NFL Draft Prospect Percy Harvin has been cleared by doctors
A player a lot of Bucs Fans will have an eye on come April's NFL Draft is WR Percy Harvin. The major question with drafting Harvin has been his inability to stay healthy. For the time being he has been given a clean bill of health at the Scouting Combine after going through MRI after MRI. Percy on his status and what type of receiver he thinks he can be:
"It went good and everything is clear. I see myself as a pure receiver who can go in the slot. I can do the screens, the reverses, stuff like that." - Palm Beach Post
More importantly how does Bucs General Manager Mark Dominik see Percy Harvin's role in the NFL:
"Reggie Bush was an extremely explosive, dynamic player, but it was much easier to cast his role in the National Football League, I don't think Percy is going to have a hard time fitting in. But Reggie was such an obvious running back. That's probably why there's such a gap in where [Harvin is] going to go." - Palm Beach Post
The 40 times for the Receivers has yet to be officially posted, but it's rumored Harvin ran a 4.37 40, he reportedly ran a 4.32 40 as a freshman at Florida. For measurements sake Deon Butler of Penn State ran a 4.28, Darius Heyward-Bey of Maryland a 4.32, Johnny Knox of Abilene Christian a 4.25, and Jeremy Maclin of Missouri a 4.40 (unofficially). Here's the official 40 times for some of the WR class:
I know alot of you want the Bucs to go this route, i just can't see it. He's too raw for a first round pick. He may or may not make it in the NFL, much like Ted Ginn of the Dolphins a couple years ago...

Murphy's 40 surprised me a little more than Harvin's...
The year Harvin was clocked at 4.32 at Florida, Murphy ran a 4.29. But either way, it’s not like they ran bad this time around anyway. If last year is any warning, the Bucs won’t be drafting just on 40 times. Anyway…
I think we are drafting about 8-10 spots too early for Harvin anyway. Of course, I’d also say looking back now, Reggie Bush went a round too early. You never really know what you’re going to get with these types of players. Is Bush exciting from time to time? Sure. Could Harvin make a big impact? Sure. But was Bush worth the #2 pick looking back? Hell no. And could Harvin just as easily be only average? Of course.
As much as I love the guy, if I take off my orange and blue glasses and look at it only in terms of pewter and red, I think I’d rather go after someone else. Too many question marks on Harvin’s injuries for me. If we were talking 2nd round, sure jump on him. But he won’t last that long, so I think we should look elsewhere and go at receiver later…like JScott and I have been saying all along…with maybe a Murphy or Quan Cosby type.
