Seattle sends this years first round pick and a 7th rounder as well as a mid-round pick next year for Harvin. Win-win for both teams

I'm content with this compensation for Harvin.
I did expect true value for Harvin would be a 1st +

Tho I can't say that I'm happy.
Happy would have entailed Harvin staying in MIN.

Thoughts thus far on the deal, love it.

Getting a 1st for Harvin this year is great, gives us a lot of flexibility, a 7th who cares, could end up being good, probably not only about 3 are per every 7th round. But mid round pick I read as 3rd or 4th, which is nice value and could end up being starter.

I knew Rick wouldn't dump him for a second round pick. Rick got a steal in my opinion.

Great trade for both teams. Spielman loves future picks.

With the extra first... do we go after Victor Cruz?

Heck of a trade. Spielman should see if they wanna swap back-up QB's now. Smile

Fun fact: Vikings get more in return than for Randy in 2005. I didnt see that coming. Nice job Mr. Spielman.

You gotta hand it to Spielman on this one. He has a knack for creating markets for things that may or may not exist.

This and the 3rd overall pick last year have me impressed.

Now we just have to hit on the picks we get, and with last year's class, I have faith we can.

Sorry to see you go Percy, at least you are going to a team where I am also a pretty big fan

It won't happen, but I hope we trade out of the 1st round this year for a shot at going into 2014 with 3 or 4 picks in the 1st round... long shot, but it's what I want. This draft just doesn't do it for me in the 1st round

Yeah I can't see Spielman keeping both first round picks. He will try and trade back grabbing another 3rd round pick.
