That's 5 games. Projecting over 11 games (how many Harvin played) gives :With his 16 receptions for 376 yards as a senior?
35-827
Harvin was 40-644.

Agreed. But you also can't give stats from 5 games as if they're from a full season.Except you can't project a full season from 5 games.
5 games is half a season, or half of what Harvin played anyway.A 5 game sample size is too small to judge anything.
Except you can't project a full season from 5 games. Do you expect Carlos Pena or Carlos Quentin to hit 75 home runs this year because they've hit 7 or 8 in 18 games?

Before getting hurt Tate averaged 75.2 YPG receiving. Harvin (in the games he played) averaged 58.5. Harvin had all his running too, but you're talking about receiving here. Of course I would take Harvin over Tate given the ACL injury but I like Tate in the 3rd over Harvin in the 1st and if Tate hadn't hurt his ACL there's a really good chance he'd have been drafted ahead of Harvin.
Charley Casserly said scouts compare him to Eddie Royal (when Tate was healthy, of course).Agreed. Watch some of the tape on Tate. BB obviously felt he was getting a great value with Tate or he wouldn't have touched him with a 10 foot pole considering the drug test failure at the combine. Tate could end up the steal of the draft.

Great find, BOR. That was a nice little pick me up for Monday morning.
Question, though...WHY does Childress dislike BB so much? It seems like every year he's making some dumb comment or another about him. Is it just because of the Monday Night whooping we put on them a few years ago, or is there something more?
Yet you used it to deride the guy: "With his 16 receptions for 376 yards as a senior?" Hmm......
Thats what he had.
yes, he was hurt, but the argument that hes an established receiver is ridiculous. He's a kick returner who MIGHT be a WR.
Did anyone see Childress on ESPN sat? He was giving an interview about why they chose Harvin.
Childress was asked about his vetting process of Harvin. His reply I went down there sat with his family & looked him in the eye. He went on to say one of the things he likes about Harvin is "he has a great smile"
I'm not making this up!
Of course it's POSSIBLE. But Minnesota was a strong possibility for Harvin all along - if Belichick wanted him he'd have gotten him. Cleveland kept trading down two spots for sixth round picks so the cost was low if we'd wanted him.I find it amazing as I read through this forum as no one...has mentioned that this could have been remotely possible.
:-DBrad, before you wear a groove in your back (that’s our move, by the way), consider this (and we’re gonna wear a groove in our back for a moment): We were able to find out without the application of much elbow grease that the Jets at No. 17 and the Vikings at No. 22 were regarded as the teams most likely to take Harvin in round one. Our sources (who were right on the money, given that the Jets moved up to No. 5 to get Mark Sanchez and then reportedly tried to get the 21st pick in order to pluck Harvin) said not a single word about the Pats taking Harvin.
So maybe, just maybe, Belichick applied the same Vulcan mind trick on the Vikings and the Jets that Belichick played against the Jets last year, when New York took linebacker Vernon Gholston while perched at No. 6, one spot ahead of the Patriots. Belichick then traded down several spots and picked up linebacker Jerod Mayo, who far and away was the better player in 2008.
Think of it this way. Who’s in a better position to get to the truth about Harvin than Belichick, who counts among his close friends Florida coach Urban Meyer? The fact that Belichick didn’t leap frog the Vikings at No. 22 tells us all we need to know.
If our speculation in this regard is accurate, Belichick’s grift is complete, and perfect. The guy who’s crowing about snookering the other guy is actually the guy who got swindled.
Cue Marvin Hamlisch.
