Payton himself said he
probably could have traded back and gotten more late round picks. He then stated that if that's your guy why take the chance. Many thought they may have even been able to get a 2nd rounder and still got Nix. Most boards had Nix ranked anywhere from 38-50 overall. Regardless of which overall ranking you chose he was a negative draft choice. But in the end he could be the best QB in the draft. It's all a crap shoot. I did read an ESPN article that said the Vikings gave up way too much draft capital in the Dallas Turner pick. Interesting article but it's like reading a book. It was just posted today.
