i havent been against the guy…i just havent been convinced that there is a “special” WR in the draft that could be our #1 guy right away… but the more i see and the more i hear…this homegrown Florida boy might just be the guy….

but in college the only issue I remember is an unsubstantiated rumor a teammate had punched him. But that was just a rumor that nothing more every came of. For the most part he really seemed like he wanted to be the opposite of the traditional Va Beach thug player, and kept to himself, didn’t draw a lot of attention to himself, etc. I know there is one scouting report that mentions a bunch of character concerns, but that is the ONLY report saying those things, so who knows how/where they got that info. Nobody else is mentioning it though, and all of his interviews went very well.

I have a co-worker whose son is an assistant with the team, and he spoke highly of Harvin as a person so I’m not really concerned (apparently Ron Zook was a giant A-hole though and treated everyone like crap).

The injuries are a concern- but a LOT of his injuries were really caused by the bone spur he had removed. All I can say is sometimes guys are truly injury prone, and sometimes they are unlucky- Harvin is talented enough where I think you take the gamble and hope he was just unlucky.

22 reps of 225 pounds is pretty damn strong for a reciever, actually. Urban once claimed in an interview that Percy benches over 400 pounds. Plus you could see especially as he got later into his career that he was harder and harder to take down with just one hit.

Plus a 37 1/2 inch vertical? Seriously?

Now, all of that being said, I personally think Murphy would be a better fit for the Dolphins. 6-3 205, good hands, crisp routes, and sneaky speed. And if he’s still available at #25, don’t be surprised if Parcells jumps on him, because he reminds me a lot of Keyshawn Johnson without the mouth. He’s always been a hard worker and great team player as well, never said a word despite being in the shadow of the Tebow and Percy show.

we’re turning all the Dolphins gay.. I think we should stop having CKC’s lol

Seriously though, the kid is jacked right?

Most of the injuries were leg/ankle/foot though, which happens when you get tackled all game by fat guys I guess lol.

He’s built like Steve Smith.

Every single WR fell into the 2nd round last year. I think there might be 2 or 3 that go in the top 20, and that says alot about how talented this class is. But I don’t think Harvin is in that 2 or 3. Crabtree is a guarantee, then you have Maclin, Nicks, Britt, Heyward-Bey, and Harvin all fighting to stay in the first. I think Maclin, Nicks, and Britt all go ahead of Harvin just based on potential and size (unless Harvin goes 25 lol). I’ve seen some mock drafts that have like 8 WR’s in round 1, while stud DL/OL drop into the second. That won’t happen. I think that there will be at least 6 OT’s taken in round 1 (Both Smiths, Oher, Monroe, Britton, and Beatty). There should also be quite a few DE/OLB’s taken.

I just don’t see there being the same type of run on WR’s in round 1. I’d be surprised if Harvin doesn’t drop at least into the 20’s.
