    With the 29th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Vikings select Tennessee WR Cordarrelle Patterson. He may be considered raw with his ability to handle physical coverage, but Patterson is one of the more naturally talented pass catchers to come along in the last few years. He only has one year of tape against FBS level of competition, but from the first game Patterson showed his versatility by making plays from a variety of alignments. If the Vol can start using his hands to release off the line and tighten up some technique issues, he should be one of this class' top playmakers.

    Dont forget Rudolf either.

    I am beyond excited for next season. I still cant believe we got 3 players that can come in and start in positions of need and make an impact.

    I think the trade was worth it, we still have a 4,5,6, and 7.
    essentially we traded our 3rd and an extra 4th to move up an entire round. I am ok with this since I think Patterson is a guy with huge potential
