Vikings thought they had this in the bag

Now thinking about Panthers situation now. If the Bears didn’t get trade done with Panthers, they would have try with very lesser package trade with Texans or Colts or Seahawks (Maybe?). I think Texans were still leaning towards Stroud, but lose out on Will Anderson Jr, so they stay put knowing Bears had reports on pursuing Anderson Jr if available. Colts on other hand probably just expected Stroud or Richardson, now telling them they have a chance on shorter guy, better college stats, multiple accolades and more footage vs. Raw 6’4 Project Athlete with arm cannon, might be injure prone, lesser footage. I’m very thankful Panthers traded up that would put Colts in that difficult situation.
