Trades and each team's reactions are unpredictable, but that's no fun to talk about. Let's take a look at a handful of national mockers pegging players to the Vikings at pick No. 30.

Five of the nine mocks polled went offensive tackle, while three of the other four have the league's No. 1-ranked defense adding another top pick.
