A new era has begun in Minnesota and new Vikings General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah made his mark with 10 selections in the 2022 NFL Draft. But were they good ones? jfmckessy has the Vikings' draft grades. FrontOffice33 | SKOL
A new era has begun in Minnesota this year. After eight years under Head Coach Mike Zimmer that included three playoff appearances, the Vikings decided to embrace a full front office overhaul after back-to-back losing seasons. The team fired Zimmer and General Manager Rick Spielman after the conclusion of the 2021 season.
Getting cornerback Andrew Booth Jr. in the second round is a great value addition for Minnesota. Booth has elite ball skills that really show off the fact he used to be a receiver. Those skills and his ability to stick to receivers in man coverage should make opposing quarterbacks wary about targeting the Clemson product.
Asamoah has great speed and a super long wingspan that, combined with his physicality, make him an exceptional tackler. He’s also got the great lateral mobility and athleticism to excel in pass coverage in zone schemes, covering tight ends and even playing man-to-man over running backs out of the backfield.
Chandler has good vision and great footwork that make him a hard man to wrap up and tackle. He also has a ton of upside as a third-down back because of his strong pass-protection ability and his potential as a pass-catcher split out in the slot or even out wide. Chandler will likely be able to contribute as early as this year as a committee/third-down back.
Nick Muse is a solid YAC guy who thrives on short passes over the middle, while using his physicality and vision to generate extra yardage once the ball is in his hands. He doesn’t have a ton of upside as an in-line blocker, but his pass-catching potential is there.
