Photo poll: how do you like the Pats' day 1 pick?

[Soliel]

On Twitter, people are saying to just hand us another championship. Lol

Not yet, gotta survive camp

I gave it an A because the guy seems capable of doing what’s needed

Since i wanted a d-line it doesn't wow me, and I can only remember dion branch every panning out as a high rnd pick.

BB may have wanted a DL as well but they were all gone. The best available was likely a Zack Allen or Winovich. Both would have been kind of a reach at 32. BB should have tried to trade up for Tillery but it didn't happen. I like the Harry pick.

Before the pick if you had told me they were drafting him I would have said B-/C+

Since learning a bit more about the prospect I'm more in the B+ range. It was a solid pick. Not a steal but solid. Ask me in a weeks time after I do a lot more work on the kid and I may tell you something different.

Tillery is a very talented player but I would hate to trade up for him. I don't like the idea of trading up in the first for guys with even minor character issues.

I love the pick. I wanted either him or AJ Brown at receiver. Best thing about this pick is is lessens the chances that bum DT makes the roster.

 

[BlueThunder]

I'll reserve judgement after tonites picks are tallied.......I like that he fills a need and is one of the top WR's...plus..He's not a smurf....

 

[MrNathanDrake]

Like a few others I would have preferred AJ Brown over N'Keal Harry, but I don't have a huge problem with it since it's not like AJ Brown is heads and shoulders above every other WR in this class. Plus WR is arguably our biggest need so again, I think it's a fine pick. B+ pick for me.

I like AJ Brown too but I like NKeal Harry better.

Harry is bigger and stronger with more length and better vertical. Harry will threaten teams deep.

A.

Maybe Bill goes really bold in round 2 and trades up to pair N'Keal with AJ brown or Deebo.

Should have signed Dez

Him being able to pick up the playbook is essential - he can have all the skill and talent in the world but if you don't get our offense you're useless.

Or alternatively DT performs well during TC makes the team, Gordon is reinstated and we have a wr core of edelman Gordon DT and Harry with dorsett and another slot wr rook/ berrios. Not too shabby

Why does everyone keep forgetting about Slater as an additional WR

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Tom Brady being the great guy he is congratulates Harry

 

[Soliel]

Liked his response. I have no clue what emotion would happen after a call like that.

 

[Kdo5]

A!

I was beating the WR drum and especially so as I watched OT's and DL flying off the board last night. I had liked AJ Brown quite a bit but watching and reading more about Harry has me very optimistic this was the right choice.

I have long hoped to see the Patriots go for a WR in the first round because we rarely get our hands on good WR talent in the draft. Edelman and Branch were the only guys who really became something.

Harry has a ton of potential to be a top 2 receiver coming out off this draft. Maybe star potential. We shall see.

I voted B, because while he seems like the type of player who should succeed here, the unpredictability of receivers in our offense means I won't feel comfortable until someone starts to overhype him in OTAs

I gave it a B, but I’m not sure it’s a fair grade because I haven’t had time to see who else was available, so it could well be deserving of a higher grade. What I love about the pick is that it both addresses a clear need, but also provides great position redundancy with Josh Gordon. So I’d Gordon is available they just have that much more size and strength outside the hashes, but if Gordon isn’t available they will gave a player that fills his roles. As always Belichick is filling roles to build a complete team, and not just acquiring talent without regard to roles he needs filled
