Love to see us add a Wolfpack alum but I think its a long shot.

Not sure why the practice squad would be a longshot at all.  He plays a position sucking wind for young depth and upside and clearly appears to have something worth taking a chance on, tangibly and intangibly.

I reeeeeeeally hope we sign him. I've seen a lot of Tocho as a Wolfpack fan, but as a draftnik as well, he was a guy I was hoping we would take in the draft. Kinda confused as to how he fell to the 7th round, but it is what it is. 

A converted CB, Tocho's home in the NFL always seemed to be at SAF. The kid is an instinctual DB with a high football IQ and good measurables. He is a sound tackler and versatile enough to support the run and get physical in the box. He uses his body well and rarely let the player/ball get behind him. 

He reminds me a bit of Aaron Williams of the Bills, so if we have a spot on our PS, I'd love to bring him a long. Give him a year or two under someone like Wilks and a mentor like Coleman and Adams, and I think we could have a future SAF in the fold. 

However, like Mr.Scot said...... let's not get ahead of ourselves. There must be a reason why a late-round rookie is on the waiver wire.... especially a team that values defense like the Vikings do.

They've invested heavily in their DB corps and I think he just got squeezed out as I was thinking/hoping he would.  He shut down Zay Jones and had a great pick in coverage against him.  I was also impressed with the TFL against Dalvin Cook seen in the highlights.  I too hope we sign him to the PS.  Charlotte's own to boot!  No brainer.
