Everything looks different in retrospect.
The receipts are all here.
Go back to draft day and see that Harry was mocked to go where he went, there were a ton of good scouting reports on him, 95% of the board was thrilled with the pick.
This is the exact opposite of DK Metcalf here. People were calling him a combine wonder. Tons of scouting reports were doubting him.
Why you believe Metcalf -- given the greatest measurables anyone has ever seen for a WR [size, strength + speed] -- dropped all the way to the bottom of the 2nd round?
He was considered a lunk, stiff hips, couldn't move well, very questionable hands. Harry was the opposite. Although scouts said he gets little separation, they said he had outstanding hands, good speed, high points the ball. Etc. Harry was supposed to be like Devaunte Parker.
As for the 2nd round, AJ Brown, Deebo Samuel and DK Metcalf turned out great.
But you're also touting a bunch of guys who are either m'eh or bad, like Artega-Whiteside, Isabella, Paris Campbell, Hardman.
We missed on Deebo, AJ Brown and Metcalf.
You forgot Terry McLaurin and Diontae Johnson …
You are way off with your pre draft theories and scouting remarks on all these men
Harry had major red flags and most experts did not have him marked as a first round talent.
The scouting reports regarding Harry were spot on.
"Team sources call Harry not real twitchy or explosive. They worry about how he is not fast in and out of breaks and don't see suddenness. Some sources said that Harry reminded them of Ole Miss wideout Laquon Treadwell, who is currently headed toward bust status for the Vikings. Some other sources say they are grading Harry on the second day of the 2019 NFL Draft. One team source said they originally planned on grading Harry in Round 2, but were lowering him to the third round."
In comparison read Deebo Samuels scouting report
"As a receiver, Samuel is impressive. His speed and play-making skills with the ball in his hands eclipse that he is a really talented wideout. He runs good routes and consistently uses his speed to achieve separation. Samuel is very dangerous on quick slants and running go routes down the sideline. Samuel is very adept at tracking the ball in the air and plays it well. He high points the ball and times his hands nicely to make catches over defensive backs. Samuel has soft hands and catches the ball with his hands naturally. He is also an aggressive receiver who isn't afraid of contact.
What really sets Samuel apart is how dangerous he is with the ball in his hands. He has excellent vision to weave around defenders and can use his speed to rip off yards in chunks. He has quick feet along with the cutting ability to stop-start or stutter step, and a strong frame to run through arm tackles. When the ball hits Samuel on the run, he is a big problem for defenders because he is tough to grab in the open field with his shifty moves. Samuel has enough speed to run away from defenders and take a catch the distance. Samuel is superb on screens and jet sweeps to race through the defense.
Samuel looks very versatile for the NFL. He could line up as an outside receiver and play the X - split end - to challenge teams vertically. Samuel also is dangerous out of the slot and could be a tough receiver to defend on underneath routes. With his size and speed, Samuel also could take some carries out of the backfield. On top of his offensive skills, Samuel is a dynamic returner who should contribute on special teams. In the 2019 NFL Draft, Samuel has a slim chance of being picked in the back half of the first round and probably will not get out of the second round if he makes it to Friday night."
Also AJ Browns scouting report
“Slot bully with rare combination of brawn and quickness that allows him to separate with both power and foot quickness. Brown has the size and demeanor to take on a relatively heavy workload as a safety blanket for a young quarterback in a ball-control passing attack. He'll see an upgrade in athlete across from him, but he has the feet and body control to uncover and create windows as a premium route-runner.”
DK Metcalf's scouting report
"The things that really set Metcalf apart are mismatch size and speed. He has excellent height and strength to be a size problem on the perimeter. That size makes him tough to tackle and a threat to make any reception as he can win 50-50 passes over defensive backs. He is a red zone-weapon who could be a point producer as a pro.
Metcalf also has freakish straight-line speed, and that was illustrated at the NFL Scouting Combine when he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.33 seconds. Off the line of scrimmage, Metcalf is very fast at running straight go routes down the field, and he can burn defensive backs by just running by them. He is a threat to score on any reception as once he has the ball in his hands because he can run away from the defense. Metcalf tracks the ball very well, using late hands to make receptions. He shows nice concentration and ability to make one-handed catches."
