I'm tired of worrying about choir boys. Talent wins in this league and Harvin's as talented as all but maybe 6-8 WRs in the league. People said the same shit about Brandon Marshall but when he got his deal and a little age on him, he's matured into one of the most dynamic playmakers out there. "Hell no, I don't want that stabby malcontent...blah blah blah" - Oops, Marshall's actually a freakin' boss. Harvin appears to be a guy that plays with a chip on his shoulder and it shows behind closed doors. He is not, however, a Diva on the field or in public. He has enough self control to keep that in-house for the most part (with leaks from within the Vikings organization making it public). That tells me he's not an unhinged guy, but rather someone that's unhappy with his contract situation and that's about it. Give him his extension and, like Marshall, I think he straightens up and flies right. The Migraines are a concern, but he does appear to have learned to cope/manage them well. I just don't see why he's not worth a pick that has a 50% chance of being a bust and a virtual 100% chance of not being a better player than he is.

Why in the ****ing world would you want to give up a high pick for a guy that gets like 700-900 yards? That's ridiculous. |

Granted, I'm a Mizzou fan, but do you remember Maclin in college and coming out? He was as electric as anyone out there. Those skills haven't deteriorated. He's still incredibly explosive in and out of his cuts and can get behind most secondaries. I honestly think his problem in Philly is DeSean Jackson. They have Jackson running the routes that Maclin would be best at and they have Maclin running the patterns that you want someone like Bowe running. I think Maclin alongside Bowe would be one of the best #2 WRs in football and would provide a huge boost to everyone on the offense by spreading the field. Bailey is not more physically gifted than Maclin - he just isn't. So I see nothing to suggest that Bailey would be better than Maclin at this level other than the unknown which captivates us every draft season.

The Chiefs have far greater needs at #34 and #77 than to spend it on a receiver opposite Bowe, who I fully expect to be re-signed. |
