The NFL Draft is always exciting with Rick Spielman in charge at the Vikings, and he delivered again this year by trading the Vikings original first round pick.
Experts continue to predict which direction the team will go with their fist pick, but the overall consensus is that it will likely be one of these players.
Vikings trade down from 25th to 31st, using that pick to select cornerback Jeff Gladney as Minnesota replaces a secondary depleted by several offseason exits.
The NFL Draft begins Thursday night and the first couple of rounds are filled with excitement. By Saturday, the third day of the draft, teams are looking for sleepers, athletes with potential from smaller schools and for roster depth. To make sure there's some fan excitement in the later rounds, NFL teams will have special guests announce their picks from all over the world.
