Vikings signed Darren Sharper, so that solves the safety situation. However, I am still not a fan of this team. Yes that defense has improved, but Chavous and Sharper do not exactly have a lot of speed at safety (remember we're not talking about Darren Sharper of 5 years ago). Smoot is also inconsistent.
The bigger issue to me is the offense. Not having Randy Moss for the entire year is going to hurt more than people realize, and believing Plaxico Burress or some draft pick could fill the void is wishful thinking at best. Remember, Moss made quarterbacks like Randall Cunningham and Jeff George look fantastic. The running situation is also dicey. I think the Vikings are still a wild card team, but not a super bowl team.
