It would be nice if Hardman could show anything at all to give the team confidence they could wait to take a receiver if necessary.

Watkins, Robinson, AND Pringle are free agents after this year. I don't see how there's a way they can bring Watkins back for more money when he can't stay healthy.
Hardman developing isn't going to negate the need for another WR because he's NOT THAT TYPE OF RECEIVER. All of our big-bodied, blocking WR's are free agents. I don't know how many times it has been said but you can't just plug Hardman into Watkins' slot and move forward. It won't work.
They're going to always need more WR's. That's the price to pay for having an offense like this.
