I'd say that's fair. I think I just love his upside.

Mario ran a 4.59.... horrible start.
We need wins, and that's all we need. I don't give a damn about anyone on this roster over wins. I'd trade Ware, Lee and Dez if it meant more wins.

Horrid time by Mario. He needs a sub 4.5 or goodbye 1st round.

Even still, I'm still hoping we take him in the 1st.

He caught 55% of the balls thrown at him in '07, which is a little low. He also had an unusually high number of pass defended against him, particularly for a guy his size.

Hardy was borderline Round 1 going into this Combine, by most accounts.

I think he's definitely a Round 1 pick now.

Also, given D Jackson's size, it definitely works in Hardy's favor, as well as some other borderline Round 1 WRs.

James Hardy is a Plaxico clone......

Hopefully he could contribute right away if drafted. He is an athlete playing WR.
Bye Bradie.....

Jerry... Get a stud.

It does not matter how fast or how big or how quick you are if you DO NOT CATCH THE BALL.

I've seen alot of this guy and have been a fan of Hardy ever since his freshmen year.

Yes, he is fast and tall, but has problems getting separation and does not run the best of routes. However he is a tremendous leaper and has the ability to catch the ball up high with his hands. I'd like to have him, but if he doesnt get drafted by us, I wont be too sad.

He will likely have a very good NFL career. Unless he sustains a major injury, his size and speed will keep him on someone's roster for a long time. I doubt he makes it to 22.

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.

I'm really starting to like this Jordy Nelson guy from Kansas. He's having a great workout today and has exceptional hands.

BEWARE of underwear olympics guys who did not really produce on the field.

Surely you're not talking about Hardy or Nelson.

Earl Bennett is still my guy at WR. He isn't the fastest, but he did turn in a 4.51 which is pretty good considering he is definitely not thought of as a burner. But the guy runs great routes and likely has the best hands of any WR in this draft.

Plus it doesn't hurt the insane numbers he put up against SEC CB's playing for Vandy.
