This 6-foot 6-327-pound monster came out of left field for a lot of fans since the team had bigger holes elsewhere on the roster. They still got 8 picks left in the draft, including 3 set for rounds 2 and 3 tonight, that gives them plenty of shots to build out the squad, without rushing things. Folks are buzzing because Minnesota needs help at running back, why receiver, center, linebacker, cornerback, and safety. Banks adds beef up front, but yeah, those spots scream for attention too. Depth looks solid in those areas, so the Vikings can snag quality starters later, without reaching. Officials say they're just hunting the best fits as the board shakes out. Rounds 2 and 3 kickoff Friday at 6 p.m. Central or 7 p.m. Eastern,
