Stop the presses (not really), because our second pick for the Cleveland Browns in the SB Nation Mock Draft is Florida WR Percy Harvin.
 |
 No. 36 |
CLEVELAND |
Why the selection? Besides the fact that it's a steal, ...
Percy Harvin not only aids the Browns' receiving woes, he adds some much-needed spark. It's been awhile since Cleveland has had a receiver who was elusive and could create yardage after the catch (that was supposed to be Stallworth, but he failed miserably). In a way, Harvin can be seen as a player who can be utilized in the ways fans had been hoping Joshua Cribbs would be used as a WR the past several years. Like the previous regime though, I think Eric Mangini and company will find it critical to ensure Cribbs is focused on doing what he does best -- special teams.
Before the Donte Stallworth incident, I didn't see myself making this pick so early. Even though the situation forced me into this pick, I still like the thought of what a guy like Harvin can contribute to this team.
Note, Harvin was originally taken early on by the Minnesota Vikings in round one. After the Jay Cutler deal and a partial re-draft, Harvin ended up slipping down to the Browns.
You may discuss the pick here, or at Mocking the Draft. Either way, be sure to visit Mocking the Draft to read my full reasoning in choosing Harvin. Also, feel free to continue discussing who I should select with Dawgs By Nature's later second round selection.

If he lasts until 36, this would be a good pick.

If he is there in the second round I would love the Browns to take Percy “Oh, Mercy” Harvin. I would take him even if we took Crabtree at 5. Just reload the wideout position.

I really think this is the definition of “falling in to your lap”. I just hope Daboll can get him the ball or that he can learn to run good routes.

…is what I would say if this were a real pick and not a mock.

It’s ok to get caught up in fantasy when the reality is the Tribe just got mercilessly pounded in the opening series.

I don’t really like baseball. I mean I guess I support the Tribe, but it wouldn’t crush me the way a Browns loss does or the Cavs losing before the NBA finals might.

heh, I had to edit my original writeup (the one that I made before posting to the site) because I was making it sound too much like the pick was official.

You wouldn’t want a real news outlet to use your material as a source…

Hey Chris will u make a thread about who the browns should take at 50
BradyQuinnisBeast - April 11, 2009
We have to have our picks in three days before they actually post to Mocking the Draft. So, I’ve already made the pick — it was a good thing many of you had discussed it in the previous thread(s).
Chris Pokorny - April 11, 2009
How do u know who has been taken though. And are you allowed to give us a hint on who it is
BradyQuinnisBeast - April 11, 2009
Yeah, this pick would be a steal right here. If he falls this far, the Browns would have to take him. We need playmakers on offense.
Buckeye Brad - April 10, 2009
i like the direction of these two picks, chris…help on the front seven and an offensive playmaker out of the first 36 picks is pretty strong. if harvin falls to us here, i would be thrilled.
DontCallMeJoey - April 10, 2009
I kinda would like kenny britt at this spot, but i would like harvin too
BradyQuinnisBeast - April 10, 2009
maybe i missed something big, and i would love for the browns to draft crabtree at 5, but has crabtree visited the browns yet? could mangini draft him even if he hasn’t visited?
sww2109 - April 10, 2009
No, I don’t think he has visited, and yes we could draft him anyway.
He’s not healthy yet, so a visit would really be just like an extended interview, wouldn’t it?
rufio - April 10, 2009
Percy Harvin??
I like this guy, He is explosive and he would make an impact early.
