@Percy_Harvin Let's do work bra bra
AbsolutNET":17byl1wl said:Funny how some people would seem to rather have the "best value team" in the league than just the flat out best. We paid more than a #1 because he is a known quantity in the league, not a crapshoot rookie. We got a damn good player with the #1 pick at an area of need, and people complain about compensation. He will get paid and eat up some cap space, but WE GOT A DAMN GOOD PLAYER THAT COULD HELP US WIN THE SUPER BOWL. Just because it wasn't a blue light special doesn't mean it's a bad move. There's nothing wrong with paying market price now and then.
Here's an interesting way to look at the value of the draft picks that we gave up for Harvin.pinksheets":2vhwniid said:If you just took Percy away from the Vikes and threw him into the draft pool as he is, where do you think he goes in this draft?
Yeah, but it's not everyday you're in the middle of a phonecall with Jeff Ireland and he strokes out. Hard to use that trade as a measuring stick.Gunner":3t37r5p6 said:Just a quick hypothetical question, and please bare in mind I'm in love with this trade, I think it has the potential to be a great move, and it truly pushes us to another level.
With that being said, last season another player with known off the field issues was traded, so just want to throw this out there, would you rather have Harvin for what we have given up or Brandon Marshall for two 3rd rounders?

I am thinking the defense isn't getting big money FA's now, will be interesting to see how the DL plays out. They must have some faith in Scruggs to do this trade.
... First name Dangeruss last name Touchdown.

The Seahawks made that fundamental shift from defensive minded to offensive minded. First name Russell last name Touchdown.
Vikings now have 4 offensive plays:
AP to the left
AP in the middle
AP to the right
Ponder sack
Kirwan says "I knew this is the guy they were looking for, that's why I slotted Tavon to them in my most recent mock"

Filthy.

If we were getting a low first rounder, a throwaway seventh rounder, and a mid-rounder next year for losing a star wide receiver in his prime, would we be happy about it? I think not. I think this place would be meltdown city, followed by a rash of ankle injuries at local hospitals from all the folks bailing off the bandwagon.
This trade is better for Seattle than it is for Minnesota, folks.
