    <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">Nice to hear something positive instead of the usual "Hater" comments on the Vikings Jared Allen trade</span><span style="color:#483D8B">[/color]

    <span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%">The Jags roll the dice with Harvey. </span></span>

    <span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:100%">When the Minnesota Vikings gave up a first-round pick and two third-rounders (and swapped sixth-rounders with KC) to get one of the best defensive players in the game from the Chiefs, the media went loco talking about the risk the Vikes had taken.

    When the Jaguars gave up a first-round pick, two third-round picks and a fourth-round pick to get an unproven rookie who plays the same position, the reaction wasn't nearly as extreme.

    Although Derrick Harvey might eventually be as good as Jared Allen, the Vikings definitely got the player who already has reached that level. If the Vikings are right about Allen having exorcised his off-field demons, the Jags are the ones who took the real risk.</span>

    Fair points, but the guy the Jags invested in has never been suspended for drug violations and isnt going to get $70 million
