Texans trade Vikings the #23 pick and a seventh to get Vikings #42, a 2025 second, and a sixth…

Yeah, this is a pretty head scratching trade for both sides. You almost never see trades like this made until you know who's available. You're gonna feel like a jackass if you're the Texans and #21 comes up and there's a guy you had rated as a top 10 prospect sitting there. Seems like a safer bet for the Vikings, honestly. Gotta be thinking that there's no way you make this trade unless you're DAMN sure there's gonna be a guy who you think is worth it there.

Exactly. They didn't even wait for the opportunity to see which players would be available. Seems like a trade that should have happened on draft day.

Unless the Vikes are staying aggressive and now looking to use two first and next years to move up very high.

Yes, it makes sense for the Vikings. But why would the Texans make that deal?

My guess is teams may not view a dip between 12-45ish this year. They maintain that, get ann extra flyer, and gain a second next year.

I see a big drop off early and then a lot of similar value for a bit. Not a deep first but decent late 1st to 3rd talent pool this year.

I really don't get this move by the Vikings. Why trade away assets to move up when you are still not gonna be able to get any of the top 3 guys in Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, and Jayden Daniels because it's pretty much a lock that all of them will go in the first 3 picks with MHJ going at 4. I mean are they really gonna package 11 and 23 and probably more to get to 5 to jump the Giants for jj mccarthy?

Maybe packaging a deal to trade for Herbert?

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
