The reasons behind the Minnesota Vikings' firing of general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah are wide-ranging, depending on what you read, but it really boiled down to one thing. Few teams in the league got less contribution from players out of their last four drafts, which then forced spending in free agency to fill those voids.
One season, in left guard Donovan Jackson, last year's first-round pick for the Vikings, looks like a rare hit on Adofo-Mensah's draft resume. He started 14 games as a rookie, missing three due to an injury, with a top-30 pass blocking grade among guards from PFF.
