The Vikings signed seven draft choices Tuesday, leaving three -- including first-rounders Matt Kalil and Harrison Smith -- unsigned.
Wide receivers Jarius Wright and Greg Childs of Arkansas, both fourth-round picks, were among those signed. Also in the fold are fourth-rounder Rhett Ellison, a tight end from Southern California; fifth-rounder Robert Blanton, a defensive back from Notre Dame; sixth-rounder Blair Walsh, a kicker from Georgia; and seventh-rounders Audie Cole, a linebacker from North Carolina State, and Trevor Guyton, a defensive tackle from California.
In addition to Kalil (offensive tackle, Southern Cal) and Smith (safety, Notre Dame), the Vikings have yet to reach agreements with second-round choice Josh Robinson, a cornerback out of Central Florid.
