    Well we couldn't have known that Hardy would've fallen to us, and no way we were going to take him in Round 1.

    With that said, Hardy is the choice.

    Where did Bryant Johnson sign again?

          none of the top FA WR were worth the amount they signed for IMO.

          and none of them had the height or leaping ability as Hardy.


          Would like to have another sure handed vet but I am definitely real happy we have Hardy

            Johnson did us a favor.

              Well, the question should be:

              Hardy or Hardy + Johnson?

              It wasn't either or, we would have given up nothing to sign Johnson. It wouldn't have hurt one bit. And we are still like 30 million under cash-to-cap.

              But, if it is a hypothetical "who would you rather have?" I'll gamble and take Hardy all day.

                So you guys are saying the Bills FO knew what they were doing when they didn't sign Johnson despite all the fans flipping out about it? Amazing...

                  If we signed Johnson I doubt we draft Hardy

                    Re: Bryant Johnson or James Hardy

                    I think if we had signed Johnson would have have not drafted a WR in the 2nd round, that being said i was a big fan of signing Johnson,

                    But now that we got Hardy who has a ton of potential i am just as happy, i reallly wanted a WR like Devin Thomas, but Hardy is the answer to alot of our redzone problems, and could be a huge addition to this team

                    So i say Hardy

                      OK, then we draft player B, and the question should actually be:

                      Hardy or Johnson + player B? Right?

                      Not to mention, I still would have wanted to draft Hardy. He presented great value. And they still might have, since they weren't interested in fielding a good Tight end.

                        Johnson is a veteran who might have given us more help this season, but I'll take Hardy for the long haul.
                        Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                          Hardy just because of the "potential" factor. That said, keep in mind that Johnson was a 1st round pick and that not all draft picks live up to expectations. I am pulling for Hardy but he could become the next Bucky Brooks, so you never know.

                            I am glad we went with Hardy instad of Johnson + player B. Looking at the prospects available at the time we picked, I might only consider DT Trevor Laws...maybe TE Martellus Bennett. But considering the way the FO drafted, they might have picked another UDFA candidate at #2 - so I prefer to stick to the way things played out!!!

                              Well, ok, again, how about Johnson + Hardy.

                              No matter how you slice it, you can add Johnson without subtracting anyone. Unless you think Johnson is a cancer, or somehow wouldn't make the team, saying you would rather not have Johnson makes no sense.

                              It is like you are saying, "well, they didn't mess it up, so I prefere not to give them a chance to mess it up".

                              You pick player B, any player B, then tell me you would rather not have Johnson.
