Good - now that is done, I wrote this up for everyone but the two that will be on my permanent ignore list. Looking forward to tomorrows' picks....Have a good night everyone.
Jamie Collins, DE/OLB, Southern Mississippi: Collins is an athletic freak (please see his combine numbers) who looks like he can play both strongside and weakside linebacker in a 4-3 set. He is nothing like Shawn Crable because he has a very strong base below the waste. He typically lined up in a 3-point stance at USM and worked through what was a tough situation last year on a winless squad. Collins has good, not great, sideline to sideline speed and has had adequate exposure in covering running backs and tight ends in coverage situations. I would have preferred Arthur Brown, OLB, who is now with the Ravens. With that said, Collins will get plenty of opportunity with the Patriots at WLB and/or SLB and provides insurance if or when Ninkovich walks as a free agent following next year. I give his draft grade as a B.
Aaron Dobson, WR, Marshall: Dobson, out of all of the wide receiver prospects in this draft class, has the best body control out of any that has been drafted and has unbelievable hands. Dobson is the prototypical X receiver that the Patriots need and if he learns the playbook in an efficient manner, he could be a starter on week 1. Learn all of the tree routes in the playbook and he could contend for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. I think that his speed is more than fine and he is big enough to be our version of Anquan Boldin if coached properly. I give his draft grade as an A.
Logan Ryan, CB, Rutgers: In my view, Ryan is more of a ho-hum selection out of all of the Day 2 selections. He is solid in run support and has a tendency to be over-aggressive in play action pass situations because he has had a habit of being too focused on the line of scrimmage. He has good speed but when a wide receiver gets a couple of steps on him, he has difficulty recovering. With that said, he is particularly good on crossing routes and I can imagine that he will have issue with more physical receivers (i.e. Anquan Boldin types). With that said, he looks particularly good in cover 2 schemes and if the play is in front of him that is where he will be the most productive. I give his draft grade as a C+
Duron Harmon, S, Rutgers: While Harmon was not high on draft prognosticators lists, there is a lot to like about this prospect. He has above average closing speed in the secondary and has a nose for the ball. He understood his role as the safety valve and will provide competition to Gregory, Ebner and to a lesser extent Tavon Wilson McCourty. With that said, only God knows why Caserio and Belichick decided that Round 3 was the time for Harmon to be selected. But, as far as I am concerned, it is irrelevant. What is relevant is if Harmon has the talent to contribute to this team. He could be the long-term strong safety that the Pats were looking for after Chung became a free agent. He certainly has the skills and equally important, Harmon appears to be quite intelligent. He could be a real find or a real dud. We’ll see. I am giving the pick of Harmon a grade of C based on his perceived value.
Day 2 Draft Grade is 85+95+78+75 (180+153 = 333/4) = 83.25 or a B-/B Grade out of this grouping.
