Any estimates of what the Vikings may be awarded this year? Early last year I saw some estimates of up to 3 additional selections, including a possible 3rd for Trae Waynes. Is any of that affected by Waynes missing the 2020 season?

No one knows the exact formula that the NFL uses... but it's assumed that contract value and performance are very heavily weighted.

Over the Cap has been very accurate in their predictions and has the Vikings getting a 4th for Waynes (likely because he missed time this season otherwise it would have been a 3rd), a 6th for Mac Alexander, and 2 7ths for Sendejo and Kearse.

They have Michael Pierce cancelling out Weatherly.

So... the Vikings 2021 draft capital could look like this:

1st
3rd
3rd (from Ravens for Yannicke)
4th
4th (from Bears)
4th (from Bills)
4th (from Waynes / comp)
5th
5th (from Steelers)
6th
6th (from Mac / comp)
7th
7th (from Sendejo / comp)
7th (from Kearse / comp)

Lots of ammo to move around.

Is that the Jeffersons I hear singing "Movin on Up"?

Gotta believe we get back into the 2nd with all this ammo.

I don't know. You know how many 7th rounders we could get out of all that?

I think the Vikings can fill a need and get a quality player at 14. I don't care if it's Gregory Rousseau, Kwity Paye, Rashawn Slater, Christian Darrisaw, Christian Barmore or others.

But Rick better be thinking about trading up into the 2nd round multiple times to target quality players and fill needs.

I would love to see him attack this draft and aggressively move up for talent.

I'd be shocked if the Vikings didn't get that 2nd back. Actually, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see them end up with two 1st rounders.

I don't believe they are receiving comp picks for Kearse & Sendejo. That would be beyond the 35 total comp pick limit.
