| Vikings roll dice on Patterson: The Vikings traded up to take Tennessee wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson with the 29th selection overall in the NFL draft. Patterson is considered to be among the most potential-laden receivers in the draft thanks to his big size (6-foot-2, 216 pounds) and speed (4.33 in the 40-yard dash. He came to the Volunteers in 2012 as one of the top junior college prospects in the nation after setting 13 program records during his time at Hutchinson Community College in Kansas. He proceeded to put together a first-team All-SEC coaches selection resume in 2012 after becoming the first NCAA player since 2008 to record a touchdown four different ways in the same since. Patterson set an SEC single-season record with a combined kickoff and punt return average of 27.6 yards, and set a Tennessee record with 1,858 all-purpose yards. Patterson caught 46 passes for 778 yards and five touchdowns on offense last year. (Updated 4/25/13) |

| Fantasy Analysis |
| In 1998 the Vikings took a chance on a receiver out of Marshall with big size and speed and he turned into a phenom for them. Now they're going to try again with Patterson. There is no doubt that he is a raw talent but the upside for him is very much Moss-like, though he's a little thicker than Moss but just as fast. Look for the Vikings to work hard with him on his route running and technique. The better news is that there isn't much talent in front of him on the Minnesota depth chart so the opportunities should roll in rather quickly. The risk-reward proposition of Patterson makes him worth a late pick in seasonal leagues, a mid- to late-round pick in dynasty/keeper leagues and a Top 20 pick in rookie-only drafts.
