I think Campbell could have done it, but if they think Hardman has higher upside, whatever.

Being able to add Thornhill at the next pick made it ok for me. I think he's gonna be a stud.

Isabella probably could've stood in there nicely as well, but he's just soooooo smaaaallll.

He's a slot guy only long-term because of that. And with the diminished catch radius he may not be able to fully take advantage of Mahomes ability to get balls into areas that most QBs can't.

Maybe they look at Hardman as a guy who's development could make him a long-term X receiver here whereas Isabella, who's learning curve is unlikely to be as steep, would be a slot guy only. Having the potential to transition to the X is pretty critical here given the likelihood of losing Watkins.

I think it's all rearview rationalizing though - Veach thought he was losing Hill and wanted badly to ensure they had a speed threat out there long-term to keep the middle open.
