Landing Zone Still Hot: Percy Harvin Trade Possibilities.

Well, Spielman has officially stated that the Vikes have "no intent" to trade Percy Harvin. Means it's not going to happen, right?
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the same Spielman who told us that Mo Claiborne would be their first NFL Jerseys china round pick last year.  Look how that turned out.
Since this probably is a smokescreen (although I don't see any use in trying to quash any trade rumors), I'll go ahead and mock potential suitors for Harvin anyway:
Minnesota Vikings:
Once again, the first thing to consider is no action on the part of the Vikings. I personally see the probability of a Harvin trade as almost the same as a Revis trade, given Spielman's tendency to bluff the hell out of every other franchise.
Odds: 1:5
San Fransisco 49ers
And once again, the 49ers are a front runner for any possible trade. Outside of Crabtree/Davis, there is Cheap NFL Jerseys Online no receiving threat on the 9ers. With the Chiefs' 2nd rounder in their pocket, I see even more of a reason for San Fran to dig deep for Harvin.
Odds: 1:4
New England Patriots
Harvin was a possibility for New England back in '09, so they would be happy to jump for him here. With Brady declining and no similar receivers available at #29, it's not rocket science to figure out that Harvin's a good idea.
Odds: 1:9
Miami Dolphins
After shipping off Brandon Marshall, Miami has a new need for a #1 wideout, which Hartline does not meet. Harvin, on the other hand, would be a perfect weapon for Tannehill. the extra picks received after shipping off Marshall and Davis would be perfect ammo for Harvin.
Odds: 1:7
Detroit Lions
What the Lions need is an agile receiver alongside Megatron, not a guy like Ryan Broyles or Nate Burleson. Sadly, the Lions cap issues and inter-division relations won't let this trade happen.
Odds: 1:49

Cincinnati Bengals
Another two-timer on my lists, Cincy Authentic Customized NFL Jerseys is desperate for something across from A. J. Green, as Dalton needs all the help he can get. With the Raiders 2nd round pick and $50 million dollars kicking about, Harvin is an option.
Odds: 1:8
Cleveland Browns
With the Browns sitting on the #6 overall pick, the have an ample amount of pick value to drop on guys like Revis and Harvin. While corner isn't a concern for them, a use of the #6 pick to take a proven guy like Harvin instead of their current crap in Greg Little or an unproven rookie like Keenan Allen is a solid idea.
Odds: 1:12
So, just like my last post, where do you think Harvin ends up? Check back tomorrow for a discussion about a Revis for Harvin trade.

Manti Te'o Runs a 4.82 40; Disappoints Harbaugh


Manti Te'o needed a good performance at the 40 yard dash to impress the coaches wholesale jerseys from china watching at the combine on Monday. He failed to do so, recording a 4.82. John Harbaugh can be seen on video shaking his head as he watched Te'o run. It looked like Te'o ran out of gas after the 20 yard line then coasted to the finish.

NFL Network Analyst Mike Mayock stated that Te'o only needed to run a 4.70 to lock up a first round draft spot but Te'o, trying to erase all doubts about his talent level, failed to do so.

Teo's 4.82 is only milliseconds nfl jerseys sale away from matching the 40 yard time of 4.87 that Dontari Poe, the 376 pound Chiefs DT, ran last year at the combine. 

So now that Te'o failed to improve his draft status, where does he sit now? Chris Wesseling, NFL writer, states that "Te'o could start falling on draft boards behind LSU's Kevin Minter, who was officially clocked at 4.81 in the 40. Several respected analysts have noted from film-watching that Minter did a much better job of shedding blocks at the nfl jerseys on sale line of scrimmage last season." 

With all of the controversy in the off-season, many people were curious as to how Te'o would handle the media at the combine and the attention from the scandal. It seems like he's done a great job ignoring it and focusing on the drills. It looks like the only thing holding him back from the first round in the draft is his own skill.
