James Hardy should be considered as a late first round

I believe this guy being at 6-7 220 and is naturally a "FREAK". Looks more like Randy Moss coming out of college. Has great leaping ability and has great hands. I believe he should be drafted with the second first round draft choice.

Darren McFadden with our first round draft choice. Two great picks with the first round.

Is he anything like Dwayne Jarrett?

He's better than Jarrett. Faster, bigger, better routes. He is a beast and will be in the NFL. He will sky rocket up draft boards.

How fast is he?

How fast is he?

He's listed as a 4.6 40 on Walter's Football Site... they also list him as being JUST a bit smaller than he's been credited for in this thread, at 6-6, 215 pounds...

He is the 14th rated WR on their rankings (which they just updated 2 days ago), and a likely 2nd or 3rd round prospect...

Being in the Dakotas i had that Penn St./Indy game here today. I watched the entire game and came away more than impressed with this WR.

I've seen listings of this guy running a 4.59 40 and when i watched him i had to laugh. He's a solid sub 4.6(maybe even a sub 4.5) flat type guy. He gets seperation, beats the jam because he's HUGE and IMHO he's more than a "possession" WR. The kid has 113 yard, 121 yard. 142 yard, and 153 yard days in 2007 along with 11TDs so far this year. If this guy runs a sub 4.5 40 in the combine, he's a top 50 pick.

Meh, if he's anything close to being a "freak", there would be NO question of him being a top 15 pick. I'll withhold my enthusiasm until the individual workouts and Combine.....

He lit up a pretty decent corner in Justin King yesterday. After watching that game, I'm convinced that King needs to come back for his senior year. Penn State doesn't play a lot of press man so that always hurts the draft ratings of their corners. King will need a solid senior year to solidify a top 15 selection. Not a great idea to come out early to be a second rounder. The one thing he has going for him is that he'll test well. He'll also graduate after 3 years in January.

Back to Hardy, he reminds me of Plaxico Burress. If they had a better passing QB you might see more eye-popping numbers. If Dallas could get Hardy and another speed WR in this draft I think they will have done well.

He's solid, but nowhere near a 1st round pick IMO. Not to mention I'm pretty sure he was in some trouble last year for an altercation with his ex-girlfriend. I think Jarrett is a fair comparison. He is tall, runs good routes, but isn't very fast. He use to play b-ball at IU also, but gave it up this past year. Interestingly enough thats prolly the only reason he is at IU was because of b-ball also. And by the way Kellen Lewis is a pretty decent QB I'm not sure what you're talking about there. Color me impressed with Lewis as IU's QB not to mention he is only a soph.

According to sports castors on NBC who presented the Indiana Vs. Penn State game said that James Hardy ran a 4.42
