He looked to be a reach when the Packers selected him, especially given his injury history. Anyway, it's just an opinion. My opinion, that is. ----- The biggest knock on Harrell is his technique. He's gotten by on pure strength, athletic ability, and drive thus far, but to be effective at the next level he'll have to better understand offensive schemes and how to use his hands. Defensive tackle isn't especially deep in this draft, so a team who is convinced that he is recovered from his biceps injury will likely take a run at him somewhere between the late first and mid-second rounds. Don't be surprised if Cincinnati calls his name in the first. ---- Durability questions naturally surround him, as Harrell also missed time in 2003 and 2004. Still, Harrell is the third best defensive tackle in this draft class and he figures to come off the board late in round one or early in round two. ---- Injury is a major concern when evaluating Justin Harrell. Missing a lot of time during his senior season has raised some ‘red flags’ and have caused his stock to drop. Although he does many things well, he does not appear to be exceptional at any individual aspect of the position so that is a cause for concern when evaluating his overall potential. At 6’4 and just 300 pounds, he has room to add more weight to stand up to the overall play in the National Football League. Some question his toughness, some question his motor, and some question his desire. As it is, Harrell will drop down further than he possibly should, and could be available at the end of round one or even the beginning of round two and will be an absolute steal for whomever team selects him with that selection.

The biggest knock on Harrell is his technique. He’s gotten by on pure strength, athletic ability, and drive thus far, but to be effective at the next level he’ll have to better understand offensive schemes and how to use his hands.

Defensive tackle isn’t especially deep in this draft, so a team who is convinced that he is recovered from his biceps injury will likely take a run at him somewhere between the late first and mid-second rounds. Don’t be surprised if Cincinnati calls his name in the first.

I need to hear your reasoning before I can comment to your vague post towards Justin Harrel. Can you please enlighten me as to how Harrel was a project?
