Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman is mostly known for his propensity to trade back in the first round of the NFL drafts he has run and that might not change this year.
Spielman said on Tuesday, two days in advance of the first round of the 2016 draft, that he has already received two calls from teams interested in trading up to get the Vikings’ No. 23 overall pick. One of those teams has a pick later in the first round, the other in the second round.
“It’ll be interesting at the 23rd pick because I’ve already had two calls that I can verify today about teams potentially coming up our way,” Spielman said during his annual predraft press conference.
