Since taking over as the Vikings GM, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah hasn’t been afraid of pulling off controversial moves.
He has orchestrated a whopping 16 trades, sometimes to the chagrin of Vikings fans and analysts. He has picked players too high in the draft, at least according to many draft nerds. He has defied expectations by inking overlooked free agents to major deals — hello, Josh Oliver — an indication that he’s very comfortable in his own skin. Yes, the GM doesn’t need internet GMs to approve of his decision making; he’s quite content to follow through on his personal convictions, thank you very much.
