vike daddy Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 What would a team pay for the 30th pick? It is worth 620 points and the point values drop consistently from that point. There is a potential pick marriage that would work out if both teams are interested that would be somewhat similar to the deal the Vikings made in 2010 – the last time they had the 30th pick. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are sitting with the sixth pick of the second round (No. 38 overall) and also have the second pick of the fourth round (No. 102 overall). Those two picks have a combined value of 612 points – if the Vikings were sticklers, they could ask for a seventh-round pick. Tampa has the second-to-last pick. The Vikings may do on opening night of the draft what they did in 2010 – trade out of the first round and load up at the beginning of the final two days and prove to themselves that they can find gold in the final six rounds of the draft. https://scout.com/nfl/vikings/Article/Should-Minnesota-Vikings-trade-out-of-No-30-117125892 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcblack34 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I wouldn't be against it, depending on who is on the board. However, it sucks sitting at a bar through 29 picks just to find out that your team has traded out of the first round and you have to wait until the next day to see them pick. I miss the Saturday/Sunday NFL draft. A lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 It depends on who is available. I don't want to trade down far, but trading down 3-8 picks, I'd be fine with that, picking up a fourth or so as well as the second. I'd want to know that a few offensive linemen are still available, and probably a UT so they still have options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 does our #30 become desirable for another team because it would carry with it a 5th year option on the player's contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I tend to think a fifth year option makes a pick more desirable. Especially in the case of a premium position. If a QB falls to 30, I'd expect that someone would be looking to get back into round one to get that extra potential year of control on a QB in particular.

wcblack34 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 If one of the Top 4 or 5 QBs falls to #30, I think the Vikings should take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss the Saturday/Sunday NFL draft. A lot. I agree. It all depends upon who is on the board at the time. If a QB or a top CB is available, it may warrant trading down to add some picks later. While it has been in the past, I'm not sure the 5th year option is going to be all that valuable to Spiels this year, so he can give that up to get more picks later. And I agree on the 2-day draft...I think 3 days is just too much. When you have "sexy" names at the top of the draft, I'm sure the prime-time draft works, but when you don't, it just turns into a bore-fest and drags on.

vikingsrule Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I wouldn't trade up, I'd prefer to stay put. Trading down doesn't do much for me unless it was a small trade down. looking at the roster in 2019, there is a risk for a lot of roster turnover. I'd rather get some of those replacements a year early and I'm inckined to want to hang onto those early picks to do so. at 30, grab the best available OL or defender, likely can't go wrong with that approach given what's at stake in 2019. If I can move down to 34 and get a decent pick out of it and the board doesn't change much, I'm fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Let's just fleece the Browns again for #33 and #35. I'm not opposed to trading down but as others have said it depends on how the board falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavydan85 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 If McGlinchey, Williams, Wynn, or Hernandez are there, I hope we pick. Otherwise I'd almost prefer a trade down...especially with VikeManDan's trade lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriminalMind Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 If a top-ish talent falls to #30 (high BPA) ... you take them. If a potential day 1 starter falls to #30 (likely OL) ... you take them. If a potential day 1 starter is not available and no top-ish talent fall ... then you may trade down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klomp Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 They should if the value is right, both in the trade and on the draft board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no top talent falls, it would be hard to find a trading partner. I wouldn't be against it if the best players available aren't at a position of need and we get good value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect them to take a top player who happens to be available just because he's available. I personally wouldn't take Calvin Ridley even if he were available at #30, because they are fine at that position, but I'm certain other teams would pay a good price to move up for him.
