Vikings trade up to draft Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy at 10
The Minnesota Vikings must have felt desperation when they saw the New York Jets sitting at the 10th pick in the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday.
It could explain why they swung a deal with the Jets to move from 11 to 10 before selecting Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy.

Was Minnesota worried about another team speaking to the Jets about the 10th pick? Or was it pure panic?
