I'd rather have Mecole Hardman starting 16 games than Sammy Watkins, not even factoring in that Watkins' cap number was detrimental. We are a better team today for having replaced Watkins with Hardman, and using that money to get Thuney.

Mecole played 6 more games than Watkins and only had 140 more yards, 4 more catches, and 2 more touchdowns a lot more drop. On a per game basis, Watkins was better and they didn't have to run plays specifically for him in order for him to succeed. He fit the natural flow of the offense whereas Mecole really doesn't.
