3. Seattle has Paul Richardson, who is a healthier, younger version of Harvin.

A lot of fans seem worried that Harvin being traded takes away Seattle’s explosive, speed playmaker. But don’t forget the man the Seahawks drafted this year to be a Harvin 2.0.

Paul Richardson is just as fast and just as explosive as Harvin, and he might have better hands while playing tougher down the middle of the field.

Throwing Richardson in with Baldwin and Kearse gives the Seahawks a number of threats for Wilson in the passing game, and don’t forget about rookie Kevin Norwood who, though injured, also impressed Pete Carroll this year.

Seattle seemed OK getting rid of Harvin because they feel deep enough at the WR spot to benefit without him.

And if you are looking for someone to replace Harvin, Richardson is your guy.
