That was the explanation they gave. That they wanted to trade down to get him - but when they couldn't get a deal the clock expired and a few other teams got picks in.

You can't spit in your fans face. How many other times in NFL Draft history has the 15 minute clock expired on a team in the first round? I'm going to guess none.

Red McCombs was the cheapest owner in history - and they still sold the dome out every single game during his time as Vikings owner. He was the true cancer on that team. Who were his big free agent signings? None.
