So the Vikings stay at 18, trade up, down or out of the 1st?

Option #5 : keep trading down until you get the coveted FIVE 6th & 7th round picks.

I am not sure why people are confident in this current regimes ability to identify good offensive linemen.
Here are the picks since Spielman assumed fool control ...
Year, Player, Round
2012, Matt Kalil, 1
2013, Jeff Baca, 6
2013, Travis Bond, 7
2014, David Yankey, 5
2015, TJ Clemmings, 4
2015, Tyrus Thompson, 6
2015, Austin Shepherd, 7
2016, Willie Beavers, 4
2017, Pat Elflein, 3
2017, Danny Isidora, 5
2018, Brian O'Neill, 2
2018, Colby Gossett, 6
... that is pretty scary.  Only O'Neill is showing promise.  Hopefully Elflein rebounds this year otherwise he would be a bust.
The only prayer is that Kubiak and Dennison will bring a different perspective.

Silly boy. FACTS won't sway the Rychophants' ill conceived perception of their personnel guru! 

13 seasons, 2 playoff wins? Pish-posh, my good man! Have you no understanding of how  much more important OTHER statistics are as opposed to this ridiculous and highly over rated thing called PLAYOFF SUCCESS?! Who gives a damn about THAT? I wants me some Pro Bowlers like Cordarelle, Blair and Teddy. The 7 draft selections utilized for those 3 Pro Bowlers was absolutely worth the exorbitant draft expenditure. How dare for you to expect more! 

I am shocked, shocked I say!!

I'm also shocked you didn't include the equally  scary record at QB during Schpielman's career (not only here, but Chicago and Miami, too). But I'll overlook that....for today only!
