Even though Hardy has sucked

I wanted Limas Sweed that year and he has sucked too. Sooooo I guess I can't say what if...

That whole WR class blows.

Eddie Royal and Desean Jackson were taken after Hardy. I didn't include them in my what if thread because we all wanted Hardy and he was supposed to be the big receiver to complement Lee.

In a sense, though, the FO dodged a bullet- many people wanted Hardy in the first round, and many draft analysts had him slotted there. So, while it looks like Hardy is a bust, he could be a Mike Williams-style colossal bust instead of a mere disappointment.

Interestingly, Mike Williams is actually looking really good in Seattle. Playing for his old Coach Carroll.

Could be worse... Many wanted to sign Earnest Wilford! Remember him?

Hardy has been a dissapointment... He is rarely healthy.

Yeah, it's tough to prove yourself when you can't stay on the field. Regardless, as was said before, that whole wide receiver class was underwhelming, in terms of what the Bills needed...a huge target to complement Evans. The talent just wasn't there although taking a flyer on Hardy in the 2nd, while now evident that it may not pan out, seemed like a good move at the time.

There was no taking a flyer on Hardy. That term gets used way to much to down play something. If we took a flyer on Hardy then every pick in the draft is a flyer...

Perhaps "taking a flyer" isn't the way to phrase it, but Hardy and the other "big" receivers in that draft were hardly slam-dunks. I think that, if the Bills didn't have such a strong need for that type of player at that point in the draft, we might have passed on him and went in another direction. The values of these guys were inflated simply because teams in need didn't have much to choose from.

Definitely a better way to put it. Sucks when a positions value is inflated because the whole isn't that strong.

I remember wanting the kid from Oklahoma, Kelly or something, I guess not knowing his name shows me I was wrong too.

Malcolm Kelly. He has sucked, too, and Devin Thomas hasn't done a lot yet, either.

Re: Even though Hardy has sucked

HARDY NEEDS TO BE CUT or turned into a TE.

Too many guys on this roster deserve a spot.

He is not a great guy as the bullet hole at his dads house would attest to.

Sends a memo to team that this is the NFL and you need produce or you are gone.

We have better talent in D Nelson for this type of WR.

I am tired of waiting...I want to win now ...

In practice. Lets see how he plays against teams in real games. I think the Bills have a better HC in Chan, than Seattle does with Pete, JMO.
