Bring him in.

If the Vikings are worried about losing him, they won't get a better offer than 2.1.

It makes a great deal of sense for both sides.

Say we sign Bowe back, what would Harvin play in a Reid offense? Slot?

Harvin plays slot almost exclusively i thought

Like the Colts turning picks for the CB who I can't remember, this would be a good deal. Not getting a Harvin type player in the second round.

Why would Minnesota let him go?

Thats what I was thinking but couldn't remember.

Love Harvin but a second rounder scared me. He's injury prone and has been known to be "cancerous". This is also a good year to need a WR at the top of the second. Hunter, Patterson, Austin,etc...

I like a few of the QB's in this draft alot, and I know this isnt' Madden.

But if you could leverage the first and second round picks, into Freeman, Harvin, the 13 pick in the first round and a later pick in the second, it would be tough to not take that.

Well shit, why not just draft Aaron Rodgers? Duh, that was easy.

Harvin made Ponder look decent. If you trade 2.1 for Harvin, draft Geno at 1.1, then re-sign Bowe and Albert - holy hell you have a good offense.

And he only had 62 catches.

He is completely hamstrung by playing with Christian Ponder. He would put up 1200 yards easy in a top passing offense.

A) I don't know that we can count on Austin being there.
B) Austin simply isn't going to be as good as Harvin. Percy Harvin is an MVP caliber player when he's healthy.

The sole question is his health. And yeah, that's certainly a big one. That said, I don't see how you can't take that chance if you're looking to bring in a passing-oriented offense and help take some pressure off a quarterback.

These.

See, drafting a guy like Austin, you HOPE he is close to as good as Harvin. There is a 0% chance he is better. People severely overestimate prospects and draft picks. If you can trade a second rounder for a 24 year old Harvin, you stole him.

Look at the WRs who are generally drafted in the second round. Hell, look at last year's draft. Brian Quick, Stephen Hill, Alshon Jeffrey and Ryan Broyles were the WRs selected in the second round. Quick was the first pick of the second round.

Anyone on that list you would put in the same conversation as Harvin?

I'd give up a third, but with his recent health concerns that would be it. There are over 10 receivers with a first or second round grade and that number could go as high as 15.

My preference for the top two picks are Geno and Bailey.

He is fragile, but worth a 3rd round pick.

2nd rounders sound soooooo valuable, and on occasion they are (Brandon Flowers, etc...). But man, the odds of you getting someone as good or better than Harvin with that pick are maybe 5%.

Nah, if you're looking to turn this into an aerial assault with a rookie QB at the helm, you can't make a better 2nd round pick than Percy Harvin.
