Winner 2: New England Patriots — N’Keal Harry (No. 32)

How in the world do the Patriots keep getting better? Well, the answer is that everyone is concerned with themselves, not with the team who is consistently playing for the Super Bowl trophy.

While maybe drafting a wide receiver like N’Keal Harry didn’t make sense for 31 other teams (OK fine, not everyone had a first round pick), it made plenty of sense for the Patriots to improve the area of their team that is the weakest.

With Josh Gordon being incredibly unreliable and Rob Gronkowski retiring, Tom Brady has only Julian Edelman to pass to — Edelman was the Super Bowl MVP last season.

Harry led Arizona State in receptions over the past three years and averaged 13.6 yards per catch. He does an incredible job creating space for himself from his routes alone. However, standing tall at 6-foot-4, Harry serves as a big target who can fill Gronkowski’s role in the red zone.
