Eric Edholm's Commentary
Low-key one of our favorite picks of Round 1. Trading down felt like the play for the Vikings at 12, but we had no idea they’d be able to go this far down and get a top-20 talent in Cine. He’ll pair with Harrison Smith as one of the best safety duos in the NFL. Outstanding first selection for Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. Cine will start for a decade.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
The Colts were slated to make their first 2022 pick, but the trade-down Vikings and new GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah just swung back up here to trade a few spots ahead of the Browns, his former team. Booth could easily have gone in the first round, possessing above-average skills (or better) in most areas and the potential to be a rookie starter. Well done by the first-year GM.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
The bull-strong Ingram has been a fixture for LSU since 2017, believe it or not, developing into a very good college guard even while the team fell far following the national title season. He was suspended in 2018 and had to answer character questions in the pre-draft process but has the makeup to become a solid NFL starter. He's more powerful than most of the Vikings' current linemen.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Like with their first-round pick, the Vikings took an athletic prospect well worth his draft position. Asamoah's lack of size makes him a tricky fit in every system, but his speed and tackling ability make him an ideal "Will" linebacker.
