As for trading Henry-Their are as many rumors that they could trade McGahee as their are for trading Henry. It's all speculation, if it happens they will get a 1st rounder for him. Look at them trading Peerless, they got a first rounder for him, and Henry has more more talent in his pinkie than Peerless has in his entire body. You talk about drafting wisely and making good moves, well than let's talk about your Vikes. They draft Udeze, who is reported to have a messed up shoulder, if you don't believe it, than why did a projected top 10 pick drop to 20? You knock Buffalo for drafting McGahee when it looks like Minnesoto did the same exact thing. The Vikes way overpaid for Antwain Winfield, i should know, i watched him play since his first game. The only thing he's got going for him is he's a good tackler. But you know what that means-He allows his receiver to catch the ball then makes the tackle. Look how many interceptions he had, not many. We can go all day on who made a good move and who didn't, but the bottom line is, no one can know what draft picks are going to pan out or if your teams make the right free-agent pickup. Like Chris Berman says "that's why they play the game".

Peerless Price was the only WR on the Falcons, and Vick was hurt all season. Last season meant nothing. How come Bills fans are bitter about anyone who left their team?
Henry will not bring a 1st-rounder, because he is injury-prone, and he can't hold onto the ball. 2nd rounder at best, and why draft and then trade McGahee? Especially if he doesn't pan out?
You don't draft just to trade. Draft for need, seriously.
Udeze was a top 10 talent who has "questions" about his shoulder. They were answered first by DOCTORS who cleared him, but also by a VERY GOOD bench press proving that his shoulder is NOT serious. He can play, and his talent is not in his strength (which he has a lot of) but his speed on the corner, his technique, his mind, his hands. He is the total package, he will play, he will compete, he will contribute and he will do well. He is not a project. But remember WILL SMITH was the top DE taken, and that was at 18 -- which is one above where the Vikings would have taken Udeze. Wilfork fell below that and he had no shoulder issues. The shoulder thing is bullshit. They got him at 20! They drafted for need, for the future, and got the best player available. Think about this: There were what, 7 WRs taken in the first round? Most teams drafted horribly by reaching for receivers. The Vikings didn't do that, so they got the best player available. The Vikings drafted well and the Bills did not. Deal with it.
Antoine Winfield WHEN HIS CONTRACT IS AT ITS HIGHEST, in six years, will count for 2.8 million dollars against the cap. UNDER THREE MILLION and he was the top free agent available. We didn't overpay for shit. We paid more for Denard Walker who was a nickelback talent at best. Some teams have great personnell directors, and the Vikings are one of those teams. The Vikings have like 15 mil cap room left, and that's after Winfield counted for like 11 million of it. They will not regret signing Winfield -- they have had shitty D-backs for years, he can only be an improvement.
Interceptions? He played man-to-man his entire career. When you're a shutdown corner you don't get interceptions. Interceptions come from players who play off and get burned. Winfield never gets burned, so he never gets interceptions. All he does is shuts down half of the field. THAT IS ALL.
