Now that the 2020 NFL draft is over, we can begin second-guessing every decision the Vikings have made in the past three months:
Q Should they have traded for Trent Williams?
A Would he have been the best magic-bullet incoming player the Vikings could have acquired? Yes. He would have immediately upgraded the offensive line and solved the team’s most pressing problem, and the San Francisco 49ers did well to get him for a third- and a fifth-round draft pick.
So, the 49ers win and the Vikings lose?
That’s half-right. The 49ers did well to get Williams at that price, and he will replace the retiring Joe Staley.
