Redskins get Haskins another target in Kelvin Harmon

The Washington Redskins selected wide receiver Kelvin Harmon out of NC State in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, 206th overall.

Harmon was expected to come off the board far earlier, potentially as high as Day 2.

The Redskins drafted Dwayne Haskins' teammate, receiver Terry McLaurin, in the third round.

Prospect profile

School: NC State
Height: 6-3
Weight: 221 lbs

Strengths

• Wins with size, physicality, and strong hands at the catch point
• Tracks the deep ball well and makes subtle moves to separate before catch
• Good body control and adjustments to make plays on back-shoulder throws
• Fights through contact to continue route and get to ball

Weaknesses

• Underwhelming athletic profile may cap big-play ability at next level
• Lacks long speed to challenge defenses vertically
• Doesn’t have quickness out of breaks to create separation
• Lined up exclusively on right side of field

Bottom line

Harmon was getting plenty of buzz until some disappointing athletic scores quickly saw the hype fade. The lack of top-end speed limits his big-play upside, and he's not particularly quick in and out of his breaks, but he still offers value with his ability to physically dominate small defensive backs.
