Doesn’t get separation if I remember right
This guy says don't worry about it:

"All this talk about (his lack of) separation is overdone. In the league, nobody gets that much separation anyway. You have to know how to use your body and route leverage and you need strong hands. From what I've seen of him, he does all that stuff well." -- Wide receivers coach with AFC team

Dez Bryant type guy, I think. Worth a shot, and Lord knows they need outside WR.

Not the WR I was expecting but fine with the pick. They've needed a better X receiver forever and Harry might be that guy, as well as somebody who could potentially replace some of Gronk's red zone production.

Did we just draft David Givens? Those highlights looked similar. Slow, no separation, but big and strong going after ball

Wiki says he was born in Toronto then moved there as a kid. And they wouldn’t lie would they?
Hmm, NFL.com shows this: "Harry is a native of the island of Saint Vincent"

Either way, wiki says moved as a baby and it was apparently a big deal when he went back to Saint Vincent as a teenager that had made it in America.

In short, fuck Toronto.

McShay’s analysis of Giants Daniel Jones pick: “At 6, they needed to go defense. Or...or...offense, but just not that pick!”

Every one of his highlights looked like what you’d expect from a Pats WR during the final drive of a close game.

First WR pick in the first round for Pats in 23 years. Terry Glenn, 1996.

There was talk on the radio today that "Team Z is on the clock" is now a meaningless phrase as teams can no longer lose their spot to the following team when the clock hits 0:00. Supposedly, Caserio said the Pats could have drafted Harry as late as this morning. Does anybody know the new rules about drafting? Seattle did take forever late last night.

There has been no rule change, the Patriots could take as long as they wanted because there was no pick after them. The Seahawks had back to back picks, so they let the first 5min run out while working on a trade because that started their second 5min. Basically the 5 minutes is the time before the next team has the option to turn in a pick, if there is no next team (ie the day of drafting ends) then you can wait for hours with no consequence.
The end of the 5 minutes isn't an actual deadline, rather the 5 minutes should be considered your "Exclusive selection window" when it ends the next team can pick, and once they do, the next one, and so-forth. At any time you can jump back in with your pick.
