Why it could be Harvin...

Percy Harvin was on several boards as our pick early on. He has dropped because of failing the drug test. Harvin is only 5'11" but has been compared to Reggie Bush. He's a fast runner clocking a 4.2-4.3 40. Injury and character concerns aside, don't be surprised if the Jets take him at 17 though trading down to obtain him would be ideal. This is if Maclin or Crabtree are out of reach. Harvin won't be the most popular pick but check out his playmaking ability:

TB short on picks, i dunno man. Obviously we're on the same page with what we want to see, but i'm think we pick at either #17, 21, or 29 tomorrow. Pettigrew will make it past BUF believe it or not and i think we should be fine to take him there if need be

Maybe I'm just a nut, but I'm not nearly as opposed to Harvin as most on this board.

In fact, I'd prefer him over DHB if we stay at #17.

dude's baller, there's no questioning that. it's just the need factor - is he enough of a WR? because that's what we need. he's a great WR/RB type, but i feel like we got that covered with leon. i want us to have a prototypical WR that stretches the field. plus he's got some injury issues. although i'd say he's much safer than DHB.

I've said it before and will say it again, Harvin will be the best playmaker out of this draft. He will be an absolute steal falling in the draft to the late teens or further.. Many teams will be kicking themselves for passing on him.

Harvin in the slot will be unstoppable. And he can run routes out of the backfield which makes him uncoverable for 3rd down LB's and will create unreal mismatches.

This is my guy if we stay at 17. Many Jets fans will put down the pick but just wait until you see this guy on the field. He's a game changer. Him and Leon on the field together will ignite this offense.

#17 = Harvin

There's no questioning the talent, the question is A) How good (or bad) is his health? and B) Just how bad are the character concerns?

If it was only about talent, he'd be a Top 10 pick easily.
