Vikings signed fourth-round WRs Jarius Wright and Greg Childs and sixth-round K Blair Walsh.
The Vikings have talked about using Wright both inside and outside, though he profiles as a slot receiver long term. Childs, a high school and college teammate of Wright, has proclaimed himself the "steal of the draft" after struggling through a patella tendon injury as a senior. Despite a booming leg, Walsh missed 14 of 35 field goal attempts at Georgia in 2011.

Vikings fourth-round WR Jarius Wright (head) returned to practice on Saturday.
Wright bumped his head in the team's first rookie camp session on Friday and was seen throwing up on the sideline. After sitting out Friday's afternoon session, he "was back on the field and looked good" on Saturday. Unless Percy Harvin misses time with an injury, the 5'9/182 Wright isn't expected to see a significant number of offensive snaps during his rookie season.
