Putting into context how bad Vikings' 2022 draft was (msn.com)

I know we have beaten this up, but this article has a little more insight/comparison.

Love this one:

30. George Karlaftis, DE, Chiefs: 112 sacks, 2 sacks through 2 weeks

Cine and Booth were inactive the first two games.  They aren't even good enough to make ST as starters or backups.  Ingram looks to be an awful pick too.  Yep, Kwesi blew it and looks like the top 3 picks in his first draft are all busts.

We've gone over this, but again it wasn't just the terrible players we drafted. It was also draft trade compensation lost and the players we allowed our division rivals to move up into our spots and acquire. It's right up there with the worst drafts in franchise history IMO..

Looks gross no matter how you slice it.

Analytics must have said otherwise...

Even more disappointing when you see most of the players in the 1st two rounds have been very productive.  All we needed to do was stay on course and keep it simple, either take BPA or BPA at position of need, we were moving to a 3-4 and we passed on Davis and then passed on the best safety.  In looking at the videos from that draft Kwesi seemed to be obsessed with trading and it seems like he feels his experience as a stock trader somehow gives him an edge there and seems to pride himself on being a gambler.  Would not want him handling my money!

13. Jordan Davis, DT, Eagles: Monster on the interior D-line
14. Kyle Hamilton, S, Ravens: No. 1 rated safety in NFL by PFF as a rookie

We had a bottom ranked defense and Kwesi skipped the best safety (and probably safest pick in the draft) and a known monster defensive lineman. 
It was at this moment I knew we were in trouble moving forward. In my opinion, if you trade your 1st round pick anything more than 1 or 2 spots, you are probably in the wrong line of work. There should be several guys you “have” to have if you’re worth anything as an evaluator.

At the time I wanted Jordan Davis but would have been content with HamiltonOr we could have even traded up from 12 to 4 for Sauce.
There will be no praise for KAM unless he lands a franchise QB soon.
