2. N’Keal Harry, WR (Arizona State):

If you want a big and physical wide receiver who can pick on cornerbacks when he’s got one on one coverage, than N’Keal Harry is the wide receiver for you. Harry is a 6’4″ wide receiver that has a catch radius that makes quarterbacks more accurate. That certainly sounds like something that would help Jackson out in the early stages of his career. Harry is a play-maker and he has the production to prove it. Harry is coming off of two  plus 1,000 yard seasons in which he’s scored a combined 17 touchdowns. His 13.6 yards per reception in his collegiate career is one of the most appealing statistics out there.

Harry makes sense for the Ravens because he is a receiver that makes a quarterbacks life easier. Not only is his catch radius impressive, but he can win the 50/50 balls with regularity and he works well in traffic. He’s got the speed and quickness to be successful and he’s got the toughness to be an Anquan Boldin like receiver (and with that sentence, every Ravens fan perks up in their seat). Harry is the kind of receiver that would have worked perfectly with Joe Flacco and he’ll be a security outlet for Jackson. When in doubt, Jackson can just throw it up and Harry will often make the play.

While he’s not a burner down the field, speed won’t be an issue. He’s got an explosive skill set and he’s one of those players that is open 24/7 over his head. Harry is a more than suitable option for the purple and black and unlike the Ravens past receiver selections, he is reliable.
