Percy Harvin traded to Seattle for draft picks

[Midswat]

Very interesting....

‏@nfldraftupdate
#Vikings and #Seahawks have agreed to a trade that will see disgruntled WR Percy Harvin go to Seattle "for draft picks," reports

Wait, don't they have Sidney Rice too? Both played in Minnesota.

What is the over and under of how many games he will miss due to migraines next season in Seattle?

 

[Midswat]

Seattle gives Minnesota their first round selection.

Nice haul by Minny. Harvin is a talented headcase.

late first for a talented, but very troubled player...too many injuries/migraines/lockerroom issues with him

good when he is on the field, but IMO isnt worth the other issues you have to put up with

seems pretty steep for an injured wideout. But when he's on the field he's one of the biggest playmakers in the league. This draft sucks for skill positions so for a team like Seattle picking late in the first this is probably a good move.

 

[dbair1967]

wouldnt the Austin kid have been a good alternate/better risk?

 

[superpunk]

It's a 1 for 1 trade.

You know what you're getting from Harvin, I don't think there's any question the guy can play. So if you're just giving up one pick, in a year when you already know what the crop looks like, I think that's a great trade. I think the first is high but Harvin is a huge playmaker. You've improved your offense and special teams enormously at one time.

I'm betting that Minny signs Greg Jennings as his replacement.

Seattle: +Headcase +Migraines -GamesPlayedByWR -1stRoundPick
Vikings: +1stRoundPick +MoreConsistentWR -Headcase

I think we see how got hosed in this deal.

Wilson and Harvin in the same backfield is the stuff of nightmares for D coordinators. As SP noted, Harvin is a proven (if brittle) product, and this year's WR class ain't exactly scintillating.

He might not make it to their pick...

Seems like an overpay for Seattle unless they think they have the migraine issue solved, which I doubt they do.

Harvin trade details.

The Vikings will receive the Seahawks' first-round draft pick, No. 25 overall. According to Fox Sports' Jay Glazer, they will also get a 2013 seventh-round draft pick and a mid-round pick in 2014. That's a higher sum than many had predicted, but to me a first-round pick should have always been the minimum compensation required.

 

[superpunk]

wow and a 2014 mid rounder. They're giving away about what we gave up for Roy W. Could be a terrible trade for them if Harvin doesn't stay healthy.

To my knowledge, he's never played a full season.

3 picks for this guy?

Carroll wanted Harvin badly at USC. In fact, he was the subject of one of the accusations the NCAA made against USC (and Reggie Bush).
