Minnesota sent pick No. 93 to Baltimore and received Nos. 102, 191 and 193. The Vikings selected Alexander Mattison, Marcus Epps and Oli Udoh, extracting several seasons of useful roster value from the three selections. Mattison served as Dalvin Cook’s primary backup before becoming the starter in 2023, while Udoh provided multi-position offensive-line depth. Baltimore used No. 93 on Miles Boykin, whose receiving impact remained limited.

Trade Analysis
Minnesota’s 2019 third-round marathon ended with one of its better trade-down results. After several moves, the Vikings held No. 93 and sent it to Baltimore for No. 102 and two sixth-round selections, Nos. 191 and 193. The Ravens wanted Miles Boykin, while Minnesota used the picks on Alexander Mattison, Marcus Epps and Oli Udoh.
Mattison never became a star, but he was a useful part of Minnesota’s offense for five seasons. He backed up Dalvin Cook, delivered several productive spot starts and eventually entered 2023 as the No. 1 back. His final year with the Vikings exposed his limitations as a featured runner, but a third-round pick who stays five seasons and handles meaningful work has clear value. Udoh also outperformed the usual expectations for pick No. 193. He developed into a versatile reserve tackle and guard, made starts when injuries hit and remained with the organization for multiple seasons.
Epps did not become valuable for Minnesota itself because the Vikings waived him during his rookie year, but the pick still identified an NFL-caliber safety who later started for Philadelphia and Las Vegas. That missed retention opportunity should keep Minnesota from receiving full credit for his later career.
Boykin gave Baltimore a big-bodied receiver and strong blocking presence, but his passing-game production remained modest. He caught only a limited number of passes during three Ravens seasons and eventually continued his career elsewhere. Baltimore used one higher pick to target a specific need and did not receive a comparable long-term starter.
Minnesota therefore wins on volume and usable roster years. The Vikings move to B+ because Mattison and Udoh provided meaningful service, while Baltimore rises slightly to C because Boykin was not worthless and contributed in a run-heavy offense. The trade remains a clear Vikings win without qualifying as a franchise-changing move.
