Thanks, Direckshun. You're pimping of Ortiz allowed for the guy that I had rated higher to possibly slip towards the Vikings. As we all know, the Vikes have a horrendous pass rush, and although Philip Merling is a nice start, he's not going to completely solidify that line in 3rd down situations. This is a guy, who with proper coaching, could be a very effective situational pass rusher. Had he played at a D-I school, he probably would have gone a round or two earlier.
With the 173rd pick in the NFL draft, the Minnesota Vikings select Brian Johnston, DE Gardner Webb
