Sounds about right. I've seen Jakobi Meyers highlights, definitely made a lot of n'keal harry one handed catches.

Stanley Morgan (Nebraska), ha. Just kidding (is he related to THE Stanley Morgan?).
Anyway I would not have picked a WR there. The Patriots have done well with late-round WRs (and FAs) in the past so pick one or two there. This smells like a panic pick, a need pick, like Tavon Wilson. This guy is not the next Randy Moss....
Who has actually come out and said that he’s the next moss?

Not to me it doesn't...not by a long shot, especially when the cost to acquire him is considered....BB's second pick this year looks way better than his first.
You weren't wrong about Roberts....I was wrong on Elandon Roberts (he looked like crap on the college tapes)...
Au contraire; I am almost always right, even when heckled like I am now. I was wrong on Elandon Roberts (he looked like crap on the college tapes), but right on almost everyone else.
Watch the tape on Harry; he is covered on half those routes. He is big, sure, but slow out of the gate (but I do like his acceleration while on the move; Jerry Rice had this also--a slow 40 time but the ability to turn on the jets while moving). He is not going to stretch the field but he has some other talents.
No one, Fred is just refreshing his hate.
I think we can put our panic away when it comes to Harry. I know the Pats have done extremely poorly drafting receivers early rounds, and middle rounds, and late rounds. But Harry is different from any receiver we've ever drafted. I could be wrong, he could turn out to be a bust, but I highly doubt it. He is a proven commodity in the college ranks who was incredibly productive. Has incredible hands and high battle level. The high battle level shows how much he wants to win every jump ball. As good as he was in college, he can get better, and will get great coaching from the Pats.
His yards after the catch is a very underrated part of Harry's game, he's got great strength (27 reps as a WR at the combine, more than any TE), which helps him run over guys and make contested catches, as well as he's got good speed and good elusiveness (see some of his punt returns). Great hands. This is just a different type of receiver than anyone the Pats have ever drafted in the Belichick era.

Beast.

Huge dice roll by the Patriots on this one. Will he learn the system and develop chemistry with Brady? Impossible to know. They must think he has tremendous upside to justify taking a WR in round one. It will the most exciting offseason story for me, and it seems like a boom-or-bust if I’ve ever seen one.
Harry is the opposite of a "boom or bust" pick. That would have been DK, Butler etcHuge dice roll by the Patriots on this one. Will he learn the system and develop chemistry with Brady?
