There are a couple of ways the Vikings could proceed when they’re on the clock for the first time. They could trade back with hopes of giving themselves more darts to throw. They could stay put and simply take the best player available. “It’s about impact,” Adofo-Mensah said. “That impact can be a great player or multiple good players.”

Several teams could be looking to trade into the mid-30s, as the prospects projected to be available early on Day 2 are comparable to those expected to go off the board in the first round. That only adds to the intrigue surrounding the Minnesota Vikings and pick No.

The Vikings have pick No. 24 in the first round of the NFL Draft but have only four picks overall. Can they trade down to accumulate more?
