The Vikings made a move to protect quarterback Kirk Cousins' blind side, selecting left tackle Christian Darrisaw of Virginia Tech with the 23rd pick in the NFL draft on Thursday night.
The Vikings had traded down in the first round for the second year in a row, sending the No. 14 pick to the Jets.
The Vikings also sent a fourth-round pick to the Jets and gained two more third-round picks. They now have four third-round picks and three fourth-rounders, giving them plenty of options should they choose to move back into the second round on Friday after trading their second-round pick to the Jaguars in the Yannick Ngakoue trade last August.
