Minnesota Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman stares at the monitor on his home computer, watching the clock wind down. At that very same moment, Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer, sequestered in “Zimmer Ridge Ranch” in Walton, Kentucky, is also watching the clock, waiting to see what the Philadelphia Eagles are going to do with the 21st pick in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
The Vikings own the 22nd overall selection in the draft, and much of their draft strategy will be determined by what the Eagles do with that 21st pick.
The Coronavirus pandemic has forced the NFL to conduct a draft unlike any before it.
