Jared Allen makes draft less critical
The huge trade that brought Kansas City DE Jared Allen to the Minnesota Vikings made losing that first and two third-round draft picks far less critical. If Allen can stay clean and model his Vikings career after Cris Carter, who also came to the team with substance abuse problems and turned his life and career around, then he could add that last missing element to Minnesota’s defense that makes the difference between 8-8 seasons and missing the playoffs, versus a playoff-bound team.
Fans of the Vikings will certainly now have a new weapon to enjoy when playing Madden 09 on their PS3; Allen led the NFL in sacks last season with 15.5, more than the Vikings’ entire defensive line accumulated last season.
