The Vikings ended up drafting Percy Harvin with the 22nd pick in the first round of Saturdays draft, but they werent?the only team that wanted the explosive wide receiver from Florida.?Star Tribune columnist Sid Hartman detailed in his Monday column how the New England Patriots wanted Harvin, and now Clark Judge of CBSSports.com reports the Jets wanted Harvin enough that they offered Philadelphia a package of draft picks to move up to 21st.
The Eagles, though, made their own trade to move up to the 19th spot so they could get wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, who surprisingly was still around at that point. The Jets had offered the Eagles four draft picks, including two in 2010, according to Judge.
