22. Minnesota Vikings

04/15/09- Percy Harvin WR. Tough call between Harvin and center Alex Mack. There is definitely a need at C owing to Matt Birk defecting to Baltimore. Currently, Minnesota only has John Sullivan, a 6th round pick from last year, to replace Birk. However, I’ve got to go with Harvin because Harvin represents greater value at this point in the draft than Mack, and WR is definitely another need for the Vikings. The only bona fide receiver in Minnesota is Bernard Berrian, and I hesitate to say that he is one of the better #1 receivers in the league. Minnesota really does seem to be serious about this Sage Rosenfels / Tavaris Jackson experiment, and so they’ve got to provide more weapons for whichever QB wins that “battle”. There are a number of good center prospects in the draft (Unger, Wood, Caldwell, Shipley), I think Minnesota will feel it has a good chance to address the position with another high pick.
