The Vikings trade Stefon Diggs for a player who is unlikely to ever become as good as Stefon Diggs.
I get that the Diggs trade wasn't all Minnesota's doing, and you can argue their 'hand was forced', but the only way to frame this move is one of damage limitation.
They limited the damage, but they got worse.

I think trading down is very smart there for the Vikings.
CBs they like are slipping a little, and you pick up two more picks to get a chance to still get your guy.
See, not all hate.

I think that's a great fit for the Vikings. Gladney or Jaylon Johnson I think both would have been perfect for that D
Wrote that Vikings had a really small target to hit to ace this draft, but Round 1 went about as well as it could have for them:
CB: Hit their biggest need. Perfect schematic fit.
WR: Big need, replaced Diggs.
Traded down and picked up draft capital on top of it.
Rnd 1 winners

On top of this:
Chicago didn't pick.
Green Bay picked a long-shot project QB.
And the Lions picked a replacement for one of their best defensive players.
Vikings killed it and the rest of the division didn't steal a march on them.
