Still plenty of money for the Vikings to sign a starter if they want to, considering they'll get another $8M or so after June 1st. 

But I tend to think everything is done now until the draft. If the tackle the Vikings want isn't on the board at 14, they will either pull an on-the-clock trade for Orlando Brown or take an Edge and try to sign someone like Eric Fisher after the draft. Mitchell Schwartz might also be an option, but he's a RT only, so that would mean O'Neill moves to the left. 

If the cards fall right, Vikings can go into '21 with completely rebuilt offensive and defensive lines.

just to put things in perspective the WFT traded Trent Williams for a 2020 5th and a 2021 3rd round pick.  No need to trade #14 for OB.

Big difference is trent williams is 32. OBJ is 24 on rookie contract. Ravens will get more for Orlando.

not alot more Trent was a top OT, and OB is a pretty good OT, that will need to be signed to a big contract.  Highly doubt they will get a 1st.  Definitely not top half of rd 1.

Huge difference in the trade value between 32 and 24. No, I doubt Vikings would give 14 straight up. I think the balance might be something like 14 for OBJ and 58.

Vikings will want OBJ and 27, but a 24-year-old, two-time pro bowl tackle is worth more than simply moving down 13 slots. If it happens it will likely be something in between the two.

 my guess is the cap space will be used to extend Oneil and/or Smith or trade and sign Brown versus signing an UFA.

I think Geoff said awhile ago that a swap of 1st rounders and the Vikings add a 3rd rounder might work. Seems to make sense to me.

Still have cap space coming from Rudy on June 1. Enough for rooks and a little cushion I’m told.
