The move to take anything other than a QB,WR,or DE lacks so much sense, that I think these mockdraft people are onto something given our history at the draft.

Why bring in someone who is very similar to a talent we already have? I like most want a tall guy who can stretch the field. Why bring in someone who is very similar to a talent we already have?

The guy could be a game breaker. So what if we already have Leon, IMO they are two different type of palyers. Harvin reminds me of Steve Smith, and if he ends up anything like him he'll make the team the drafts him very happy. If everyone is hell bent on taking a WR with our first pick, why isn't Harvin a viable consideration? Frm what I’ve seen of Percy Harvin he’s very explosive! The guy could be a game breaker.

A power running game right? Let's draft Harvin (or Macklin if he falls to 17) in the 1st round and Pat White (the QB from West Virginia) in the 2nd round. Then we run a wishbone/wildcat offense with P. White at the QB.....leon and harvin/macklin as the wing backs and Jones as the dive back. We put Tony Richardson and Keller as an H back/TE to motion and block etc.... We could also start the formation tight...THEN split out leon and harvin into the slots and put Keller out wide... I know I'm dreaming, but I think that combination would be impossible to defend. No LB core will be able to defend 3 sub 4.5 guys in the back field (White/Leon/Harvin) and when you get sucked outside...give it to jones for those yards between the tackles...

Especially if we bring in Matt Jones. Petigrew is big, athletic, strong blocker with hands. He would be a great compliment to Keller. Wouldn't Keller be nice in the slot cracking back on run plays and keeping D's honest over the middle. I would be happy with Petigrew ay #17. Especially if we bring in Matt Jones.

My comment that "he chose not to run one" was a response to Sack's question about his 40 time at Florida's pro day. As for Crabtree, he was listed at 6'3" all year but only measured 6'1" at the combine. So, he is 6'1", but Dean can be forgiven for thinking he was taller, because that was the assumption all year. That and the stress fracture in his foot (not a good week for Crabtree there) may have dropped him down to around the 10th pick, but otherwise he would have been a top five pick.
