The two Rutgers DBs – that was a very good defensive unit that they had last year, over the past few years actually, but especially last year. Of course Logan [Ryan] had a very productive year outside and Duron [Harmon] inside. I know that whole group, but especially those guys, are close. They communicated well, played well. Both were very productive, both defensively and in the kicking game, solid guys. We’ve had a number of our players here comment on their personal characteristics, so I think we’re getting some high quality guys there as well as good football players.

MUST READ–> Looking at Patriots picks 3 and 4: Logan Ryan, Duron Harmon – Extra Points – Boston.com

Good stuff, in what is sadly Bedard’s Boston fond farewell weekend….

As far as his role with the Patriots, besides special teams, I think he fits best as the “money” dime back that Tavon Wilson played last season. If Wilson grabs the three-way competition between Adrian Wilson and Steve Gregory, Harmon is another option at money along with Adrian Wilson, Gregory, and Jamie Collins.

Why do you think that was the case that you flew so far under the radar?

DH: To tell you the truth, I don’t know. I just play with great players. You have Logan Ryan on the same defense as me. You have Steve Beauharnais, a great middle linebacker. And then you have Khaseem Greene, Big East Defensive Player of the year, so it can be easy for a good player to fly under the radar. But obviously the New England Patriots saw something in me that they liked and they went with it and took their [inaudible]. I’m nothing but appreciative that such a great organization would have that much faith in me to come in and help the organization win games.

Our Patriots Draft Selection Reviews

Here’s some quick linkage to everything we wrote yesterday about the four new Patriots:

Grading all four of the Pats picks in one place.

How Jamie Collins fits into the Pats.

How Aaron Dobson fits into the Pats.

How Logan Ryan fits into the Pats.

How Duron Harmon fits into the Pats.

Day 3 Mock Draft.

Some other overall thoughts…

I’m excited to see how they use Jamie Collins. The fact that they spent their first pick on him tells me a lot. I didn’t think defensive end was a huge need, but it seems like the desire to get more athletic trumps everything. 

The fact is that the guy is an athletic freak, and I’m sure BB will find a way to maximize his talents.

WIth Ryan and Harmon joining the secondary I say just throw them all in the mix and see who emerges from training camp healthy and playing well.  Ras-I Dowling better have himself a camp.

I don’t know what exactly they saw in Harmon (no one does), but it will be interesting to see where he starts out. Clearly BB values the strong safety position a lot given where offenses are headed.

Hoping they grab another receiver or two today.

He can explain the techniques, his assignments, what other guys are doing at Marshall. We’d look at things that we did, then come back and talk about them. He remembered how we did them, how we call them, things like that. He’s a pretty intelligent guy. He has good recall of what [Marshall] did. He had a good understanding and grasp of learning, taking new information, processing that and being able to understand it and apply it. Tell him something and then see a play a few plays later and say, ‘What would you do on this play if they did this, they did that’? There’s different ways to measure all that, but he’s a pretty impressive kid. He’s a mature kid. He’s pretty smart.

Saying all the right things, I really hope this works out…
