Less than two months away, the Minnesota Vikings officially know where they will pick in all seven rounds.
Well, not all seven rounds because they don’t have picks in the third or seventh rounds, but you get the idea.
The NFL released its trades on Thursday, paving the way for Friday’s official release.
The Vikings have a total of nine picks, including two fourth-round picks, thanks to their decision to trade former Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson.
In fact, every pick since then hasn’t been a natural pick for the Vikings – they’ve all come via trade.

Quick Take
The Vikings are also without a third baseman due to the Hockenson trade.
It’s certainly fair to say that Minnesota is getting a good return on their investment despite the devastating injuries late last year.
It will be interesting to see how the Vikings move in this draft with plenty of capital (including next year’s loans) . in) get up early if you want..
