Vikings Territory

● By Josh Frey
Unlike recent years, the Minnesota Vikings’ haul of draft picks is somewhat slim. Instead of 10+ selections, they have seven in 2022, and despite the ongoing jokes about Rick Spielman and his love for seventh rounders, they all come in the first six rounds. This comes in part because of recent trades, but they also likely will be without any compensation picks due to a free agent spending spree in 2021. In 2021, the Vikings received compensatory picks in the third round as well as a pair in the seventh.
