A total monster who can play inside or out, can rush the passer, and has great hands and speed (returned 3 INTs for TDs this year).

As far as Tebow, I think he'll go back to school. He doesn't want to be an H-back, LB, or TE, and that's what he's projected as right now. He wants to play QB. I heard both McShay and Kiper today say that he'd be better off going back to school and polish up his QB skills. As far as leadership and intangibles, there may be no better player at any level in any sport right now. Seriously. The man can just will a victory.

I don't care how many pass catchers we have, Percy Harvin would be a nasty addition. He's 5-11 200 lbs, benches over 400lbs and runs a 4.3. He's a tougher Reggie Bush, and can easily line up at wideout or RB. Don't get me started on my Gators. I'll gush for hours.

As far as the other guys, I'd take Duke Robinson or Loadholt on the Redskins in a heartbeat.

It would certainly stir up some sh.., both here on the wp & w/fans & media peops in general, if we selected a wr. I can hear the comparisons to M. Millen now. However, see JLC's latest position review on the rb's. He says the coaches tell him privately they want a home run hitter that can break the big play. Funny to say that even at his age (27?), CP is no longer that guy, though he was when he got here in 04.

Drafting Harvin would be a way to get a Bush type guy that could line up in several places & return punts, something we need badly IMO!

Harvin is from Richmond if I'm correct isn't he? So he's local & that would add to his appeal for fans & Danny, who loves any angle he can market. While I'm in total agreement w/the many here (and media) who are hoping for O & D line help, as well as OLB, if they're able to sign a starting OT in free agency (sounds tough given the cap status), I think Harvin would be a good pick if he was there at 13. He would have to return punts right away though.

He's from Virginia Beach, so relatively local. I would LOVE to have Harvin. He's a threat running, receiving, and returning. But we need OL help too badly to use our 13th pick on him. Now, if we can trade that 13th pick for two late 1st round picks, I'd wouldn't oppose taking Percy (if he's still there) and a lineman...

On a number of draft sites, Harvin is currently projected 3rd or 4th round talent.

Duke Robinson's performance in the gam might have dropped his stock a little, which would help us. I really want to trade down and pick up more picks.

Gators Suck!

If Harvin lasts until the 3rd or 4th round I'll be totally stunned. I'd love to see a link to that. Right now Scouts Inc. has Harvin projected at #29 overall, making him a 1st rounder...

If sucking means winning two of the last three titles then, well....
