The Vikings traded down three spots, sending pick #159 to the Patriots. In exchange, the Vikings receive Pick #162 from New England, and an additional seventh-round selection, #239 overall.

The Patriots then used the selection they got from the Vikings to select Byron Cowart, a defensive tackle from Maryland.

So, the Vikings get their hands on yet another seventh-round selection to move down just three spots. They didn’t drop down too far, and they’ll be on the clock. . .again. . .momentarily.
