I don't think Harvin was chosen to be a #1 receiver, by any stretch of the imagination.
I think he was taken because he's a big play waiting to happen. He's one of the most explosive players seen by some analysts (see: Mayock, Mike), and I can KIND OF see where the Vikings come from with this pick.
Having Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin and Bernard Berrian on the field at the same time will cause the opposing defenses some huge issues. Who do you double team? Will cause huge matchup issues, that is if Harvin is used right.
ALL THAT BEING SAID, I still don't like the pick all that much, but understand where they came from with the pick, from a football standpoint. The character and durability issues are what worry me. What makes me dislike the pick more is the fact that Oher was sitting there and I feel we needed a posession receiver rather than another home-run hitter.
