Crazy Idea for the Draft



So I was looking at the trade value for draft picks and I noticed that the sum of all of our draft picks roughly equals that of the Vikings 3rd round pick. According to the chart, the Vikings 3rd pick in the draft is valued at 2200, and the sum of all our picks equals 2248.4. So that got me thinking, would anyone be OK with the idea of trading ALL of our picks this year to the Vikings for their 3rd overall pick. At 3, Kalil could be a guaranteed franchise tackle (well as long as he doesn't turn out to be like the last OT we took as a top 5 pick). If we keep our picks as is, we could probably get good, but not great picks at 1,2, and 3, and then maybe a lucky find somewhere else in the draft.

Also, somewhat of a sidenote, by not fixing our holes this year (WR/OLB...) we might just be bad enough next year to be in the position to trade up for a franchise QB such as Barkley in next year's draft. Imagine if next year we were in a position to have a franchise QB with his franchise LT. That could make for a strong future. Of course this is all speculation, but even if we ended up with an average season, I still think Kalil could be more valuable than any combination of the picks we could get in the draft. But that's just my opinion, what do you guys think?
