The Minnesota Vikings selected UCLA MLB Eric Kendricks in round 2 (number 45 overall) of the NFL Draft today. I'm a big fan of this pick, Kendricks is a tackling machine, he won the 2014 Butkus Award as the best Linebacker in college football. The only concern with him is that he's a bit undersized. I can deal with that though, Ed McDaniel wasn't huge either and he was a pretty good MLB, he also fills a big need. Great instincts, he flies across the field, he will be a great fit in a Mike Zimmer defense. It'll be fun watching him line up with fellow Bruin Anthony Barr at LB too.
In round 3 (number 88 overall), the Vikings selected LSU DE Danielle Hunter. This guy reminds me a lot of Michael Johnson, he's a physical specimen. He's very young too, had he stayed in school he probably would have been selected much higher next year. Lots of upside to him.
