NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport is reporting the Vikings are trying to trade up in the first round next week’s NFL Draft.
Per the report, Tennessee wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson and West Virginia wide receiver Tavon Austin could be on Minnesota’s wish list.
From Total Access: Hear #VIkings want to move up in draft from 23 or 25. Want CB & WR. Moving up would likely mean WR: Austin or Patterson?

A team wanting to move back: #Chargers. If they don't get the offensive tackle they want at 11, will want to get picks. Not surprising

Of course.. the #Vikings also are a possibility for Manti Te'o. So doubtful they'd lose both firsts. Bet 25 stays, but we'll see.

Sports Illustrated’s Don Banks, who includes trades in his mock drafts, has the Vikings staying put at 23 and 25.
