Do you want to wait a year again when we are in " WIN NOW " mode ?
Any way you want to spin this, Campbell was the more polished WR of the 2 when it comes to running the plays we ran with Hill, FOR THIS YEAR!
Raw talent? Really? Every WR, for that matter, any player from the college ranks coming to the Pro's is Raw by way of determining their ability.
Come gang, let's be sensible here.
I have thought this all night long. Campbell received punts, he may of, I don't recall him on kick offs. Some of you Buckeye fans chime in here to help me on this one. Plus Meyer had Campbell and McLaurin as WR's, so each one got routes to run and a few deep balls.
Campbell probably broke more tackles when he was hit running the same speed and being almost 20lbs heavier.
I hope Hardman holds up when he is getting drilled across the middle or on kickoffs.
Bottom line, I wish the best for him because I want to win ..... NOW! I'm 61, will be 62 this fall and I just feel differently about taking on a project when we are in "win now mode" !

As recently as two days ago I was all-in on Campbell until I hung out with some Michigan and Ohio State fans before the draft.
I was disturbed to hear their opinions on Parris Campbell. I thought "super fast speedy former running back bam another Tyreek". And they were like "absolutely not. He cannot track the ball. He can't catch downfield. He improved but he was a drop machine. His longest passes are bubble screens that he'd catch and then run far."
I do not like that. Tyreek was amazing tracking the ball. It's totally different if you have to rely on screens to get moving. If we had Alex, sure. But with Mahomes you have to get down field and catch 40 yard passes regularly.
Everything I've read since on Hardman is that he's a natural pass catcher and an extremely "with purpose" change of direction route runner. He's just as fast as Parris and he looks the look.
Also I trust our scouts more than draft website part time dudes.
