Just clearing the salary alone was a victory for the Vikings.  Improving draft position,  even if wasn't a major improvement,  was the cherry on top of the chocolate cream pie.  

 

I'll say this.  Rick Spielman does a good job in terms of trades.   The Percy Harvin trade is the prime example but there have been a number of smaller deals that have improved the Vikings resources as well.
