Since none of these selections were earned by compensatory means, all of them are eligible to be traded and could be used to either select a player or be traded away. This allows the Vikings to be creative and maneuver themselves around the draft order without sacrificing future draft picks unless Minnesota decides to make a huge move on draft day.
