The Minnesota Vikings are in the middle of an extremely important offseason and the NFL Draft might end up being the most crucial three days of general manager Rick Spielman’s time in Minneapolis.
Slammed against the salary cap, the Vikings have parted ways with wide receiver Stefon Diggs, defensive end Everson Griffin and their top three cornerbacks since the 2019 season ended. Understanding that the latest competitive window was closing – especially on defense – Spielman dealt Diggs to Buffalo in exchange for the No. 22 overall pick, giving the Vikings two first round picks and six picks in the first four rounds.
