Quite a few of you have heard by now that the Vikings are making a serious run at a trade for the Chiefs’ Jared Allen, a beast who led the NFL with 15.5 sacks last year but has also had his share of off-field troubles, including DUIs that led to a suspension (note: it was eventually two games, not four). The trade will likely cost a first-round pick and another high pick, according to Fox’s Jay Glazer. That brings up a quandary: what do you do if this trade goes through and you’ve already bought your tickets for the Vikings Draft Party? If there’s no first round pick to celebrate, will the masses be happy just to sit around drinking and looking at cheerleaders for five-plus hours? Wait, never mind.

In related news, by the way: The Vikings cheerleaders recently held a spokesmodel and swimsuit competition. Third-year veteran Melissa reports:

It consisted of an opening performance, on-stage interviews and personal introductions, a swimsuit competition, a dance routine and a brief dance solo. The following top eight candidates were announced and one of these candidates will be chosen at a later date as the 2008 MVC Calendar Cover Model.

#1 Krisandra
#3 Rachel
#14 Lindsey
#43 Ellie
#44 Lissa
#48 Jenna
#51 Peyton
#52 Nicole

The MVC Candidates will be at the NFL Draft Party at Winter Park on April 26th and will have Final Auditions at the Mall of America on April 29th before the 2008 team is selected. Come cheer and support your favorite candidates at both of these fun events!
