Minnesota Vikings 2022 NFL Draft Day 2 Live Blog: Updates, Pick Tracker, Analysis

The 2022 NFL Draft in Las Vegas is back for Day 2, which encompasses 73 picks over the second and third rounds. Things got off to a busy start for the Vikings last night, as they traded back from 12 to 32 and landed Georgia safety Lewis Cine, a heat-seeking missile who they think will become a star in their defense.

Now they've got another busy night, as they currently hold three of the top 45 picks tonight (Nos. 34, 66, and 77 overall). It wouldn't be surprising to see them make another trade or two tonight as well.

Just like last night, the draft can be viewed on ESPN, NFL Network, or ABC. Follow along right here for all of your Vikings-centric updates throughout the night. Below the live updates, you'll find some reading material and key details to know.

Live updates

9:49 p.m. — The Packers take an offensive lineman, Sean Rhyan from UCLA, at 92.

9:36 p.m. — Malik Willis goes to the Titans at 86. A couple long slides for players discussed as possible first-round picks come to an end.

9:30 p.m. — Nakobe Dean's slide ends with the Eagles taking him at 83.

8:56 p.m. — Finally, another quarterback. Desmond Ridder goes to the Falcons at 74. The Vikings are not scheduled to pick again tonight.

8:40 p.m. — Apparently, Nakobe Dean's slide is due to a medical issue. He declined shoulder surgery and it's seen as a major concern.

8:32 p.m. — The Vikings' pick at 66 is Oklahoma linebacker Brian Asamoah. This fall from Nakobe Dean is stunning.

8:24 p.m. — James Cook (Dalvin's brother) goes to the Bills at 63, and Oklahoma edge rusher Nik Bonitto is the final pick of the second round. Onto the third!

8:05 p.m. — The Vikings select LSU guard Ed Ingram at 59. That's an interesting one, as he was 101 on The Athletic's consensus board.

8:03 p.m. — Vikings on the clock at 59. Nakobe Dean is somehow on the board, but medicals are a question.

7:42 p.m. — More players off the board with the Vikings coming up soon at 59: CB Alontae Taylor, WR Tyquan Thornton, C Cam Jurgens, WR George Pickens, WR Alec Pierce, and WR Skyy Moore.

7:20 p.m. — The Bears just took another DB in Penn State safety Jaquan Brisker. Other players to go since the Vikings took booth: WR Wan'Dale Robinson, WR John Metchie III, EDGE David Ojabo, EDGE Josh Paschal, and DT Phidarian Mathis.

6:54 p.m. — The Vikings just traded up to 42 to take Clemson CB Andrew Booth Jr., which is great value if he stays healthy. They gave up 53, 77, and 192 for 42 and 122 in a deal with the Colts. Here's the story on Booth.

6:45 p.m. — Two more interesting picks: the Bears get CB Kyler Gordon at 39 and the Seahawks take Minnesota EDGE Boye Mafe at 40.

6:35 p.m. — Catching up on some picks since the Vikings' trade: CB Roger McCreary went to the Titans, RB Breece Hall to the Jets, S Jalen Pitre to the Texans, and EDGE Arnold Ebiketie to the Falcons.

6:17 p.m. — Another divisional trade for the Vikings. They sent pick 34 to the Packers for picks 53 and 59, and now hold four picks between 53 and 77. The Packers took NDSU WR Christian Watson with the pick. Here's the story on the Vikings' trade.

6:15 p.m. — The Buccaneers kick things off by taking Houston defensive lineman Logan Hall.
