Zulgad: Examining the Vikings’ 2022 draft class and the expectations for next season

With their rookie season behind them, @jzulgad examines their performance and what their expectations should be for next season

Kwesi Adofo-Mensah received criticism during his rookie year as an NFL general manager for not getting more from his first draft class.

The Vikings selected 10 players in the seven rounds, but only one, Ed Ingram, turned into a full-time starter and the right guard had plenty of rocky moments.

The good news for Adofo-Mensah is nobody is closing the book on this draft class and all ten of them remain on the roster. This week we are going to look at the nine remaining players, beginning in this column with the top five selections.

How do they fit into the 2023 plans and what should be the expectations for them?
