@ TheFootballGuru
Look for Vikings to run the ball more in 2011 and to utilize the TEs more in the passing game. Harvin will be used outside and in the slot so they have a need to add a veteran receiver to the roster.

@ Jeff
AP will get his so I can’t agree that he’s the biggest loser. That has to be Rice with McNabb close behind but I expect help will be added shortly. Harvin gets more touches so this has to be positive for him.

The biggest losers in this are, in order, Peterson, Rice, Harvin, and McNabb. AD will see the box stacked almost all the time now, Rice will see very few well thrown deep balls (and that is his money ball), Harvin will see the best cover corner plus help in obvious passing situations, and McNabb dropped about 10 projected TDs without a true deep threat. Minnesota needs to make more moves to deal with it’s WR talent. Braylon Edwards, anyone?

Harvin struggled when the Vikes tried to feature him on the outside last year. It wasn’t until they moved him back into the slot that he started producing again. With the emphasis on two TEs in Bill Musgrave’s offense, Harvin will need to be able to produce consistently on the outside in 2011.

I’m not sure Harvin can be a #1 wide receiver. I would anticipate the Vikes will sign a free agent WR within the next few days.

Percy Harvin = Monster year
