While we are reading news of most NFL teams drafting new players, there is no move made by the Minnesota Vikings. I first got to know that the New Orleans Saints used their 32nd pick to draft cornerback Patrick Robinson, and then was surprised to know that the Detroit Lions had the No. 30th pick to pick running back Ndamukong Suh.
Later reports told us that the Vikings had traded the 30th overall draft pick to the Lions for second-round draft picks. It seemed that they are still waiting for Brett Favre’s decision before they make final decision on what to draft. As the second-round pick is to be held on Friday night, we will not know what the team’s plan is until then.
The first-round pick traded to Lions paid the Vikings back with 34th overall pick and a seventh rounder. The team also traded their 128th overall pick to the Lions for a No. 100 pick. Such moves caused a lot to doubt the Vikings just have no intention to pick quarterback that could fill in the spot if Favre decides not to wear back the No. 4 Vikings jersey. Considering that they have already re-signed with backup quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, it is unlikely that the team quit the first-round draft because of pending decision on quarterback. Perhaps they just want to make things appear more intriguing so that more people pay attention to them. Who knows!
