Just made a post about this in another thread before seeing this... I think this is a smart move. We need to badly address the D-line but there aren't many free agents or rookie prospects that will make an immediate improvement. Outside of Suh, there were no big free agents this year. Guys like Sheard would have been smart low-cost signings, but there's no guarantee they would have been much better than guys like Spencer/Selvie. But Hardy is a guy who can be brought in for cheap and make a huge impact. He reminds me of this year's Melton. A low-risk, high-reward "prove it" deal. We needed edge rushers badly last year. Mincey was solid but he's no superstar, and Lawrence didn't come around until the end of the season. I really like Crawford at DT. We still need some 3-tech depth and possibly a starting 1-tech, but depth is easier to find. We need a starting-caliber edge rusher in the worst way. If we get Hardy, we can go BPA in the 1st round. I really really hope Marcus Peters falls to us. He can be a great CB.
