DRAFT-VIKINGS<\/p>\n

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) \u2014 Minnesota Vikings GM Rick Spielman is preparing for a busy second day of the NFL draft after staying quiet in the first round.<\/p>\n

The Vikings did not have a first-round choice on Thursday night after trading it to the Eagles last August to acquire quarterback Sam Bradford. Even though Spielman has a history of trading up aggressively, he held tight this time around.<\/p>\n

It turns out that he wasn\u2019t blowing smoke when he said on Tuesday that a trade up into the first round was unlikely. The Vikings have three picks in the second and third rounds on Friday night, including No. 48 overall in the second round and Nos. 79 and 86 in the third round.<\/p>\n

Spielman didn\u2019t make any moves despite several players in positions of need falling down the draft board Thursday night. Entering the draft the team\u2019s biggest need was on the offensive line to bolster a unit that was among the worst in the league last season.<\/p>\n

DRAFT-PACKERS<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) \u2014 Ted Thompson wanted to make one thing clear to the NFL\u2019s other 31 general managers Thursday night: Having already traded the Green Bay Packers\u2019 first-round pick to the Cleveland Browns to move back, he\u2019s willing to do so again on Day 2 of the draft.<\/p>\n

The Packers sent the 29th overall pick to the Browns to move back four spots to the first pick of Friday\u2019s second round (No. 33). They also got a fourth-round pick (No. 108).<\/p>\n

It marked the second time in Thompson\u2019s 13 drafts as the Packers\u2019 general manager that the team did not make a first-round selection. In 2008, Thompson traded back from No. 30 in a deal with the New York Jets and selected Kansas State wide receiver Jordy Nelson with the 36th overall pick.<\/p>\n
