Can't you at least wait 'til the end of training camp?
As a neutral observer I would give it a B- and only because I know nothing about Duron Harmon and regardless of how good he ends up being, I think he could have absolutely been selected with your pick at #102 (and frankly maybe even at #226).
Of course, Belichick is much more in tune with how much behind the scenes interest Harmon was getting, so who knows? So it wasn't the player as much as the possible reach there that is the demerit, imo.
I like Collins. And love Dobson where you got him. And Logan Ryan is also very solid. Those picks and a non-reach for the 4th pick and the draft gets a B+/A- from me. The reach for Harmon makes it a B- as it stands, imo.
Maybe could have traded back (didn't Miami trade up shortly after?) from the Harmon spot and picked up another late rounder and still got him and kept the #102 pick. Anyway, the draft was nowhere close to a disaster from where I am sitting.
Think about this: the head scratcher pick can't be a head scratcher! BB always makes that one pick that makes you question his sanity!
I would give this year draft a C, my mini break down.
Positives:
+ Got lots of Picks
+ Addressed major needs and added depth to it
Negatives:
- No starters, my major concern.
- No 1st round stud
- Too many reaches
F MINUS
Who knows? Mayock said he'd moved him up from 7th/UDFA status based on watching his tape, so maybe others saw the same things?Duron Harmon was a total headscratcher for me. Even if BB knows and loves this guy's skills and intangibles I have a hard time believing he wouldn't have lasted till late tomorrow.
