Two teams, I hear, that had interest in moving up to 23 when the #Vikings were on the clock: Saints (29) and Chiefs (31). Belief is at least one of those teams would've taken Jordan Addison. Vikes like him so much, trade offers not rich enough, stayed at 23.

The New Orleans Saints didn’t trade up in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft, but it’s not for lack of trying. Some intrigue surrounded the Minnesota Vikings at the No. 23 pick, who ran their 10-minute clock down to the final seconds before turning in their card to make their pick. Per Minneapolis 5 Eyewitness News’ Darren Wolfson, the Vikings took so long because they were weighing trade offers from the Saints (at No. 29) and the Kansas City Chiefs (at No. 31).
