Vikings vice president of player personnel Rick Spielman said numerous times before the draft that he wanted to try and get a third-round pick back after giving away theirs in the Randy Moss trade.
It didn't happen. The Vikings were unable to make a deal that would bring them a third-round pick. That means they enter the final day of the draft Saturday with seven total picks.
Assuming they don't trade any, their selections are:
Fourth round (1): No. 106 overall
Fifth round (2): 139th, 150th
Sixth round (2): 172nd, 200th
Seventh round (2): 215th, 236th
"I think because this is a deep draft, if we don't move back into the third [Friday], we're going to have the ability to get a lot more players that are going to come in and help us," Spielman said. "To have a fourth, and two fives, and two sixes, and two sevens, and without college free agency, that's going to help you get some players at least you know you have."
