Vikings released CB Akayleb Evans.
Just more dirt piled on to that atrocious 2022 draft class. (Evans was a 4th) I could completely review that now (would be a F) and we're not even 3 full years in yet. And it all started with that horrible trade down.

They made an odd trade down in terms of value that draft. Went for volume of 4 picks over just using their first and second. Sent picks 12 and 46 to Det for 32/34/66. Then swapped 34 for 53 and 59. Jumped back up from 53 to 42.
Took S Cline at 32. CB Booth at 42. OG Engram at 59. LB Asamoah at 66.
Could have stayed at 12 to take S Hamilton. Between picks 43 to 46 were WR/WR/OLB/DE. So, still a chance they could have taken CB Booth there.
So, they basically ended up adding OG Engram and LB Asamoah as the price to drop from the #1 S in Hamilton to take Cline instead.
One of those moves where quantity doesn't net out the quality.
