Wonderful. As I pointed out yesterday, there are 10 tight ends that I can name off the top of my head that are better than Rudolph, and probably another 5-10 that you could make a case for.

you mean who you think are better, not saying that i dont agree with some of your list but i disagree, although i also think a few of the guys who named are better there were some names on there that i thought were not even close to being enough better to not have an argument about it

So, in your opinion, does that warrant him being selected to this roster over Gronkowski and Pitta?

Again, with the overrating of ND prospects. Off the top of my head, here are OTs that are better than Young.
Russell Okung
Anthony Davis
Bryan Bulaga
Trent Williams
Ciron Black
Adam Ulatowski
Charles Brown
Zane Beadles
Gabe Carimi
I'm sure there at least 5-10 other tackles better than Young. So, no, he's not "quite close".

No, as in, they ARE better. They all out-produced Rudolph last year, and I'd say nearly all of them are better blockers.

Look, this is going nowhere. I like Rudolph. Really, I do. I think he was the best freshman TE last year and showed improvements in his run blocking. However, to say that he's a top 5 or even a top 10 TE at the moment is beyond ludicrous.

He's got this other guy on Florida to worry about... some defensive lineman named after a golf ball or whatever.
He's alright.

You only voted for one OT. You can add Bulaga to your ballot if you want but you better do it quick. Okung is almost at 10 votes.

Surprised that Sergio Render is getting so many votes. He's not that good at all. I've seen him get beat too many times. Anyways...
