He asked former Vikings linebacker and current radio network sideline reporter, Ben Leber if he thinks the Vikings could move up into the top five to get their QB of choice.<\/p>\n<p>Leber said,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI don\u2019t think so. I don\u2019t think so, man. You could, but they\u2019re going to hold you over the fire and say, OK well we want X, Y, and Z. And if it comes to existing player equity, we don\u2019t really have it. So you can\u2019t really trade players, so you\u2019re trading future picks. You might be one quarterback away from making a little run in the playoffs, but I don\u2019t think anybody believes that this roster, as it is right now, is a Super Bowl-contending team.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Allen also highlighted \u201chow hard\u201d the Vikings front office, led by general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, can \u201cpreach analytics\u201d if they bring Cousins back after a serious injury.<\/p>\n<p>Allen said on the show,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI just can\u2019t imagine the analytics add up to a 36-year-old off an Achilles injury, at fat cash.
