History

Historical Context

After tagging Jared Allen in February 2008, the Kansas City Chiefs traded the Pro Bowl defensive end to the Minnesota Vikings on April 22 for Minnesota’s 2008 first-round pick (#17) and two third-round selections. Allen had led the league with 14.5 sacks in 2007, and the Chiefs used the acquired picks to draft defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey at #5, reshaping both rosters.
