Zulgad: Examining the future for the Vikings’ final five picks in the 2022 draft

With their rookie season over, @jzulgad examines the performance of the final 5 picks and what their expectations should be for next season

In the first part of this series, we examined the top five picks in Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s first draft as the Vikings’ general manager.

Adofo-Mensah received criticism for not getting more from that class of 10 players selected over seven rounds. Safety Lewis Cine (first round), cornerbacks Andrew Booth Jr. (second round) and Akayleb Evans (fourth round) all had injuries that ended their seasons.

Right guard Ed Ingram (second round) and linebacker Brian Asamoah (third round) struggled in a starting role and saw a surprising lack of playing time, respectively.
