boohyah Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 No matter what we do in the draft either trade up or trade out of the 1st, if Percy Harvin is available, will we invoke our "best athlete available" credo. According to Mike Mayock, Crabtree and Harvin are the best athlete's in the draft and that Harvin was the best workout he had seen this year. We know Crabtree will be off the boards as Money has proven with his "mathematics", but Harvin is slipping big time and just got busted for marajauna at the combine and his past is more than flaky.

Harvin is an interesting case. His stock seems to be falling, but whoever does get him will certainly have a real weapon. The guy will be able to return punts and you can move him around, hand him the ball, throw it to him, and with his quickness he can go the distance anytime. I'm not pulling for the Giants to draft him, but it would be interesting to see what he would do if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're looking for a wideout and he is one. Mayock was saying he's falling into the 2nd round. He's also saying Hicks/Britt and co are looking like they'll go around 26-39. If those guys are on the board alongside Harvin, well that's going to be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Giants will try and steer clear of any player's with possible issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well free agency pickups this season throw that theory out the window, and the whole Plaxico issue had less to do with his behaviour as opposed to his refusal to renegotiate.

NightFire Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I thought Bradshaw also at one time? No, he stole a PS2 and lied about it. He did apologise after being caught of course. Oh yeah I think there was some under age drinking issue too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedinBlue Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 NFL Live on ESPN just reported Harvin tested positive for marijuana during the combine. If a guy gets caught during the combine, then his problem is worse than just doing drugs....he's friggin stupid. Everyone knows they are going to be tested...EVERYONE. If a guy can't stay off the stuff for a couple of weeks before the biggest event of his life that will make or break his entire career....then he's just plain stupid.

Nesta Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 After Michael Phelps, you'd think a little marijuana use would raise your draft stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastershake Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Completely ignoring Harvins off the field issues... Do we really need another 5'11 receiver? The only exception I would make is maybe if we have the chance to trade for Jeremy Maclyn who is 6'0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
