Vikings selected California ILB Devante Downs with the No. 225 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft.
One of the more notable Combine snubs, Downs (6'3/245) garnered PFF's highest pass-rushing grade among Pac 12 inside linebackers last season. He totaled 211 tackles over 39 career appearances for the Bruins including 65 as a senior in 2017. Downs will probably have to settle for special teams work in year one.

Wish we would have taken Bo Scarborugh RB Alabama running back in the 7th.

Sounds like a development guy.
Which is what 7th rounder should be
I thought day 3 was not bad.
Day one and two .. not so much
