Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Minnesota sent pick No. 121 to Denver for selections Nos. 176 and 233 plus a 2008 third-round choice that became No. 73. The Vikings' two 2007 selections produced little direct value, but the future third later became part of the package used to acquire Jared Allen. Denver used No. 121 on Marcus Thomas, who played five seasons and started 34 games for the Broncos.
Trade 2 of 2
Minnesota paid a first-round pick, two third-rounders, and a sixth-rounder for Jared Allen plus a future sixth, then received six seasons of elite edge production. Allen recorded 85.5 sacks as a Viking, including 22 in 2011, and became the centerpiece of a contending defense. The acquisition cost was enormous, but Minnesota bought a star in his prime and got star-level performance for the full competitive window it was targeting.
