Let’s get Freaky.

Remember when the Vikings selected Daunte Culpepper with the 11th pick in the 1999 NFL draft? They could have and probably should have taken Jevon Kearse with that pick.

Now Kearse is a free-agent able to sign with any team – the Vikings have a weakness at defensive end. Even if it will cost more than they want to spend, we think they need to give the “Freak” a deal and get him in a Vikings uniform.

By the way, the Vikings also had the 29th pick in the first round that year and they selected Dimitrius Underwood at defensive end. Patrick Kerney went to the Falcons on the very next pick at #30 overall. Denny Green didn’t have a clue when it came to defensive lineman, did he?

We are really pleased with what the Vikings have done so far. We like the Madieu Williams signing to help beef up the secondary and we LOVE what Bernard Berrian can bring to the offense. Not real sure why you would let Tony Richardson leave in free agency only to bring in Thomas Tapeh in his spot, but whatever. So far so good for The Purple.
