According to the ESPN article they are. It reeks of the Cowboys/Roy Williams trade with the Lions. Like I said, The Hawks already got burnt once before sending a 1st to the Patriots and signing a huge deal for Deion Branch. Guess they didn't learn anything from that or from the Cowboys.

wow. No way Harvin is worth a 1st. Maybe... MAYBE a second. I wouldn't have gone higher than a 3rd.

But then, that's why they make the big bucks.

I hate Sherman and the Seahawks, but if Harvin stays healthy (big if) then the Seahawks may have gotten a good deal - depending on what else was given to the Vikings in addition to the 2013 first rounder. I think this would be what the Seahawks would have given up for Tavon Austin in the draft. Tavon Austin is described as a smaller, weaker Harvin.

Of course, Harvin comes with a lot of red flags. It's a high risk, high reward deal.

Anquan Boldin to the 49ers for a 6th round pick.

Think about this, the next time Harvin makes it through an entire season without missing games... will be the first time.

That's pretty big. Not the guy he was 3 years ago, but still a beast at crunch time.

As @RavensInsider insider reported, WR Anquan Boldin traded to 49ers for a sixth-round pick. WRs piling up in NFC West.

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter
Anquan Boldin needs to pass physical before trade with 49ers becomes complete; he's in Africa on mission. Physical, trade completion await.

FWI, I'd be looking for twitter confirms from reputable sources..."links" are quickly becoming outdated. At least with breaking news.

Anquan Boldin for a sixth rounder -- what??? What is this - a family discount between the Harbaughs?

ummmm, I would have given a fifth rounder for him. Cant believe he only fetched a 6 rounder. Thats weird.

He's a 32 year old WR who hasn't gone over 1,000 yards since 2009.

Still a good player but not a superstar.

Whata move by the 49ers. Boldin is perfect receiver to go against the physical CBs in Seattle. Those CB wont be able to push Boldin around, advantage 49ers.

Exciting to see the arms race to day in the West.

Percy Harvin is an excellent move by Seattle as well. Couldnt have gotten a better receiver where they were in the first round.
