If you can routinely get 600+ yard downfield threats with 2nd round picks in this league, you're in pretty good shape.

People struggle with expectations.
Am I ever expecting him to develop into Tyreek? Nah. Tyreek is a top 5 football player in the league right now. Not just a WR, but football player. Dude tracks the ball better than I every thought he could or would. It's awesome. Plus the speed etc.
But back to expectations, guys drafted in the 2nd round could develop into top guys sure. But that's ideal. In a real scenario where you get a guy that gives you 600 yards and 4 or 5 TD's per year, while being dynamic, well that's pretty good.
Take Desean for example. Was he ever the actual #1 guy? Nah, probably not. But he was the absolute ideal #2 guy. A speed guy that runs a limited route tree, but the routes he runs are the most valuable ones you can have.
I think that's the ceiling for a guy like Hardman. Sure, you'd love for him to develop into a technician route runner with that speed, but that's just hard. More likely, be the speed guy that you can just throw a few killshots too and work from there.
Guys that are the total package don't go in the 2nd round. They go in the top 15.
