With the No. 235 pick, the Vikings drafted Cincinnati center Gavin Gerhardt. Addressing a significant need with their final pick of the draft. Here's their full output for the weekend:
The Vikings are taking Stephen F. Austin CB Charles Demmings at No. 163. Explosive player, really physical. Most likely will work on the boundary and will add more man coverage ability to this defense.
The Vikings are taking Michigan TE Max Bredeson at No. 159. He's 6-foot-1, 248 pounds. H-back type. Definitely a mover-type creative piece that will play a role in the run-blocking phase.
The Vikings are taking Miami S Jakobe Thomas at No. 98. Was part of transforming the Hurricanes' defense under former Gophers DC Corey Heatherman. Had five picks and plays aggressive.
The Vikings are taking Northwestern T Caleb Tiernan at No. 97. He's massive, 6-foot-7 and 320 pounds. Really sharp, relies on technique. Depth on the OL, some versatility with swing tackle-guard flex.
