My personal opinion is that you nailed the Rice comp. He is a slightly taller, slightly slower version of Rice. Not too much slower, though. I thought Rice showed marginally better quickness in his breaks and stuff.

Honestly, the biggest concern for me wouldn't be projecting his impact, it'd be his availability. You can't play from the tub.

With Rice it was his first gear and body control that I really loved along with his willingness to be physical.

I see the willingness with Harris but I don't see the 1st gear out of the cuts (and as I said when Rice timed, I was floored by his poor time; I really saw more deep speed than the stopwatch showed). With Harris the body control is good but I viewed Rice as College Elite and NFL premier. Like really damn good from day 1. I see Harris as a step below that -- simply good for a college player. And I don't see the deep speed I saw with Rice (that the stopwatch didn't support).

Said it for years that I'm a traits/measurables whore with WRs. I really can't shy away from the label and wouldn't if I could. And with Harris I see a collection of solid traits that just don't look like they add up to a genuine top 60ish prospect. Back of 3? Sure -- take a shot. But he was too productive out of an SEC program for that. And there are teams that won't be bothered as much by the average short-area quickness.

So in the end I just won't get him. And I'd be fine with that. Not because I dislike him in a vacuum, but because there are going to be guys I like more.

I've been a measurables whore as well. I'm starting, VERY slowly, to learn my lesson after love affairs with Phillip Dorsett, Will Fuller, Parris Campbell, and Jaylin Hyatt. Who did I put in my mock? Dymere Miller, another Dorsett carbon. It's a bleepin disease man. I love Jaylin Noel as well, no surprise.

I was high on Rice and I desperately for us to move up to take Brian Thomas, so we're getting somewhere.

All things told, if you held a gun to my head and said pick a WR in any round, ignoring other needs, that you think will be available at our pick, I'd actually take Emeka Egbuka in round 1 with strong consideration for Jayden Higgins. So, maybe, there's hope.

I wanted Egbuka in the 1st round last year and then he screwed me and went back to Ohio State.

He's just so damn smooth.

Nate Taylor’s mock:

1 trade up for Mykel Williams DE Georgia
2. Tre Harris set Ole Miss
3. Trade down for Alfred Collins
4. Trevor Etienne RB Georgia
5. Zy Alexander CB LSU
7. Luke Lachey TE Iowa
7. Jalen Travis OT Iowa State

I like Williams but either way a deep class? He also had us trading down to take Alfred Collins so the Patriots could take Judkins.

God help Veach if he did that stupid ass shit

Yall are trippin I'd like this.

I've been talked out of wanting Josh Simmons. I'd be willing to change my mind if next year's OT's look to be even less impressive than this year's at this point.

And I'm in agreement with wanting RJ Harvey over Skattebo, but I'd certainly not be pissed with Skattebo.

If you don’t like Simmmons and/or Skattebo, it’s pretty tragic.

Honestly, would prefer Martinez or Goddens at that spot.

Yeah a WR that doesn’t fit our system that well and no real improvement to the pass rush would really piss me off

Fully disagree that Tre Harris doesn't fit our offense.

Forgive me, as I have not followed closely this year compared to the past, but is Simmons the guy who has his knee injury or patellar tendon if I am not mistaken?

Can that be an issue? Is there history of players who suffered similar injury as this and affected their play in a bad way?

Only reason I ask is that I remember Victor Cruz, Jerod Mayo, and that Jackson guy from the Chargers had similar injury. Also (and I can be mistaken here), their return-to-play performance definitely decreased?

Maybe it's just me, but this feels a lot of high risk and low reward.

Okay this one ****s. I’d be happy with this

I would be thrilled with some gets here but I don't see this as realistic.

I just don't get the Simmons to KC stuff. I can't fathom this team taking that chance in round 1. If it's what they do, I guess.

I feel like the late 2nd is about a round early on Norman-Lott but who knows for sure on that one. I do like him, but he lacks experience. I feel like there will be better options at that pick. I'd like him more in the 3rd. I think you can work with him. Wouldn't hate it though.

Ayomanor is a guy I don't know if he fits in this offense really well, too straight tline, and the drops are a very real thing. Doesn't feel like something we'd go after in the 2nd round. Maybe the 4th round on that type.

Blue is probably a 5th or 6th rounder, talent doesn't equate with his speed at all. 3rd is way too high. I don't think he's a guy Reid would sign off on with the fumbling issues.

Rucker is meh. Short frame, short arms. I don't think that will play with Spags. I get that Danna has been a guy here who's played, but he's kind of an enigma.

Buchanan is probably a 5th-rounder, could even sneak into the 4th. He's a really solid LB. I don't know why he'd slip to the end of the 7th round. I can't see it as even remotely realistic.

Crawford is probably a 6th-rounder, could sneak into the 5th with his workout. A lot of teams have looked at him. No way he's the last pick in the draft.
