I've been sensing the Harvin pick was coming for a few days now. I was pretty unsure about it at first because of the character concerns. It's not so much that he tested positive - I'm sure a lot of these guys would test positive if you gave them a random drug test - it's the fact that he knew this drug test was coming and he still didn't prepare for it. I think it shows a lot of gall to not be prepared for this test that he knew was coming all year.
That said, this pick could be a home run. Harvin is a dynamic player and he does so much for your team. He is going to take an immense amount of pressure off of Jackson. He can come out of the backfield, he can run routes, he can probably be a great return man if we want him to be. Like Adrian Peterson, he is liable to break a play at any time. If he stays out of trouble off the field, I think this is the type of pick that can make us a Super Bowl contender. Of course, there is a second step here. We have to have an offensive coordinator that will design plays geared toward Harvin's strengths. With a player like him, you have to be very creative to use him effectively. I'm excited to see what they'll do with him.
I haven't really heard of the other two guys. They both address team needs though. I think getting a tackle in the second round is a great move. I hope he can come in and start right away because our right tackle position is extremely questionable right now. The other guy is a corner out of Georgia. I've been reading about him some. He has blazing speed and looks like he could be a great returner. I saw a message board where people were saying that if he stayed in school next year he would have been a first rounder. So let's hope the hype is true.
