As we approach draft opening day, dummy drafts are completed. Analysts have been reviewing prospects and talking to insiders to forecast the draft. In the meantime, the betting markets show us who the Vikings will pick.
Vikings betting markets are set to pick the back corner. Currently, the Vikings pick a corner in the +115 corner. The next bet line is a defensive line at +275.
This is a very good indicator from the betting markets. Usually, the market has very good information to establish its lines. Therefore, we can safely say that it is likely to happen.
However, it is difficult to analyze who will be the left-back. The reason is that Stingley Jr. and Sauce Gardner are the two favorites in the Top 10 Players list. Gardner has a bet line set at -800, while the Stingley Jr. at -140.

<p>Of course, betting markets are not perfect. They use probability to set the line. However, the markets will not draw these lines if they are not confident. Markets don’t like to lose money, so when they lay the lines, you’d better think they know something we don’t. </p>
<p>What does this tell us? </p>
<p>Derek Stingley Jr. In the twelfth place overall does not look great. Now, don’t get me wrong, -140 isn’t a sure thing. Although he certainly points out that needy back-corner teams like the Jets, Texans or Seahawks can snatch both Gardner and Stingley Jr. Before the clock was Vikings.</p>

Where does this Vikings leave?
The betting markets indicate that the Vikings are in a tight spot. With the 12th overall pick, he may be a long way from getting one of the two best backs in the draft. However, where there is chaos, there is opportunity.
Make no mistake. The draft will be full of chaos. For starters, news has leaked that Jaguar cars want to go down. This may not seem important to the Vikings, but it could change who was coined and when.
For example, Team Texans are expected to draft an offensive tackle for third overall. But maybe the Texans are trading to craft Travon Walker. Then they use their 13th overall pick to craft an offensive tackle like Charles Cross.

<p>Something like that would push the top offensive maneuvers, Neil and Ikuno, down the board even further. Not to mention Tibodo, Hutchinson, Gardner, Stingley, and Hamilton all fall off the board.</p>
<p>Or perhaps the jets are traded to ensure Texans don’t grab Gardner’s sauce before the clock is fourth overall. Again, this pushes the other players to the bottom of the board. Especially the edge of the rush. This could lead to other teams trading for one of their own. </p>
<p>All this could lead the Vikings down the path of selecting the best available player. This player may not be a corner. Although the Vikings could take advantage of this for trading. Several dummy drafts make them trade with the Saints or the Steelers, who are looking to draft the quarterback. </p>
<p>Trading down appears to be a no-brainer. Maybe that’s what the betting markets are really saying. </p>
<p>With Stingley and Gardner potentially out of the board, the only way the Vikings would opt for a corner back is by bartering. It would be a dream for McDuffie or Booth Jr.’s crafting to come true. after trading. And betting markets seem to depend on it. </p>
