A young Chad Johnson.

I loved watching Hardman's long TD, but I also loved watching him dive head first into a pile to recover the fumble by Watkins. And he wasn't exactly close when the fumble happened. He sprinted a couple of yards and dove, and somehow was credited with the recovery. That was a great play too.

Very true. It's turned into a luxury situation for them now.

Im still of the opinion KC would have drafted Hardman regardless of the Tyreek stuff. Watkins is assumed gone next year, and Robinson is on his last year too. Tyreek wasnt signed. It was looking like the WR corps could have fallen off the table pretty quick.

Once this kid learns to run crisp routes, he’s going to be as indefensible as Tyreek. He seems like a guy that can only run half the route tree so far. I can’t wait to see how he will look next year after an offseason to work on route running.

The fact the 2 of them are here the next 4 years is just crazy to think about.

It’s awesome how well he’s doing based on pretty much strictly his speed.

Once he learns to run routes that set up defenders for the speed, he’s going to be extremely special.

You can say that again.

He's going to be a difference maker if everyone is healthy come the NE game.

[BossChief]

Strange. I wonder why my phone posted that so many times.

My bad.

Pats are not prepared for all the Arrowhead Avengers coming through the portals at once.

Post-Draft Analysis
Hardman runs a 4.33 40-yard dash and is raw as a pass-catcher but is an angle-destroying nightmare with the ball in his hands. If that sounds familiar, it's similar to the discussion we had around Tyreek Hill when he entered the league. With Hill's future clearly in doubt, Hardman doesn't offer insurance so much as a developmental option in that multipurpose/decoy role. -- Chris Sprow

As I called it the time we drafted, a reach, a project.

Pre-Draft Analysis
Campbell is a highly explosive athlete with the second gear to threaten vertically and after the catch. He ran a limited route tree at Ohio State but developed more savvy as a route runner in 2018 and is quick transitioning out of breaks.


Post-Draft Analysis
The Colts signed Devin Funchess this offseason, but it's a one-year deal and they needed to continue to add depth. Campbell -- and his 4.33 40 speed -- gives QB Andrew Luck a big-play threat with the potential to develop into an excellent complement to T.Y. Hilton. -- Steve Muench

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why take on a project now when we need production now and it's wise / best to go with the all around well polished receiver, keep in mind the speed is .03 difference.

Who is going to have the better year this year?

Campbell in Indy.

Hardman in KC.

Just a simple question, both have good QB's.

A project?

Mecole made two huge plays today no one will talk about.

1. He recovered the fumble on the first possession.

2. He fielded a very difficult free kick at the end of the game to all but ice it - that is an uncomfortable situation for a rookie and he had ice in his veins.

It's pretty clear he has a lot of intangibles.
