Round 7: Tulsa DE Trevis Gipson

With Minnesota’s second pick in the seventh round, I went back to a position that might lack depth. Defensive end Everson Griffen voided his contract with the Vikings and will enter free agency. It seems very possible they could get Griffen back, but even if they do, it doesn’t hurt to have a player like Gipson. He dominated opposing offensive lines at Tulsa, and could be a decent reserve.
