I've said it before, but I think it bears repeating; the trade in the 1st Rd of the 2013 draft to grab Patterson is the 2nd worst trade in the history of the Vikings. From what we gave up to what we got back in Patterson's "production" over 4 years (or lack thereof), it should be a stark lesson to Rick and other GM's that it's just not worth it.
If you remember the H Walker trade, we essentially gave the Cowboys 3 Super Bowls - they used the picks we gave them to build up their team and acquire key pieces for their Super Bowl teams in the early 90's. Now fast forward to 2013 and Rick allowed New England to net our 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 7th Rd picks in 2013 - turning one player into 4. And New England used those picks for LB Jamie Collins, CB Logan Ryan, WR Josh Boyce and RB LeGarrett Blount who they acquired in a trade for the 7th Rd pick - all of those players being key pieces in New England's Super Bowl run in 2015 over the Seahawks. Logan & Blount were also part of New England's team this past Super Bowl run, as well.
There have been some fans speculating that perhaps Rick has the ammo to move back into the 1st Rd during this upcoming 2017 Draft, but this horrible Drafty Day trade in 2013 should serve as a stark reminder that it can go horribly wrong and the chances of getting enough return back on that investment are nearly slim-to-none.

Yep! I would almost never trade up if I were GM.

The APY comes in at $4.25M for Cordarrelle Patterson, & it comes in as a 6th round 2018 compensatory pick for the Vikings.
