The Facts:
With the 43rd pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Vikings select Notre Dame's Rudolph.  Reported by FootballDiehards.com

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Not an immediate position of need, but giving Rudolph time to develop isn't a bad thing. According to his NFL.com scouting report, Rudolph missed the final seven games of 2010 after undergoing hamstring surgery, but he has the potential to develop into a weapon in the passing game at the next level. He is fast and has the hip fluidity to separate in and out of his breaks in man coverage. He has tremendous hands and shows a knack for coming down with the ball in traffic. He lacks the strength and bulk to be an effective run blocker, but he works hard to sustain and keeps solid position. Rudolph is a very good receiving tight end and could be a steal in the second round.
