On Florida wide receiver Percy Harvin…
“Couple weeks ago I had him going to Tennessee at the 30thpick. At one point, I had him at No. 17 to the New York Jets. But he is different. He’s not a wide receiver per say, but a jack of all trades. He’s a Reggie Bush with the Saints -- not Reggie at USC, but Reggie with the Saints. And that’s the kind of player he can be -- running back, receiver, return man. People talk about issues with Percy Harvin. The issue that’s not positive is an injury he played through in the Championship game. He made the one big play of that game that turned the tide and helped Florida to win it. And without him, they don’t beat Oklahoma in my opinion. He’s got great value. Of course, Reggie Bush was the second pick overall and this kid will be in the late first round with those same type of explosive skills and versatility. Late first round he’s got outstanding value.
Durability with Harvin is an issue as it has been for Bush at the pro level. He’s only 195 pounds and he’s going to have to prove that he can stay healthy. If you can keep him on the field, he’s going to put up a lot of all-purpose yards for you.”
