[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1064100, member: 18006"] I agree. When Gute was not able to adequately replace Watson with an upper-tier WR in Phase I of free agency, he did the next best thing and bought a budget WR who could replace Watson's speed. He had to prepare for the greater-than-zero possibility that he would not be able to get a prime prospect in the draft, which was very prudent. By Friday night of draft weekend, there was no pressing need for Hardman. We'll go through the motions - take a look, give him a chance to impress - but his likelihood of making the team dropped way off the edge of the table when we came away with Golden and Williams. I've been a big fan of Heath from his first training camp. He's a talent, and he shows up whenever he's called upon. If it hadn't been for his numerous off-field issues, he may have been drafted as high as the 5th round in 23 (his poor showing at the combine and low RAS had an impact too). But he seems to have cleaned up his act and is taking football very seriously now, and if we hadn't drafted such a productive group of wideouts in 23, he would have been getting a lot more snaps these past 2 years, and probably be a much more accomplished receiver by now. He'll never be a #1, but he's a legitimate NFL talent IMO. In a way, draft picks are like lottery tickets - the more tickets you have, the more chances you have to win. But it can also work the other way, especially with WRs. Training camp is very short, and the group only gets so many reps. The more players you have, the fewer reps they get in the scrimmages, and the fewer chances each player has to flash an impressive play and catch the coach's eye. [/QUOTE]
