Rick Spielman has made the most in-draft trades of any GM in the league since he became the Vikings GM in 2012, and once again this year he was near the top of the list in the number of trades made during the draft.
ESPN recently reported that the Vikings made the best trade of the 2020 NFL Draft, which you read here on the DN. But what about the rest of the Vikings trades - those that were made, and a few that were not ?
Spielman Took Advantage of Teams Wanting to Trade Up
Pro Football Focus recently assessed all the trades made during the 2020 NFL Draft, and while ESPN thought the Vikings trade with the 49ers was the best trade in the draft (for the Vikings), by a couple measures, the Vikings trade with the Saints may have been the biggest fleecing by Trader Rick.
