Percy Harvin
Position: Wide Receiver/ Running back
School: Florida
Size: 5’11/ 192 lbs.
Combine Results:
40 yard dash- 4.41 sec
Bench Press- 19 reps
Considered one of the most explosive players in recent memory, Harvin is capable of breaking a screen pass into a touchdown on any given play. A living, breathing highlight reel. His coach calls him the best player in America. At the University of Florida, he averaged 9.4 yards per carry and 16.1 yards per catch.
At his pro day, Harvin caught every ball, ran extremely well on his routes, and displayed that elite burst out of his stance that makes NFL teams salivate. Great strength-to-weight ratio. His versatility forces opponents to account for his whereabouts on every play. Despite his small stature, he shows the courage to meet larger defenders head on. Very effective in goal-line/short yardage situations.
Has injury concerns, doesn’t have a true position.
Late first round selection.
Chris Wells
Position: Running back
School: Ohio State
Size: 6’1/ 235 lbs.
Combine Results:
40 yard dash- 4.59 sec
Bench Press- 25 reps
A big runner with better decent straight line speed. Shiftier than most athletes his size, but ever since he injured his foot, he tended to resort to jukes instead of using his immense power to bulldoze opponents. Strength is running between the tackles, but he has long arms, giving him a brilliant stiff arm to stun oncoming tacklers when trying to reach the edge. Excellent north/south runner. Statistically a very productive HB in a tough power running conference in college.
Only an average receiver and blocker. Injuries hampered his production, bringing into question his desire and overall toughness. Not a vocal leader.
Late first round selection.
Aaron Curry
Position: Linebacker
School: Wake Forest
Size: 6’2/ 254 lbs.

Said to be the most complete player of 2009, Aaron Curry is a once in a decade kind of player. Very well could be one of the fastest linebackers in football, very strong, great tackler. Incredible intensity, likens himself to Ravens’ linebacker Ray Lewis. Has a good feel for coverage and shows soft hands for a man of his size. Proven team leader who earns respect of his peers with his amazing work ethic. Extremely versatile, multi-dimensional player. Great field awareness and good understanding of the game.
Wasn’t asked to rush the passer often enough to develop a pass rush repertoire.
Top 5 talent.

Michael Crabtree Scouting Report
Known for his physicality, Michael Crabtree plays like a sledgehammer with legs. Especially physical when the ball is in the air, shows good awareness of the sidelines, uses his body to wall of defenders from the ball. Extremely productive in college (1,100 yards and 12 touchdowns last year). Superb hands, very reliable even in clutch situations. Tough, willing to play with minor injuries. Excellent at gaining additional yardage after the catch.
Lacks elite speed, displays poor ball protection, some injury concerns.
Overall, top 10 pick.
