Over the course of his time as General Manager of the Minnesota Vikings, Rick Spielman has shown an ability to find talent in the later rounds of the draft that make immediate contributions to the team. The folks from Pro Football Focus have tabbed one of the team’s Day 3 picks as someone that is in a highly favorable situation, and someone that could potentially even start right away.
That player is defensive tackle James Lynch, who the Vikings selected with one of their fourth round picks two months ago. PFF thinks that the big man from Baylor has an opportunity to contribute immediately.
