One of the reigning theories in Vikings Land is that Kwesi Adofo-Mensah – a stock trader by trade – will be looking to slide down the draft board. Entering the event with a mere 5 selections isn’t ideal, so forfeiting the 23rd pick in exchange for more options in RD2 and/or RD3 has merit.
Indeed, the Vikings may trade back if they’re in love with some of the players projected to be available on Day 2 of the NFL Draft. Of course, seeing the initial 22 picks will help to demystify who could reasonably be available on Friday, April 28th.
