Vikings-Browns Trade Talks Could Shake Up NFL Draft..ANHTRUC.

 

As we inch closer to the 2025 NFL Draft, there’s a palpable buzz among Minnesota Vikings fans, all wondering who the team will snap up with their picks. There’s plenty of speculation about whether the Vikings will hold steady at their No. 24 spot or engage in a bit of draft-day maneuvering.

General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah isn’t one to shy away from trades, and he’s proven it before by pulling off some savvy moves. If an enticing opportunity comes knocking, don’t be shocked if the Vikings make a play to either move up for a coveted prospect or trade down to expand their selection pool.

There’s a potential twist on the horizon involving the Cleveland Browns, as reported by KSTP’s Darren Wolfson on SKOR North’s “Minnesota Sports with Mackey & Judd.” The buzz is that the Vikings and Browns are chatting about a possible trade not for the Browns’ No. 2 overall pick, but for the No. 33 overall pick—the prime real estate at the start of the second round.

Here’s the scenario: If the Vikings are on the clock and a trade down makes sense given the prospects available, it could be a win-win. The relationship between Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Cleveland’s GM Andrew Berry might just be the secret sauce that helps this trade shake out smoothly.Kwesi Adofo-Mensah's Press Conference from the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine - Daily Norseman

Historically, the Vikings have valued holding onto a first-round pick for that all-important fifth-year rookie contract option. But priorities can shift, and if there’s no must-have player at No. 24, leveraging that pick’s value could be the smart play.

We all know the buzz of Thursday night’s draft can get buzz-worthy in its own right, and some Vikings fans might feel a tinge of disappointment if Minnesota trades out of that first-round spotlight. Especially at those draft parties where the suspense builds, only for pick No. 24 to pass by without a selection.

But let’s face it—if the Vikings can flip that pick to stack up more selections and snag a top-tier talent at No. 33, all will likely be forgiven. As they navigate their position in the draft, you better believe the Vikings have thoroughly evaluated who might be available and when.

So, keep an eye on those draft boards, Vikings fans. This strategic shuffle could be just the move to bolster the team’s roster for the future.
