If he DOES pan out out...look the **** out.
I do think he was a weird pick...considering how Pringle looked before getting injured. I understand that he is being groomed for Watkins financial replacement...but wasn't really a crucial get.
Chiefs needed defensive help...especially DBs.

A lot of Conley's numbers were excellent but the one that stood out was the one that doomed him - dude's 3-cone time was abysmal.
And you saw it in his route running from day 1 here. He simply couldn't get in and out of his breaks well enough to be a difference maker.
Hardman appears to have better feet though I don't think he ran the 3-cone. That alone will make his ceiling in this offense significantly higher than Conley's.
I still think he was a reach, but Andy's the best in the business at scheming guys into space and if you can give this kid a little running room before he gets the ball, it's a big play waiting to happen.
