Minnesota Vikings GM Rick Spielman is preparing for a huge three days for the franchise in the form the NFL Draft. The team’s plans are unknown to most outside of a few people within the organization, though Spielman’s wife has issued a warning.
According to the Star Tribune’s Ben Goessling, Spielman said his wife told him not to come home if they draft another cornerback.

She knows what’s up.
The Vikings drafted cornerback Mike Hughes No. 30 overall last year. He played in six games before tearing his ACL. In 2016, they took cornerback Mackensie Alexander with their second-round pick. In 2015, they used their No. 11 overall pick on cornerback Trae Waynes.
Spielman likes his corners, though this year may be different.
