Minnesota’s draft gem: Exciting playmaker uncovered in…
Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s track record in the draft is mixed. He has had some hits, but overall, the return has not equaled the investment. That, of course, could change pretty quickly, as J.J. McCarthy and Dallas Turner possess enormous potential. In the upcoming draft cycle, the general manager only has three draft picks (at least one incoming compensatory pick is likely).

At 6-2, his first draft choice is scheduled to take place outside of the top 20, making a trade down to generate some extra draft picks less likely. The Vikings need some help at defensive tackle and cornerback, while head coach Kevin O’Connell could use an upgrade at guard or center, and he needs a new running back with Aaron Jones set to enter free agency. Even if he returns for a second season, he will turn 30 in December.
The next season will practically be his rookie season, and supporting young quarterbacks with talent is always crucial. In the Twin Cities, he already has some excellent weapons and a solid offensive line, but the one thing that’s missing is a running back.
Of the three runners currently under contract ‒ Aaron Jones, Cam Akers, and Ty Chandler ‒ only Chandler’s deal doesn’t expire after the 2024 campaign.
