Vikings Draft Xavier Rhodes

The Vikings used their second number one draft pick of the 2013 NFL Draft on Florida State CB Xavier Rhodes yesterday.  After losing Antoine Winfield to the Seahawks I thought it was likely that they'd target a CB with one of those first round picks.  Rhodes, like Sharrif Floyd before him, fell right into the Vikings laps, most had projected him to be selected somewhere in the teens, to get him at 25 is nice value.  They also wanted to get a big CB so that they'd have a better match up with the likes of Calvin Johnson and Brandon Marshall and Rhodes fits the bill their too.  I like this pick too!  Keep them coming Vikes!
