The Vikings made their first trade of the draft on Saturday, sending the fifth-round pick they obtained from the New York Giants to Cleveland for the 168th and 170th picks in the sixth round. Confused yet? Here's how the rest of the Vikings draft looks right now:

Round 6, Pick 3 (168), From Broncos through Browns

Round 6, Pick 5 (170), From Browns

Round 6, Pick 7 (172)

Round 6, Pick 35 (200), Compensatory selection -- can't be traded

Round 7, Pick 12 (215)

Round 7, Pick 33 (236), Compensatory selection -- can't be traded

The Browns, by the way, took Pittsburgh offensive tackle Jason Pinkston with the pick obtained from the Vikings. The fifth-round pick the Vikings traded had been obtained in the Sage Rosenfels/Darius Reynaud trade last year.

Keep in mind, even though the lockout is in effect, teams can trade draft picks. No player trades can be made.
