Why did Charles Harris vs Jordan Willis become a thing?
Both players were quite exciting to watch on tape.

Probably a third round pick. Maybe more since Dallas really, really wanted Harris. I'm sure they were one of the teams with offers that Grier mentioned.
Taco would have been the pick for us at 28. Add that into consideration.
So happy we stayed put. Next year is the year to move up or down now that we've addressed some major needs and found two long term starters on defense.
Teams miss on players all the time, and Willis may end up being a very good NFL DE, but the fact that some are actually hoping that Willis is the better player, just to "be right", reminds me a lot of people getting excited for when Tannehill had a bad game, just so they could say "I told you so" on the forums. At this point, I could care less what Willis does, Harris is a Dolphin, he is the one I want to have success and I hope he ends up being the DE, the team thinks he can be.
What? There is lots of disdain for Willis in this thread, and absolutely no negativity about Harris. Where are you agenda comments originating from? Seems concocted to me.
It's a three year carousel ala Gurley vs. Dude from Wisconsin type argument. By the time the three years are up, no one will care and you'll be perceived as a diehard blowhard if you do. It's mental masturbation at it's best/worst.
That said, I'll place my mental goo chips on Harris... because Kansas state is the scientology of college football, there I said it. It's a weird, creepy cult where players seemingly do well ensconced in the program, only to underwhelm outside the barracks ala Daniel Thomas once they escape. It's the most generic Midwest college program that has zero national following I've ever seen. Even the stadium has no discernable characteristics.

So, if they wanted to move up to get Jordan Willis, they would have had to trade... Jordan Willis? Sounds very complicated.Probably a third round pick. Maybe more since Dallas really, really wanted Harris. I'm sure they were one of the teams with offers that Grier mentioned.
