Minnesota Vikings Win
Seattle sent a first-round pick (#25, Xavier Rhodes), a 7th-rounder, and a 2014 3rd-round pick (#96, Jerick McKinnon) to Minnesota for WR Percy Harvin. Harvin produced an iconic Super Bowl XLVIII kickoff-return touchdown but played only six regular-season games for Seattle before injuries and locker-room issues led to a 2014 trade to the Jets. The Harvin trade shows the danger of paying premium assets for a player whose downside was injury and volatility. Harvin's Super Bowl kickoff return is legendary, but Minnesota received Xavier Rhodes and Jerick McKinnon while Seattle received six regular-season games and an early exit. Winner: Minnesota Vikings.
