Yeah, thanks! You idiotic douchebags. Give our division rival three extra draft picks for what? To move up one slot to get a player they weren't going to take anyway?

What the hell were you thinking?

---

Yeah, I don't understand the trade either. Not sure what they were thinking or how it seemed to benefit them.

the vikings used my old trick

"we know u want richardson. if u dont trade for this pick, we're going to trade it to someone else who will pick richardson. we're giving you priority."

According to Chris Mortensen, no one was trading with the Vikings. Basically, Vikings swindled the Browns.

And Peter King tweeted something about the Bucs wanting trade up for Richardson, but that could be BS coming from the Vikes camp...

---

Exactly what gbguy said.. The Vikings were looking to trade down to no further than #5, Cleveland was the team the bit.

---

A far cry from the old vikings ploy of sitting there for 15 minutes and they look around to watch other teams sprinting to the podium to draft in front of them all the while wondering where was the fire.

---

That's Mike Tice for you! lol

Bring him back!

Unbeknown to anyone else in the draft room Zygi Wilf and Rick Spielman hired a draft consultant who sat quietly in the corner with a hoodie pulled over his face. Everyone thought he was a sleep until he began chanting in an unknown tongue.

"You do not want the 4th pick. The 3rd is a much better spot. It is almost like getting the first pick in the draft. You do not want your 2nd pick in the 4th round. It doesn't really belong to you any way. The 5th and 7th round picks are bad ones. Signing all those extra players will only cost you money. Make some one else, The Vikings, Yeah the Vikings. Make them suffer. They already have money issues. This move could break them."
