The Minnesota Vikings didn't just mess things up for themselves in the 2022 NFL Draft. They committed a cardinal sin that affects all four teams in the NFC North, writes BryanPerezNFL. *insert side eye from Lions, Packers, Bears* FrontOffice33 | Skol
Armed with the 12th pick in the first round, the Vikings were a good bet to land Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton with their premium selection. But that’s not how things worked out, and the NFC North will pay for it.
The Vikings’ decision to swap picks with the Lions was bizarre for a couple of reasons. First, and most obvious, is the whole in-division thing. It’s taboo for a team to trade within its own conference, let alone the same division. But, hey, trust the numbers, right? The Vikings used their first-round pick – No. 32 – on Georgia safety Lewis Cine and kept trading down in the second round until eventually selecting Clemson cornerback Andrew Booth Jr., LSU guard Ed Ingram and Oklahoma linebacker Brian Asamoah in the third.The Lions, meanwhile, flipped the trade into an elite offensive weapon. Williams will come back to haunt Minnesota’s front office two times per year and remind rookie General ManagerSadly, we aren’t finished.
Two trades in the NFC North. Two trades that resulted in rival offenses adding explosive downfield playmakers. The Vikings expedited Detroit’s rebuild and they gave Rodgers a sportscar on a rookie contract.The poor Chicago Bears, a team that’s already behind the proverbial eight-ball on offense. They didn’t deserve this.
