Vikings in talks to trade up

Maybe they are talking to each other about a trade?
Reiff, Griffen, and Waynes for Clowney and one of their 3rd round picks?
I need to slow down.

Question:

If a team earlier selected the guy a team REALLY wanted...

Couldn't the lower order team arrange to trade for that player already taken....in exchange for their CURRENT pick.....and maybe a later one? (fourth round or whatever?

Example:
Say team at 15 takes "Player X"
But the Team at 18 wanted "Player X" so they offer their 18...and another pick down the road that the "15 team" agrees to all to get "Player X" who was already selected

Didn't this happen to one of the Mannings? or Horse-Face?

If we trade in the first to move up, it'll likely be with Buffalo.  They would give up #9 for #18 and Trey Waynes.  They have $30 in cap space.  

Rick doesn't trade up in round 1. When I see it, I'll believe it.

I could see Rick moving Waynes to move up. I just don't see him giving up any draft capital.

Too many questions swirling around Hill and Hughes right now to trade Waynes. Even if Hughes is starting to run around in shorts.

Yeah, it's no slam dunk. The only thing we know for certain is that they've talked to other teams about Waynes. Your point about Hill and Hughes is well taken, but think of it another way: It's no secret that the Vikings loved what they saw from Hughes. Nothing but raves (sure, some of that may have been to justify an unpopular pick), but if they really do think he's the future, it's possible that he beats out Waynes for the starting job. Then you have $9M of cap space devoted to a non-starter when you could've recouped that and gained a day-two pick. And nothing's stopping you from adding corner depth in the middle rounds. Just something to think about. :-)

There is a good chance that the top three tackles will be off the hoard at 18, so trading up could make sense if that is what they covet. Though we’d likely need to give up at least a 3rd to move up, which would hurt given the current state of the roster. However, not upgrading the OL would be a disaster & everyone knows that we need OL help, so it is likely that teams would try to trade ahead of us for OL.

Who starts the season since Hill is serving a 4 game suspension if you trade Wayne.  Betting a lot, hoping Hill can get his head on straight...

I'm all for getting a starting LT by moving up. All for it. There's just no way Rick will do it, he's more concerned about getting five 7th round draft picks. Contrary to this board, I think Reiff sucks and I dare to demand more from that spot (gasp)!

I doubt Hughes will be at 100% by the start of the season.  I really hope he can go.

Last thing I saw was he was ahead of schedule, so...maybe he's ready...

If we trade up big im going to be pissed. Esspecially when we could have moved up just a few spots last year and got a starter on the OL. Im not against it if its a sure thing but Im not sure thats the case this year on the OL.

I think its legitimate. My mock I'm about to post will suggest that as well ;)
