I like the CB with Cleveland's pick and I like taking a WR with ours but I don't know about taking a tweener like James Hardy there.

The guy had good production this year and played well against good competition but we need a true WR, not a tweener. He's 6'7" 220 and isn't real fast. He will probably bulk up a bit in the NFL and move to TE. Could be a good one too but we don't need one right now.
Captain Nathan Brittles: "Only the man who commands can be blamed. It rests on me... mission failure!"

"Jerry Jones is a billionaire fan who bought his own team for the express purpose of buying his way into the game. He wants to hang out with the players, stand in front of the cameras, be the face of the team (yech), make personnel moves as if this were a video game, and more than anything else, be seen as the guy who made it all happen."

Put Talib in place of Smith and I wouldn't have a problem, Hardy is a beast, kind of reminds me of Plaxico Burress.

Unless they are projecting a trade, it's hard to take a mock seriously when they have 2 AFC teams playing in the Super Bowl.

Regardless of the circumstances, it's hard to take ANY mock seriously.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

Don't see the jets picking ANOTHER OT after getting Ferguson so recently- and I doubt Long lasts till then anyway. Talib is not fast enough to be a top flight CB. Hardy is going to end up at TE.

I'd rather have Talib instead of Smith and Bowman over Hardy.
