Not exciting. But for a later pick OK. The bummer was it was only a later pick because we traded down.
I don't think the 4th round picks are going to make up for what we lost here. There were some splash players available without trading down and even after trading down Harry had more upside for us. The Patriots are consistently smarter than our staff so the fact they bought in on him tells you all you need to know. We missed on that one.
His college production is solid. But watching him on film he didn't look exceptional to me, just good.
I would probably be more excited but he isn't going to come near Clark's level, not with several years of seasoning. So we just got worse on the line and replaced an exceptional player with a much less exceptional one.
The Patriots do not have a good history with WR picks in the draft. Deion Branch and Julian Edelman are the only guys they have drafted at WR that have done anything.
This is the first WR taken in the draft in the Belichick era. N'Keal is the perfect possession receiver for the Pat's style of offense. Brady will pick you apart and march down the field with receivers like this because they will get you first downs.
He was who I was hoping we would pick with our second pick.
We like 1st downs too, don't we?
