Harvin Back On The Rise?
Posted by Mike Florio on April 25, 2009, 2:25 p.m.
Though our gut feeling that the Raiders will make Florida receiver/return specialist Percy Harvin the seventh overall pick in the draft is a “longshot” (as a league source told us moments ago), we’re hearing that Harvin could still be taken in round one.
If the Jets don’t trade up for Mark Sanchez, they could use the 17th overall pick on Harvin. If Harvin remains on the board through 21 picks, the Vikings could then take him at No. 22.
Our guess is that, if he falls beyond No. 22, someone will trade back into round one. Desperation is the key here — many coaches and General Managers know they’re in trouble if they don’t win now.
Harvin comes with risk and baggage, but he could help guys like Mike Tannenbaum and Brad Childress remain employed.
