With the #43 pick by the Minnesota Vikings, Kyle Rudolph of Notre Dame was selected. When I saw it on my phone, I was a bit suprised. Rudolph plays tight end. We already have a solid tight end right now. However, I realized we went for value with this pick. Rudolph is a big guy, 6'6 apparently and has a ceiling of Jason Witten or Todd Heap according to scouts. He was considered a 1st round player but slipped to the Vikes in the 2nd round. I think this kid could be a great target for Ponder in the future and with Visanthe Shiancoe around for at least 1 more year, we could use 2 tight end formations more often. Welcome aboard Kyle!
