Vikings sign WR Bryan Walters, CB Chris Carr

On Monday, the Vikings added depth to the WR position by signing ex-Chargers WR Bryan Walters. Walters was undrafted in 2010 and debuted for the Chargers in 2011. Walters is 6'0", 190 lbs. He has 3 receptions for a total of 27 yards in his career, long being 13 yards. While he adds depth, he isn't the deep threat that the Vikings are in dire need of. Alshon Jeffrey remains the 2nd round pick in my mock draft to fulfill this need of the Vikings.

Yesterday the Vikings signed ex-Ravens CB Chris Carr. He was signed to a 1 year contract, similar to many other free agent signings. Carr was undrafted in 2005 and debuted for the Raiders that year. He spent 3 seasons with Raiders before spending 1 with the titans and then on to Baltimore for another 3 seasons. He will be entering his 8th season with the Vikings. He is listed at 5'10" and 180 lbs. He has a career 210 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 6 interceptions and 7 forced fumbles. Carr had his best career in 2010 but slid down the roster in 2011. Carr has also served as a KR/PR and could ease those duties off of Harvin, again allowing him to focus on his role as a play maker on offense.
