39. Tommy Kramer
Drafted as the successor to Fran Tarkenton (no pressure!), Tommy Kramer would have a thirteen year run as the Vikings Quarterback.  Kramer would battle injuries throughout his career but “Two Minute Tommy” would battle it all and would have an excellent 1986 season where he would win the Comeback Player of the Year and lead the NFL in Passing Rating.
