Your saying they bring in younger players. Yes they do, through free agency.Do they have players that they drafted start? Of course they do. Every team does, otherwise the draft wouldn't be what it is today but for the most part Minnesota has gone for the quick fix.Look at the defense alone.DE's Edwards and AllenDT Williams and WilliamsLB Leber, Henderson, and GreenwayCB Winfield and GriffinS Williams and Sharper6 of the 11 projected starters are free agent pick ups.It's hard to project offensive starters because a lot of teams use two backs and 2 tight ends and 3 or 4 receivers and looking at the Vikings they've brought in their fair share of free agents on that side of the ball as well. Bobby Wade, Benard Berrien, Chester Taylor, Artis Hicks, Steve Hutchinson, Visanthe Shiancoe, and Thomas Tapeh are all pick ups I believe via free agency.That's a lot of players on both sides of the ball.I'm not saying the Vikings don't draft well as 2007 class would easily suggest they do draft well. I'm saying they've built their team or key components of their team relying more on free agency. We'll see if it works for them. The 94 49ers basically bought a Super Bowl so it's not impossible but then again they had Steve Young and Jerry Rice.</blockquote>
