The Cleveland Browns originally had the No. 4 overall pick in the draft but they ended up moving back and allowing the Buffalo Bills to trade up and draft Sammy Watkins but they weren’t done trading there. The Browns moved up from No. 9 to the No. 8 pick which meant the Minnesota Vikings were picking No. 9.

There was a lot left on the board for the Vikings,but they  ended up drafting Anthony Barr from UCLA.

There was some who thought that Johnny Manziel could have been the pick here but his slide continues as Mike Zimmer grabbed a pass rushing linebacker the Vikings desperately need.
