Randy Moss To The Vikings

The Vikings have acquired Randy Moss and a 7th round pick from the Patriots for a 3rd round pick. Moss brings a big time threat for the Vikings and teams will have to commit to either stopping Moss or Peterson.

The loss of a 3rd round pick in a really good draft will hurt the Vikings slightly, but all they have to do is trade down in the draft to lessen the blow. We can do what we did in the 2010 draft. The Vikings also will get a draft pick or two with the Sage Rosenfels,and Darius Reynauld for a draft pick. I'm guessing a round 5 pick in 2010. The Vikings also acquired a late round draft pick in 2012 for Jayme Mitchell. I'm guessing it's between a 5th and 7th round pick.

The moss trade helps the Vikings in several ways. Moss will dictate a safety to help out the corner covering Moss. This will give Shiancoe one on one coverage with their other safety. It'll also move the safties back which will create huge holes for our running game. Harvin will only see one on one coverage and he'll see larger lanes to catch the ball. Once Rice comes back it'll really push the corners and safties back. The Vikings offense will be almost impossible to cover. The moss trade also improves our offensive line cause teams will be less likely to blitz. Farve will be upright more.
