I am thinking that this is a perfect draft for us to move down and pick up picks this year and next. There is such depth at key positions that we can find a starter in the mid to late 20's.
PFF has 10 CB's and 14 DE in there Top 80. Also some good depth at WR's for our second rounder or if a G like Kenyon Green falls. I really don't think I would take Hamilton if he makes it to 12. I think we would be able to get very good value from another team in a move down in that situation.
I would have a hard time passing up Hamilton if he made it to 12. He's one of the blue chip players in this draft, I think it would be a mistake to trade out if we have a shot at him.
That said, if the blue chip guys are gone and a team wants to move up for one of the WRs, OTs, or QBs, I'd do that all day. Especially if someone wants Pickett or Willis and is willing to pay the QB price of a first rounder next year in addition to some 2022 picks.

Love trading down, but I'd take Hamilton there.
I think maybe the one position everyone's forgetting about is ILB. More than DL, more than OLB, the depth at ILB is thin. And questionable fits in a 3-4.

If the Vikings can move down, pick up a 2023 first, and still pick somewhere in this year’s first then it’s a no-brainer. I said the same thing last year too. It’s partially because getting that extra first is so crucial, and partially because we are always drafting in this accursed 10-22 range. Feels like every single year. So oftentimes we miss out on the true blue chippers, in which case moving back some then becomes a good option. This year that might be the case again.
I agree with you. Though I get the feeling our new FO will prioritize getting more 2022 picks if they move back, rather than 2023 picks. I disagree with that if that’s what they do, but we do have lots of holes to fill and owners that want to win-now, so I understand it.
I think this year its more true since there isn't a drastic talent drop-off between pick #12 and say pick #25 at the positions the Vikings have needs at. For example if you pass on McDuffie at #12 but get #25 and a future 1st but still end up with Booth, I don't see why you wouldn't do that. Last year was tricky since you couldn't drop too far back or risk loosing out on some high-end players.

I agree, but I think if we trade down past 20-ish, we're likely going to miss out on the 4th corner. I think there are 3 potentially elite corners, Booth is pretty close to that group, but then a pretty big dropoff to the rest.
