Interesting WR

I like Hardy alot. Would love to see us with him, then again I have been a Pirate fan way back to the early 80s. Hardy is a good one and probably no later than round 3.

I am an old Pirate fan so bandwagon wit

I was senior in high school when he was a freshman, I noticed that he was going to be special. With Hardy on one side and Erik Highsmith on the other, other HS football teams had a hard time guarding both WRs.

I hope his success continues in the future but first he is going against one of the better corners in college football in Vernon Hargreaves III, let's see how he performs.

Hardy is not tv talent man. He's the real deal. Trust me as a guy that has watched every snap he's taken as a Pirate. Exceptional route running, great fundamentals, smart, everything sticks to his hands. He is truly a VERY GREAT college receiver.

 

His lack of athleticism will likely drop him to round 3, but depending on his pro days and combine he could go as high as a late 2nd rounder (I don't know how he has or would perform at a combine).

I would love to take Hardy, but he is really just a Cotchery clone. There's nothing wrong with that, everyone needs a solid possession guy that runs great routes, but we need gamebreakers and Hardy lacks the speed to be one.

 

But those hands... Jesus. He catches anything near him. 

 

If we can get a playmaker in rounds 1 or 2 and he's still there when we pick in round 3, then I want him.

Juuusst saying.....let's get a hogmolly in the 1st and get the NFL's next dark horse Pro Bowl WR afterward

 

 

 

Sound thinking. I trust Gettleman and his scouts to filter out the best players available for us.

    • I think you've nailed what we need right here.  Rodriguez and Thieneman would be my choices, Thieneman in the first and Rodriguez in the second. Let everyone else eat up their picks on the crop of WRs and linemen. Then make a push in free agency for the top center.
    • Vernon Gholston vibes?  had 14 sacks at Ohio State in 2007; 45 games in the NFL:  0 sacks.  
    • I want a high impact player, but a true FS who could qb the secondary might be more effective than we realize.  I don't think Moehrig is that guy (I think he is overpaid, however).  I want a flashy, high impact player, but we could use defensive qbs at ILB  and FS.  By upgrading skill AND adding vision and leadership, could we get better than if we added an edge or OT? I am not sure that I believe this myself, but I try to look at things from all perspectives.  Here is some devil's advocacy stuff: 1. EDGE-We are freaking out about the pressure we put on the qb from the edge position.  However, Jones II and Wonnum missed a total of 22 games. Scourton was a rookie and Princely was a third rounder.  Wharton sucked (not sure if he was used properly--a hybrid who can rush from the 5 tech or 3, etc), and this put more pressure on Scourton and the other edge players.  This year, we get Jones II, Scourton should continue to evolve with Princely.  Perhaps another rookie is not what we need.  Maybe a veteran situational pass rusher.  2. OFFENSIVE TACKLE:  Of course, we need an OT, but the draft is loaded with OTs that can pass block but struggle in run blocking--so a rookie at LT might not be the answer for a team that wants to run first.  What to do?  I am not sure.  I see Nijman returning after testing the market, but who knows? 3.  INSIDE LB:  A huge need, regardless of how you spin it.  However, I see a few free agents who would be solid here, and I see the second round having a few ILBs with starting potential.  I do not see an ILB worth the first round pick unless a freak falls to us. 4.  With veteran defensive backs, a young, intelligent FS could fit in nicely. Intelligence is key--like the way Luke made the front 7 better. "A good, intelligent free safety (FS) acts as the "quarterback of the defense" transforming a unit from good to great by acting as the last line of defense, communicating pre-snap adjustments, and anticipating plays before they happen. By reading the quarterback's eyes and diagnosing offensive schemes, an intelligent FS acts as a "centerfielder" who can neutralize deep threats and mitigate errors made by cornerbacks or linebackers."
