Trade 1 of 2
Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings
Detroit turned a fifth- and seventh-round package into linebacker Tahir Whitehead and Travis Lewis, while Minnesota received Trevor Guyton plus a future fourth-rounder. Whitehead became the decisive piece, growing into a long-term Detroit starter and productive linebacker. Minnesota later used the future fourth as part of its 2013 move for Cordarrelle Patterson, which prevents this from being a lopsided loss, but Detroit realized the cleaner direct return.

Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots
Minnesota traded four selections to New England for pick No. 29 and selected Cordarrelle Patterson. Patterson became an elite return specialist immediately and earned multiple All-Pro honors, but he never developed into a consistent featured receiver during four Vikings seasons. New England used the premium picks on Jamie Collins and Logan Ryan, both major defensive contributors to championship teams, plus Josh Boyce and another late selection. The Patriots converted quantity into higher overall value.
Assets Received
Minnesota Vikings
- Pick 2013 1st round pick (29th overall, Cordarrelle Patterson)
New England Patriots
- Pick 2013 2nd round pick (52nd overall, Jamie Collins), 2013 3rd round pick (83rd overall, Logan Ryan), 2013 4th round pick (102nd overall, Josh Boyce) and 2013 7th round pick (229th overall subsequently traded, Everett Dawkins)
