The Vikings are down to one unsigned pick. And when you start with 15, that’s saying something.
Per a tweet from his agents, Vikings seventh-rounder Kenny Willekes has signed his four-year rookie deal.
The defensive end from Michigan State, a former walk-on, was chosen 225th overall.
That leaves just first-round cornerback Jeff Gladney without a deal, and the Vikings approaching 19 percent of a camp roster tied up in draft picks.

Wonder what it feels like to get a $5.5 million signing bonus? On top of your $2 million salary for year one? Its heady stuff for kids that came from nothing. Its life changing but it also sets up your family for life if done right, just this first year money.

Too many stories over the years of these guys going broke by 35.

I'd like to believe kids are smarter today and listening to their agents and financial planners more than yesteryear.

ESPN did one of their specials called "Broke" several years ago about that.  Apparently the best thing you can do to keep your money is immediately disown your entire family before they rob you blind :p
