... it was a monumentally bad draft.
Not only are the two first-round picks they had that year - receiver Troy Williamson and defensive end Erasmus James - now gone. But there is only one player left from the entire draft. And he's not even a starter.
The Vikings aren't alone in missing big in that draft. It's the year that quarterback Alex Smith of the 49ers, running back Cedric Benson of the Bears, and wide receiver Mike Williams of the Lions came into the league.
All of them are barely hanging on.
