2. N’Keal Harry
The New England Patriots 1st round selection will be a starter right away and Pats fans can’t wait to see what he can do. N’Keal Harry has all the makings of a star receiver in the NFL.
When the Patriots drafted Harry I was intrigued. You have a better chance of seeing a dragon than seeing New England draft a receiver in the 1st round.
Harry signals the new direction that the Patriots are going in. They are looking for receivers that can be deep threats and be problems in the red zone for opposing defenses’.
Standing at 6’2″ Harry will definitely be a target in the red zone. I don’t think he will rack up catches at a Julian Edelman like pace, but when he gets the ball, Harry will make it worthwhile.

It might be my Patriots bias, but I think Harry will have one of the best seasons of this year’s rookie class.
