At WORST, it's a dead-even swap. Filling a hole at arguably the most important offensive position, while creating a hole at DE.
At best, it's an absolute landslide in our favor, as we've filled THREE holes while only creating one.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
For what Jared Allen was asking for in terms of compensation, and accounting for what he actually provides on the field, I'll trade him for a franchise LT straight up every day of the week and not blink. Charles and Morgan are just icing on the cake.

The real problem here is the wrong player got the big payday.
The money should've gone to Allen not Johnson.
Same scenario as Edwards/Warfield. The wrong player got the big contract.
I have been very satisfied with Albert thus far, but we really haven't gained anything by improving the Offensive Line while handicapping the Defensive Line. We just created a problem for the Defensive Line. A problem that will see this defense being the most futile at getting to the QB in league history.
