2. N’Keal Harry is deserving of a first round NFL draft selection

At this point the N’Keal Harry show is trending toward the stuff of legend. The Arizona State wideout is the clear-cut No. 1 option for his offense and everyone in the stadium knows it. What they weren’t able to do was stop him.

Harry ended the game with nine receptions for 161 yards and three touchdowns including a 61-yard bomb that effectively put the game on ice. He wasn’t alone, Brandon Aiyuk caught six passes for 101 yards. The production from Aiyuk was just enough to keep Utah from selling out to shut down Harry, something that, in hindsight, they might have wanted to devote more attention toward.

It’s clear at this point that Harry’s final season will result in a selection in the 2019 NFL Draft. What remains to be seen is how high the Sun Devils’ standout will come off the board. He’s got the size, speed and physicality to be a true No. 1 receiver at the next level, and that type of player doesn’t grow on trees. He’s not going to fall far down draft boards come next spring.
