Andrew Booth Jr. Drafted by Vikings: Minnesota's Updated Depth Chart After Round 2

As passing offenses continue to get better across the NFL, adding high-end talent in the secondary is more vital to success on defense than ever before.

The Minnesota Vikings believe they have found a shutdown cornerback after selecting Clemson star Andrew Booth Jr. with the No. 42 pick in the 2022 NFL draft.

Booth appeared in 25 games during his three-year college career. He was named to the All-ACC team in each of the past two seasons, including the first team as a junior in 2021.

Landing a cornerback of Booth's talent can completely transform the Vikings' entire secondary next season.
