We got a significant shock from the Minnesota Vikings a couple of weeks ago when the word came down that they had acquired a second first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Vikings sent the Houston Texans their second-round pick in this year’s draft (#42 overall) along with a sixth-round pick this year and a second-round pick in 2025 in order to acquire the 23rd overall pick.
The Texans have since used that 2025 second-round selection in a trade with the Buffalo Bills to acquire former Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who had apparently worn out his welcome in Western New York.
