Michael Jurgens and Levi Drake Rodriguez are the Vikings' two seventh-rounders.
The Vikings selected Wake Forest center Michael Jurgens and Texas A&M-Commerce defensive tackle Levi Drake Rodriguez with their two seventh-round picks in the 2024 NFL Draft. After taking an offensive tackle and a kicker in the sixth round, the Vikings added to their interior offensive line and their interior defensive line to wrap up their draft class.
Jurgens is a 6'4", 311-pound OL who started 34 games at center during his time at Wake. He was a three-time team captain in college. Jurgens has some guard flexibility, but he's primarily a center. In Minnesota, he'll compete to make the team as Garrett Bradbury's backup in the middle of the offensive line.
Rodriguez began his college career at Southwestern Assemblies of God University, an NAIA school in Waxahachie, Texas. He then transferred to TAMU-C, who plays in the Southland Conference at the D1 FCS level. Last year, Rodriguez had 5.5 sacks and 7.5 total TFL, earning all-conference honors. He's a 6'2", 300-pound DT who plays three-technique and has some quickness and violence to his game.
