Las Vegas Raiders and Minnesota Vikings

Las Vegas Raiders Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Minnesota sent Randy Moss to the Raiders for Napoleon Harris, the 2005 first-round pick that became Troy Williamson, and a seventh-round pick. The Vikings moved a 28-year-old Hall of Fame receiver and failed to turn the return into anything close to star value. Even with Moss producing only a brief Raiders peak before later reviving his career elsewhere, Oakland received the only elite asset in the trade.

Assets Received

Minnesota Vikings
  • Pick Napoleon Harris, 2005 1st round pick (7th overall, Troy Williamson) and 2005 7th round pick (219th overall, Adrian Ward)
Las Vegas Raiders
  • Player Randy Moss

Team Grades

Trade Analysis

The Vikings needed the draft return to offset the loss of Randy Moss, but Troy Williamson never became a true replacement and the rest of the package did not close the value gap. The Raiders did not maximize Moss for long, but they still acquired the best player in the deal by a massive margin. Minnesota's return collapsed, making this a Raiders win in hindsight.
