The Minnesota Vikings concocted a nifty trade on night #1 of the 2021 NFL Draft, enabling the team to accrue three draft picks for the price of one (and the 143rd overall pick). The transaction netted general manager Rick Spielman offensive linemen Christian Darrisaw and Wyatt Davis — two potential stalwart pieces that could solve an ever-fledging Vikings offensive line.
The trade also allowed Spielman to draft Kellen Mond in the 3rd Round, a quarterback that will likely get a chance to start in the NFL down the line.
According to CBS Sports’ Adam Schein, though, the Mond Era in the North Star State will begin sooner than most Vikings brains might expect.
