  • Texans trade first-round pick to Vikings in pick swap

    This is curious. The Minnesota Vikings are moving up.

    According to multiple reports, the Vikings will get a first-round pick this year, 23rd overall, and the 232nd overall pick from the Houston Texans for a second-round pick this year, 42nd overall, 188th overall and a second-round pick in 2025.

    For the Texans, it’s a move back out of the first round but they get a move up in the late rounds and an extra second-round pick next year. That pick could be valuable if the Vikings struggle this season. And that’s a possibility given the strength of the rest of the NFC North. The first-round pick Houston traded to Minnesota came from the Cleveland Browns as part of the Deshaun Watson trade.

    The more interesting part is what the Vikings are plotting with the extra first-round pick.
