A guy like Hardman wasn't going to be able to play the X here - he was a package/gadget player. If you're looking to replace Watkins with a similar style of player, you'd better take him this season and spend the year getting him up to speed. OR you hope that Hardman turns into a true X next year.
In either event, I don't think the idea that you draft 'for need' at WR in Kansas City the year you need said WR stands up. You'd better be drafting a year ahead of your need at the WR position here. Reid's system is just too damn complex.
(But Higgins still isn't that guy)

I'd disagree. Would be absolutely stunned if we go WR with our first or second rounder. We likely start the year Vegas odds on favorite to win the Super Bowl. I dont think you burn a first or second rounder with the future in mind when you already have the best receiving corps in the league. Now if you want to draft a developmental receiver late in the draft so be it. Plenty of draft picks out there that can impact this years roster as well as the future. There is a time and a place to draft and build for the distant in lieu of immediate future but this year isnt it. Draft for both.
