I think Hardman is not that good---I am in the minority--I am guessing either or both of the Giants WRs or Chark.

I think Hardman has Ginn Jr potential. Fast, smooth runner, serviceable starter that commands respect over the top. Frees up other guys

Probably not the guys they're mentioning. I'd be looking at the non-1st round Clemson prospects. Two guys who come to mind are EDGE K.J. Henry and TE Davis Allen.

I mean, Clemson is one of the top college football programs in the nation and they're virtually in our backyard. It'd be negligent not to have a strong presence there.

 hmmm ? Interesting

I mean, if you can't produce more than he did in KC I'm not sure if you're too likely to figure it out elsewhere.

Ya, I don't think Hardman is an answer. We will need someone like Juju or Lazard along with a Rookie WR (Downs or Flowers) and Gesicki.

I'd argue Hardman was better than Juju in Kc.

We need #1 WR.  Hardman is not #1

he's also not a certified clown like Juju is. I don't care how bad our receiver room may appear - I don't want Juju on this roster.

The problem is Hardman is not, nor will ever be a #1 and now we need a reliable one for a rookie QB. 

Besides Juju and Thielan, nobody else checks that box. I would prioritize Thielan over everyone at this point.

It's hard for me to judge WR in KC.  Seems like 90% of their plays are geared towards Kelce and the WR are there just to distract defenders

both from the same area of NC?

Looks like a boring free agency for the panthers

Is Lazard really on market or are Packers expected to bring him back? He seems a lot more talented than Myers to me. 

He's going to the Jets. Randall Cobb is also going to the Jets. Packers East.

Juju nor Thielen are #1 WRs. Both are possession type guys. Thielen with more upside.

It’s not a bad thing outside of us potentially watching the Bears get some ridiculous stud with our 2024 1st.

We aren’t going to win anything with a rookie. FA WRs are honestly atrocious. I’d let that settle and maybe grab a couple cheap vets to round out the squad. We are just going to have to hit on a RB with a 3rd or day 3 and hope a really good TE or WR drops to 39.

I think we’d be better off making a FA splash next year than overpaying for WR3 type guys.
