Vikings Trade Draft Pick for Offensive Line Depth

The Minnesota Vikings have been active in this year's free agency period and that continued with their latest move on Thursday.

Having battled with depth issues on their offensive line as of late, failing to provide Kirk Cousins with adequate protection, the Vikings have already made one step in the right direction by flipping a 2021 NFL Draft sixth-round pick for Arizona Cardinals center Mason Cole.

Cole comes into Minnesota as a former third-round pick by the Cardinals (No. 97 overall), and a former two-time All-Big Ten center during his collegiate career with the Michigan Wolverines.

After dealing this sixth-round pick, the Vikings are also still left with nine total NFL Draft picks as they sit currently. However, the center position and/or interior offensive lineman should be plugged by this move.
