The Minnesota Vikings were among the teams involved in trades during the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft and they could be aggressive again on Friday. Ahead of day two of the NFL Draft, Vikings GM Rick Spielman admitted that Minnesota could make another draft-day trade.

#Vikings GM Rick Spielman to me on the phone: 'We're trying to be as aggressive as we can tonight because of the amount of capital we have..If there are players still there..in the upper echelon of the 2nd/3rd round..once we finalize our game plan that's a definite possibility."

During the first round of the draft, the Vikings stayed put at pick No. 22, deciding to select Justin Jefferson out of LSU. On the other hand, at pick No. 25, Minnesota fielded offers for it, choosing to move back to No. 31 in exchange for a few picks from the San Francisco 49ers.

Still, even though they moved back a few spots, the Vikings were able to select Jeff Gladney, the cornerback that the team wanted all along. Provided that, Minnesota has been considered by many as the biggest winners of the first round of the draft.

Following the first-round trade with San Francisco, the Vikings now have 12 picks remaining in the final six rounds of the draft. With the amount of draft capital they have, Minnesota is well-equipped to make a move if they see a player they like.

Also, if the Vikings don't select an offensive tackle, maybe we could see them negotiate a deal with the Washington Redskins for Trent Williams. Just a day before the draft got underway, Minnesota was listed as a team that could pursue the veteran left tackle.

Seeing that the Vikings have a slew of remaining draft picks, they have a variety of routes they can take in the final two days of the draft. Don't be surprised if Minnesota is one of the more aggressive teams once again on Friday night.
