#Vikings GM Rick Spielman said he would feel confident drafting a WR beyond the first round who could plug in and play. He said "even in the fourth and fifth round" there are guys they could get at WR that could make immediate contributions.

#Vikings GM Rick Spielman, "Our (draft) preparation has been almost identical except that we're doing it virtually.'' Thanks ownership for providing equipment. Says the Vikings might do more things virtually even when things get back to normal.

#Vikings don't expect to fill out roster by end of weekend, instead focusing on quality college free agents on Saturday night and Sunday before widening scope during the week. A solution to logistical issues w/ position coaches spread out, fluid financial offers to UDFAs.

Spielman: "Since we don't have a rookie minicamp, we don't have to be at 90. We can take our time." #Vikings staying aggressive w/ UDFAs. They've sent 300 prospects a promotional video of the team, facilities + got into tourism. "We also do a little piece on living in Minnesota."
