Thank goodness we avoided Patterson, that was the only land mine I was really worried about. BPA DT and CB, very nice for the defense, now we just need a MLB and oh man!

I wondered if they go would go twice defensively, and they did it. Tomorrow could be just as big

Is Rhodes a Chris Cook clone?

How's that for helping Ponder?

I do like the pick, though. Nice big, physical corner, locates the ball, will develop nicely with the right coaching.

And our DBs get another shot in the arm. I like this pick, I hope Cole has been keeping in shape.

This is going great!...Lots of receivers left and we 'bout to have a BOSS defense.

Vikings selected Florida State CB Xavier Rhodes with the No. 25 overall pick.

Rhodes (6-foot-1 1/2, 210) is a physical, long-armed (33 3/4") press corner who ran 4.43 at the Combine with a tremendous 40.5-inch vertical and 11-foot broad jump. A 38-game starter for the 'Noles, Rhodes tallied eight career INTs and seven tackles for loss. Rhodes displays loose hips, quick feet, ample recovery speed, and standout ball skills on tape. Consistency and technique were sometimes issues, but Rhodes' overall game is reminiscent of Aqib Talib. The former receiver is very aggressive and could start opposite Josh Robinson or Chris Cook in 2013.

Seems as though the Vikings knew who they wanted after that Bears pick because the Colts did the same thing...
