| Recent Blog Post: Draft Day Mock Draft: The Craziest Mock You'll See |
Today is like Christmas for NFL teams. Some teams will have their stockings stuffed with gifts, and some with coal. Until today, I have undertook the impossible practice of predicting the picks without trades. Today, I make an even more ridiculous prediction by trying to predict the trades that will happen in tonight's first round of the NFL Draft. Enjoy the craziness that follows. It'll make tonight seem rather tame. The Green means a team traded up to that spot, the pale red means the team traded down. All in all there were five trades predicted.

The Vikings turned to the Super Bowl champions for their new defensive coordinator. Leslie Frazier, who has spent the last eight years as an NFL assistant, is leaving the Indianapolis Colts to become coordinator for the Vikings, the team announced Thursday. Frazier, who has won a Super Bowl as both a player and assistant, replaces Mike Tomlin, who left last month to become head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He takes over a defense that was best against the run but second-worst against the pass.

Mike Tice was fired Sunday less than an hour after the Vikings defeated the Bears 34-10, the Associated Press reports. After starting the season 2-5 amid controversy, Tice was able to coach the team to six straight wins putting them back in the playoffs chase. However, a two-game losing streak late in the season knocked the Vikings out of the hunt.

The Vikings were sold for $600 million to an investment group led by Zygi Wilf, a shopping center mogul from New Jersey.
Wilf said he plans to keep the Vikings in Minnesota and will try to build a new outdoor stadium. The news should be welcome for Vikings fans as prior owner Red McCombs had gained a reputation for being cheap by failing to spend the full salary cap amount each season and investing in the team's infrastructure.

Owner Red McCombs says for now he's standing behind head coach Mike Tice despite the ongoing controversy over the allegation he sold scalped Super Bowl tickets in violation of league policy.
"No, there's no change in status. The league is doing its report on that, and I won't have any comment until we get the report from the league," McCombs told the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
NFL security is investigating allegations that Tice and running backs coach Dean Dalton led and profited from a Super Bowl ticket-scalping operation within the Vikings organization, the paper adds.
Many are speculating new ownership may use this incident as a way to fire Tice and invalidate his remaining contract if they don't think Tice is their choice to lead the team.
The $625 million sale of the Vikings to an ownership group headed by Arizona investor Reggie Fowler is still pending NFL approval and may not be completed until summer.

The Vikings got lucky by making the playoffs despite an 8-8 record. For the second consecutive season, they finished off a 3-7 slide with a loss on the road against a non-playoff team. The Redskins were without Clinton Portis, LaVar Arrington and Fred Smoot, among others. Patrick Ramsey entered the game with a 72.0 passer rating but posted a 100.8 rating against the Vikings. Coach Mike Tice and his players have insisted all season that this season wasn't the same as last season. Actually, it was worse than last year, when they missed the playoffs at 9-7. Last year, the Vikings beat playoff teams such as Green Bay, Kansas City and Seattle. This year, the only team with a winning record that the Vikings beat was Jacksonville (9-7), The Sports Xchange reports.
