Pina Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I dont see any interest from the boards in Kyle Rudolph, I havent paid much attention to this draft and would like to know why nobody seems to like the idea of drafting him. He seems like a complete blocking/recieving tight end and there is a possibility that he drops to our second round pick. Is it his injury history?? I havent done much research but I hear alot of Rob Gronkowski comparisons which I love. Please enlighten me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennesaw77 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 basically due to the injury. He tore a hammy which is a pretty bad injury. If he was healthy he would be a 1st rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rai Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 If he falls like Moore did due to injury, I'd love to take him in the 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzard_falcon Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) If he falls like Moore did due to injury, I'd love to take him in the 2nd.Oh, I would DEFINITELY take him if he fell to our 2nd round pick, but I have a feeling he'll go early in the SECOND ( :P )round. Denver, Buffalo, Minnesota, and St. Louis are all likely landing spots for him. Edited March 23, 2011 by virginiafalcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennesaw77 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I don't see him going in the 1st but I think he'll be one of the first 10 guys taken in the 2nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ny's Finest Falcon Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Oh, I would DEFINITELY take him if he fell to our 2nd round pick, but I have a feeling he'll go early in the 1st round. Denver, Buffalo, Minnesota, and St. Louis are all likely landing spots for him.Think he means early second. Personaly i like rudolph and wouldnt even mind trading up alil in the second to grab him if he fell. Heck with the way the draft may fall if there is no DE or OT worth the pick i would b fine selecting him at 27. Altho i would prefer to trade down alil than grab him but i think virginiafalcon is rite and the bills will take him with their early second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachx Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) TEs are easier to find then DEs. You always play with 2 DEs on the field.....you rarely play with 2 TEs on the field in comparison. Edited March 23, 2011 by coachx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant early 2nd, to one of those teams I mentioned. Hadn't had my morning coffee yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pina Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 thanks for the input guys, i wish we could get Kerrigan in the first, Rudolph in the second and Jernigan in the third, but I cant see any of them lasting at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snelling44 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Actually he was very hyped up here for awhile. His name hasn't been mentioned in any news lately so he's not popular right now. It happens a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheldon Cooper Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) how is he recovering from his injury? is he doing any of the pro day stuff? i dont remember hearing about him at the combine. juniors are not allowed to take part in it, or maybe i'm thinking of something else.i think everyone is right on target about rudolph. he is exactly like gronkowski in that both are considered the top TE in their class despite a very serious injury. rudolph may slip to the first few teams in round two, but they will be very lucky like the patriots who were rewarded 10 touch downs.

Rai Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 He's injured, didn't participate at the combine but he's hopeful to perform at his pro day, 7th of April. Also, Jermaine Gresham was rated higher than Rob Gronkowski last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
