After giving fans a near heart attack, the Minnesota Vikings traded up in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft on Friday to select Clemson cornerback Andrew Booth Jr.
General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah traded out of the No. 34 spot earlier in the round to get an additional second-round pick from the Green Bay Packers, who moved up on the board to draft receiver Christian Watson.
Even after making that move, the Vikings still get their man at No. 42 after sending the No. 53, 77 and 192 picks to the Indianapolis Colts. So once again, things end up working out for the Vikings after a head-scratcher trade with a division rival.
