Vikings Mock Draft Fallout after 49ers-Dolphins Trade

Minnesota Vikings rumors from early February that sent quarterback Kirk Cousins to San Francisco – are formally dead.

The 49ers traded up nine spots in the 2021 NFL Draft on Friday, placing themselves in the third overall spot for late April. The price was colossal and close to unprecedented. General Manager John Lynch sent the 12th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, a 3rd-Rounder from 2021, and two 1st-Round picks from 2022 and 2023 to the Miami Dolphins.

This can be classified as a Godfather deal.
