Zay Flowers is a great WR and if the Pats draft him, he'd help immediately. I've watched him his entire career at BC he is legit.LOL Groh. Just admit this is clearly the worst WR class in at least the last 5 years, particularly in top-end talent.
Even if I concede all of that, and I'm not, my point still stands about this WR class as a group. It's pretty universally considered the worst in years.Zay Flowers is a great WR and if the Pats draft him, he'd help immediately. I've watched him his entire career at BC he is legit.
If he played at Bama or Ohio State. He'd have more hype. Though, he's getting the hype now.
Devil's advocate...I mentioned it to Minone before. I am also a huge BC fan, and while Flowers has very good speed, quickness and good compete level, he is small, short- armed and not a leaper. I do not think he projects as a great pro.

He might be successful, but not a star, like Robbie Anderson, the fading idiot my stupid Dolphins just signed.I don't think I watched a game where his size was a factor. He contributed in every way they asked him. He did great on jump balls. Great hands. He has speed in the slot. He could be an Edelman version for us. Even though he was normal lineup outside. He went through a carousel of QB's and did well with all of them. Now, obviously he had his best year with Jurkovec before Phil got injured. But man, Flowers is a game changer type player.
Sure, this WR class might be limited. But there has been no indication as to Zay not being successful in the league.

Then again, Lockett was a 3rd round pick, not 14th overall.
He was also aN UDFA iirc not 14th ocerall. There will be an OT, CB or ED there way more worthy of 14 ov imo.I don't think he needs to be a "star". Undrafted, Jakobi Meyers was not a "star", but he contributed very well to the Patriots.
Has an 8.29 wr ever been taken in the first?Devil's advocate...

He could certainly contribute very well. However, I really, really do not think, he is going to the Patriots. My Dolphins would be a good possibility but their idiotic, pr-hungry GM, Chris Grier, took two first rounders and turned them into none for nothing. God, I hate Ross and Chris Grier.I don't think he needs to be a "star". Undrafted, Jakobi Meyers was not a "star", but he contributed very well to the Patriots.
Which goes to prove that N'keal Harry failed as a WR for reasons not related to his athleticism.Neal Harry had an 8.45.
N’Keal Harry RAS
NKeal Harry was drafted by Patriots with pick 32 in round 1 in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Arizona State. He recorded a Relative Athletic Score of 8.45, out of a possible 10.0. RAS is a composite met…ras.football
Many have. I'll give you an example... DeAndre Hopkins' RAS the year he was taken 27th overall was 4.94. Antonio Brown's RAS was 3.85, and he turned into just about the best receiver in all of football.Has an 8.29 wr ever been taken in the first?
This is pretty interesting. Seems like they've done a ton of work 1st round WRs, TEs, OTs, Edge Rushers, and the larger CBs in the draft.
While I think it's probably noteworthy, I'm not sure I'd read too much into that. Lots of times, Top 30 visits happen because a team doesn't feel they have enough information on a player to give them a grade.Top 30 visits with the top 4 EDGE guys certainly starts to paint a picture. Decent chance one of them is BPA at #14 with the top OTs and CBs gone. Belichick historically loves taking DLine in the 1st, but it has been a while.
I can promise you right now. Zay is better than Harry and no matter where he goes he's going to have a better career than him.Worked out well taking N'Keal Harry
Oh I am absolutely on board with that. Unlike Harry, Zay Flowers can actually move and get open. I am still waiting for that Harry breakout ever since he got away from that mean Tom Brady!I can promise you right now.

FWIW, Matt Groh wasn't in charge of college scouting when the Patriots took Harry.Worked out well taking N'Keal Harry
