Dwayne Harris, WR **MERGE**

[fishspill]

I like it too. I like the draft overall and the one pick I have a problem with was almost undeniably a great value at that point.

 

[honyock]

Only thing that concerns me is that he broke the same foot once in 2008 and again in 2010.

One other concern I heard on the Ticket, he fumbled 11 times in his career. A lot for a receiver.

Here is something I noticed that everyone of the guys that had questionable attitude/work ethic are about to be replaced

Nice pick
Conf USA MVP
101 Receptions

Kid is a good player. I think he was also C-USA Special Teams player of the year in 2009.

Overview


Harris has enough ability and a polished skill set needed to succeed as a slot receiver in the NFL who can also contribute as a returner. Hard-working player who was productive in college. He can beat man coverage underneath and find openings in zones but doesn't possess the pure explosion to beat tight coverage. Not a threat to beat you deep but can create some big plays evading the first defender. His willingness to go over the middle and his effort while run blocking demonstrate his great toughness. Harris should come off the board in the middle rounds of April's draft.



Strengths


Harris is a crisp, refined route-runner. Gets in and out of his breaks in a hurry. Can find soft spots in zone coverage. Plucks and snatches the ball away from his frame. Almost built like a running back - can break tackles in the secondary and make the first man miss. Willing to catch the ball in traffic and productive doing so.
Weaknesses


Doesn't have impressive height or top-end speed. Can struggle to separate from quicker, faster corners. Won't consistently challenge the defense vertically and won't take the short pass for six. Doesn't catch the ball over his shoulder naturally. Sustained a season-ending foot injury in college.

Jerruh bringing sexy back :laugh2:

Wow. Kiper said Harris was a really good pick for us.

[RS12]

Position: WR
Class: 5Sr
School: East Carolina
Conference: Conference USA
HT: 5-10.5
WT: 203
40 Time: 4.53
Biography: "Full-time starter the past two years after seeing action with the first team as a freshman. All-Conference selection after his junior and senior seasons. Led East Carolina in receiving last year with 101/1123/10, and also averaged 11.7 yards on 19 punt returns and 20.5 yards on 41 kick returns. Junior totals included 83/978/7 at receiver with a 27 yard average on 47 kick returns, three which were brought back for scores."

Positives: "Smallish, underneath receiver who offers versatility as a return specialist. Displays quickness into routes, nicely makes catches in stride, and adjusts to errant throws. Comes back to the ball to make himself an available target and uses his hands to catch the ball away from his body. Makes the difficult catch with defenders draped on him. Displays good quickness."

Negatives: "One-speed receiver who cannot run to daylight in the open field. Gets lazy running routes on occasion. Looked poor during the Senior Bowl, dropping a large number of passes."

Analysis: Harris has been ultra-productive the past two seasons and projects as a fourth receiver in the NFL but must produce on special teams.

Projection: 6th

I actually love this pick. Dude is built like a running back, sure hands and a good work ethic. Hope he sticks, reminds me a bit of Crayton, actually.

One other concern I heard on the Ticket, he fumbled 11 times in his career. A lot for a receiver.

4 year starter and that includes his touches on returns. They made that sound worst then it is.

That's something I didn't even notice to u said it..............changing the culture

 

[cowboyschmps3]

I was hoping for Jeff Maehl from Oregon, but this works, too.

yea he'd be good hes a lot slower though we need a speed guy like Harris

 

[tomson75]

Lemmings! The lot of you!

We suck. This pick sucks.....the Ginger is a moron. Jerry is too inept to make a good draft pick.

I heard it here.

Thanks, that puts it in a better perspective.

They're actually making the whole draft sound bad. Going on and on right now about the lack of immediate help.

Also not a single fumble last year as a receiver.

Harris isn't a speed guy either.

 

[UnoDallas]

bye bye RW's in '12

Strengths: Very strong runner after the catch with a decent burst and good vision in the open field. Often used as a Wildcat quarterback, on reverses or misdirection handoffs to take advantage of his abilities. Gets low and brings his shoulder to run over would-be tacklers. Keeps his legs moving after initial contact. Spins off tackles inside and falls/dives forward for additional yardage; sniffs the goal line and first-down markers. Willing to go over the middle and take the big hit. Makes circus catches. Fights off defenders in traffic; usually wins the battle for the ball. Tough runner on punt and kickoff returns and doesn't go down on first contact.

Smallish, underneath receiver who offers versatility as a return specialist. Displays quickness into routes, nicely makes catches in stride, and adjusts to errant throws. Comes back to the ball to make himself an available target and uses his hands to catch the ball away from his body. Makes the difficult catch with defenders draped on him. Displays good quickness."



I like the pick - I had him early
