Philadelphia moved from No. 139 to No. 132 in the 2017 fourth round and selected running back Donnel Pumphrey, sending Minnesota No. 139 and No. 230. Pumphrey never appeared in a regular-season game for the Eagles. Minnesota kept trading those selections and eventually turned the chain into several players, including defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo, who became a productive Vikings rotational pass rusher and 15-game starter in 2020.
Minnesota Vikings Received
- pick 2017 4th round pick (139th overall subsequently traded, Jehu Chesson )
- pick 2017 7th round pick (230th overall subsequently traded, Josh Harvey-Clemons)
Philadelphia Eagles Received
- pick 2017 4th round pick (132nd overall, Donnel Pumphrey )
Trade Analysis
What Changed Hands
Philadelphia traded up from No. 139 to No. 132 in the 2017 fourth round, sending Minnesota pick No. 139 plus No. 230. The Eagles selected San Diego State running back Donnel Pumphrey. Minnesota did not simply sit on the return: the Vikings moved No. 139 to Kansas City for two fifth-round choices and later used No. 230 in another trade with Washington.
Why Minnesota's Chain Worked Better
Pumphrey entered the league with major college production, but his Eagles career never reached the regular season. Injuries sent him to injured reserve as a rookie, and he was later waived without recording an NFL regular-season appearance for Philadelphia. Minnesota's trade-down tree was imperfect, but it produced multiple roster shots. The most valuable was defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo, acquired from the Washington move and later developed into a productive rotational rusher.
How the Downstream Value Aged
Odenigbo recorded seven sacks for Minnesota in 2019 and started 15 games in 2020, giving the Vikings a meaningful defensive return from the chain. Other players such as Danny Isidora and Rodney Adams added smaller contributions. Because several additional trades were involved, Minnesota cannot credit every later result solely to Philadelphia's two picks. Still, the acquired capital was directly useful in creating options that produced far more team-specific value than Pumphrey delivered.
Final Verdict
Minnesota earns a B+ and Philadelphia a D. The Eagles' move-up failed to produce regular-season value, while the Vikings turned their trade-down capital into a useful multi-player tree led by Odenigbo. Minnesota Vikings Win.
