Draftniks and fans of the NFL draft need to pause the mock draft creation process. Tuesday’s deal between the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions shortly before the NFL’s trade deadline changed the 2023 draft order.
The Lions traded tight end T.J. Hockenson to the Vikings in exchange for a 2023 second-round pick. Detroit sent back its own fourth-rounder in 2023 too. There is a conditional 2024 pick from the Lions included in the deal, a 4th or 5th rounder based on if the Vikings win a postseason game this season.
