Vikings' first-round draft in 2022 looks worse by the week in 2023

While it's still too soon to render final judgment on decisions the Vikings made in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft, things are looking worse and sometimes really worse with each passing week.

This came to mind — again — while watching replays of the Ravens-Colts and Bengals-Rams games from last week.

To recap last year's first round, Vikings General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah traded down from 12 to 32 and selected safety Lewis Cine. Cine has no career starts, only two snaps on defense and is the Vikings' No. 5 safety behind Theo Jackson, a sixth-round pick of the Titans last year.
