Miami trades down w/ Minnesota. The Vikes get #2 overall. Miami gets the #7 overall pick, MN's 2nd rounder this yr and a 4th rounder next year. Disclaimer: This is sheer specualtion on my part!
This could happen, but only if a player does something to get the Vikings drooling....if Drayton Edwards or Mike Williams run a killer time, or if Derrick Johnson posts a 4.4 in the 40, maybe teams get enamored with them and want to come up....the Viks need defense and a WR now, so they could make serious trading partners....i doubt it though....

They would be better served drafting a WR, and 2 defensive players in the 1st 2 rds IMO.
How high is Mike Williams supposed to go? The Vikings do not need a WR with the 7th pick. I still think Marcus Robinson can produce. He's a great athlete. I see the Vikings using the 18th pick on a WR.
I would be disgusted if they pick M. Williams at all. M. Robinson will produce and N. Burleson will be a play maker. Culpepper knows how to make receivers. #7 S. Rolle CB #18 A. Terry OT
On ESPN Radio tonight, a writer from Pro Football Weekly told Todd Wright that the Vikings are 1)Completly enamoured with Mike Williams and 2)Reluctant to draft 2 1st rounds....he stated that the Vikings are so in love with Mike Williams, that they will go as high as they have too to get him and would want to package their 2 1st rounders to do so....he did say that all this is subject to Williams workouts....for the 1st time, I think there is a chance that the Vikings and Dolphins might be talking if this is true....
I can see how they would need to move up. With Chicago, cleveland, and tennessee drafting ahead of them, if 2 of them target a reciever in 1st rd then williams could be gone. My guess though is that he would be there at 7
Im thinking hes the 2nd WR on most boards right now, behind Brayton Edwards....but that is subject to change based on individual workouts....Im really starting to get excited about the draft as the rumors start to fly....
It would not surprise me if the Vikings choose not to draft two players from the first round. Fact is, they do very well with their later round picks, so why would they want to pay the price for two 1st rounders? I am hoping what you say is right...the Vikings definitely will need a new receiver. Burleson is going to be a playmaker, and I see him being the #1 receiver next year, but he'll need some help. M Robinson gets too affected by injuries to be relied on as a #2 receiver. Man...I cannot wait for the draft now.
That would be so lame if the Vikings didn't use their two first rounders, just to not have to pay them the money. They are 32 MILLION UNDER the cap. I can't stand how cheap they are sometimes. How much do you want to bet they don't upgrade their FS spot. Lets face it, Russell is no good, in my eyes.

Dont feel bad it is the most misused word in the English language.
