Minnesota Vikings’ Receive Third Round Pick For Percy Harvin Deal

The Seattle Seahawks have won Super Bowl 48 and now the Minnesota Vikings have the final piece of their trade forPercy Harvin.

Because of the Seahawks 43-8 win on Sunday, that gives them the final pick of the 2014 NFL Draft. But this also means that the Vikings will receive a third round pick in this upcoming draft from Seattle, which will be the 96^thpick overall.

Minnesota used the 25^thoverall pick from Seattle last year on cornerbackXavier Rhodes, who had a solid rookie season before having an ankle injury late in the season. The seventh round pick, 214^thoverall selection, was used on guardTravis Bond, who started the season on the Vikings practice squad but was picked up by the Panthers.

The Vikings now hold eight draft picks right now. That is subject to change with any trades or any compensatory picks gained from free agency. The powers that be could use that extra third round pick to possibly (and hopefully) fix their defense. Currently Minnesota is 31^stin total defense.
