Kwesi Adofo-Mensah is gearing up for his second offseason as the Vikings’ general manager. Here are the worst decisions he made in year one.

Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s first season as the Vikings general manager was definitely successful. He hired head coach Kevin O’Connell who came in and led the team to a 13-4 regular season record that secured the team the NFC North Championship.

He also swung a midseason trade that landed the team tight end TJ Hockenson, who had a huge, positive impact on the Vikings’ offense, and looks to be the long-term answer at the position.

Kwesi also flipped the culture of the Vikings, making it a team and environment players want to be a part of and actually enjoy playing for. Those were all huge successes for Adofo-Mensah and things he can continue to build off of in the future.

While his overall first season was a major success, there were some moves he made that didn’t pan out. Here are his four worst decisions during his first season as the general manager of the Minnesota Vikings.
