The draft so far feels to me like Kwesi is running for mayor of the NFC North. “Oh, please after you, Detroit. No, no after you Green Bay.” The picks so far feel like they are making the best of a bad situation. If you drop 20 spots, well, Cine is a good save. If you drop another 20 spots it seems like Booth kinda, sorta makes up for it. But man, what did we pass on to end up where we did? In some way I can’t really explain, I feel like this draft was more about KAM than the players drafted. 

Perfectly stated

You do understand they had to trade assets to us as well, right? Lol

Also there were other teams willing to trade with Detroit and Green Bay so they would have benefited anyway. We could have been left on the outside. Would that be better?

That justification from Kwesi rang hollow to me...  even if we didn't consider Hamilton, Jermaine Johnson, Williams, or Davis blue chip guys we gave up too much.  It was a fair trade, but you don't do fair trades with a 20 pick drop, especially with a division rival.

I'd have preferred to stay at 12 to draft Hamilton if we were taking a safety with our first pick.  He's better in coverage than Cine, but Cine is a better enforcer/tackler.

I liked the Cine/Booth picks where we got them but I'm less than impressed with Ingram and Asamoah...  seemed early for a guy with incest rape allegations in his past (undraftable to me) and the other guy is small but fast and a good blitzer.  

This draft is C+ material (at best) in my eyes so far.

I guess to some it is better not to have the extra second or fourth then. It would take even longer for the team to make progress. Cool.

The answer is......the Bears and Vikings....

“Who are the teams that Kwesi DIDNT help in the 2022 draft”

Don't fret, we still have 4 rounds left for us to offer some help to the Bears as well.

How would it take longer?  Our extra 2nd was used on a dude who has sexual assault allegations in his past.

Seeing how things fell, we could have done Hamilton at 12 and taken Booth at 46 instead of 42.  Then we had our own 3rd we could have traded back with if we wanted a 4th.

I am in agreement on the dude with the sexual assault allegations. I was more speaking to trading down to get more picks earlier instead of stockpiling the 7th rounders.
