Re: OT: Percy Harvin Wants Out
I love Welker, but I'd deal him for Harvin in a cocaine heartbeat. Harvin is 7+ years younger and an obscene talent. Don't be fooled by the production, it's as simple as one coaching staff getting it (Patriots) and another being clueless (Vikings). Harvin played 58% of the Vikings snaps last year despite them having zero talent at the WR position and being healthy. Not to mention the difference between Tom Brady and Christian Ponder.
Problem is Vikings would have zero interest in a deal for a 31 year old Welker as a rebuilding team. It'd have to be Welker dealt for pick(s) and then flipping a likely better package of picks for Harvin. Problem is based on age, Harvin would likely require quite a bit more to acquire than Welker would. Probably wouldn't be worth the extra picks to acquire Harvin when we don't have the excess of picks that we usually do.
If it comes down to a comparable package of picks though, give me Harvin any day. This kid would be an absolute monster if used to his full potential like he would be here. Throw in a 7 year age gap at a position we need to get younger at, a dynamic kick returner and just the versatility he provides, and it's a no brainer in a straight up deal IMO.
