Running backs dominated the top of the tenth round, as four premium backups are selected in order. Chris Ivory will get plenty of chances behind the not-very-good Chris Johnson, while Jonathan Stewart is a healthy season away from being the steal of any fantasy draft this summer.
Sean's selection of Kyle Rudolph stands out as a good deal to me, as the now Norv Turner-coached tight end usually goes two to three rounds earlier. Rudolph's upside far exceeds a late 10th-round pick, and if he doesn't pan out, this late of a pick isn't too rich of an investment to bail out from and pick up a rising star at the position from the waiver wire.
My pick: Khiry Robinson, New Orleans Saints, RB - Setting aside training camp reports of Mark Ingram's "improvements," I took the backup running back on the second-best offense in the NFL last season. Robinson isn't a special athlete, but he's earned the trust of Sean Payton after working his way up the depth chart from undrafted beginnings, and figures to get his fair share of touches for the Saints this season.
