38 Trade e- Washington Redskins trade with the Vikings who select: RB Todd Gurley, Georgia
Why this trade is made:
The Vikings get the chance to replace Adrian Peterson with perhaps the best back to enter the league since Peterson. Obviously the injury situation is a factor, but that is why Gurley could still be here in the 2nd.
The Redskins continue to trade back and add extra picks.
39 Trade f- Chicago Bears trade with the Texans who select: CB Jalen Collins, LSU
Why this trade is made:
The Texans need to match up with the talented receiving corps in the AFC South, and Collins has the potential to be a long term stud. Early on he would be the 3rd corner but against the Colts you need 3 corners.
The Bears add some extra draft depth with this move.

52 Trade h- Philadelphia Eagles trade with the Colts who select: CB Ronald Darby, FSU
Why this trade is made:
The Colts are going all in this year so getting another quality corner is key for them. They know they will have to go through some top notch QB play from teams like the Patriots, Broncos, Chargers, Steelers, and Ravens just to win the AFC so secondary depth is key.
The Eagles get to move back some to get in better range to get their developmental QB to go behind Bradford.
53 Cincinnati Bengals: WR Nelson Agholor, USC
54 San Francisco 49ers (via Det): G Tre Jackson, FSU
55 Trade i- Arizona Cardinals trade with the Vikings who select: DT Xavier Cooper, Washington
Why this trade is made:
This is a player for picks trade as this projects the Vikings trade Adrian Peterson to the Cardinals for their 2nd and 4th round selections.
