The Vikings had two picks in the sixth round, and used them on center John Sullivan from Notre Dame, and wide receiver Jaymar Johnson from Jackson State.
Here’s what ESPN’s Draft Tracker had to say about Sullivan:
Sullivan didn’t play in his first year at Notre Dame (2003). He became a starter in 2004 and didn’t miss [...]

The Vikings lost Spencer Johnson this off-season, leaving them somewhat thin at defensive tackle. They were expected to address this situation in the draft, and indeed they have, selecting Florida State’s Letroy Guion in the 5th round.
Since I’ve never heard of this guy and know nothing about him, I shall defer to the ESPN Draft [...]

We can now all look forward to years of lame booty jokes…because the Vikings have drafted USC QB John David Booty.

From the Minneapolis Star-Tribune:

I never thought there was any realistic chance of beastly Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen getting traded to the Vikings, especially after they slapped the franchise tag on him.
Now, however, it looks like a foregone conclusion that Allen will be traded by the Chiefs. And yes, the Vikings are one of two teams [...]

Former Vikings great Carl Eller did his best impression of a current Viking early Wednesday morning, getting arrested for fleeing police, assault and refusing a breath test.
From the St. Paul Pioneer-Press:
Around 1 a.m., police pulled Eller over near 8th and Russell avenues north in Minneapolis. Eller refused to consent to a breath test after he [...]

The game will be played at Lambeau Field at 6 p.m. September 8. It will mark the beginning of the Aaron Rodgers era in Green Bay…assuming Brett Favre hasn’t returned from [...]
