There is so much smoke for the Vikings taking a QB that its going to be a huge disappointment for the Twitterheads and podcast gangs when they don't. Its pretty amazing how popular the NFL Draft is. The letdown if they snag a CB with that first round pick will be palpable, lol.

I think it's just the Vikings setting up contingencies. If player X falls to slot Y, trade terms are already worked out, so you don't have to negotiate on the clock. 

But it is interesting to know that there are players near the top of the draft the Vikings like, and if they happen to drop to a certain slot, the Vikings could make a move.

No different than any other team setting up their draft board and contingency plans.
