You certainly don’t want to pay him to be anything more than that, but he’s still a solid asset for these last 2 years.
You can’t expect a HR with every day 2 pick. Hitting a single or a double every now and then is still much better than striking out.
Just look at some of the other WR’s taken that year after him like Parris Campbell and JJ Arcega-Whiteside.

Yes. Hardman is a hustle double right now. He played a critical role in the Super Bowl run (big plays/explosion while Hill was out, return game, huge return against the Texans), critical enough you can make a case they fall short without him.

Most offenses would take a step down if they lost their #1 or #2 WR. Also, the last time one of them missed significant action (Hill in 2019) Hardman slid into that role and had good production.

Hill and Kelce suck up targets as they should.

This is a simple concept. People seem to overlook it. If Travis Kelce was a WR and Hardman was a TE, would people freak out about his production?

Imagine if we had Terry McLaurin?
Hill, McLaurin, Kelce ...
I think Veach fixes this next draft/free agency.
Darnell Mooney went in the 5th last year and he is better than Mecole.

If the Chiefs had Terry McLaurin, Chiefs fans still wouldn't be happy with his production because he'd been getting 5-6 targets a game.
