STRENGTHS: Not an elite speed player, but accelerates well with subtle quickness off the line of scrimmage to shake press. Intuitive target and finds soft coverages to exploit defenses. Excellent depth in his routes and works back to the ball, always trying to get open. Terrific job with body fakes to sell patterns. Quick footwork with concentration through the process, showing the ability to refocus on the move. Natural ballskills with sticky hands and a large catching radius, attacking the ball, not allowing it to come to him. Quick-thinker and has his next move figured out before the catch. Not content with just catching the ball and took advantage of catch-and-go designed plays in college. Tracks well with easy adjustments. Plays with urgency and competes on each snap, finishing runs and improvising when needed. High football intelligence. Heady and willing blocker and more than adequate in this area. Primary punt return duties the last three seasons (63/495/7.9). Soft-spoken, but confident and always trying to prove himself. Consistent workmanlike effort with meticulous practice habits. The most productive receiver in FBS history with a record 387 career catches and his 4,541 receiving yards ranks third all-time in FBS history. Won 2014 Burlsworth Trophy as nation?s top walk-on.
WEAKNESSES: Solid upper body bulk, but below average height, strength and lower body build ? unimpressive physical presence. Not a quick-twitch athlete, which shows in his breaks with only average start/stop movements ? mediocre separation traits. Pedestrian straight-line speed and defenders can catch up to him even if initially beat. Not a home run threat, won?t stretch the field. Inconsistent in contested situations, struggling to finish with defenders in his face. Swallowed up too easily. Production slightly inflated after seeing 15-20 targets every game.


I would love to grab him in the third I think he is gunna be a great pro. He does lack the speed and size but his production doesn't lie and I think he would be a great Stills replacement. What do y'all think?

Hes a projected 3rd I doubt he falls all the way to 5th.

If they don't take a WR in the 1st or 2nd rd, I like Rashad Greene in the 3rd.

I wouldn't be opposed to Green. I feel like he and Hardy are pretty similar.

Not a glowing review. With a real need at WR, I'd think the team will take a risk on a player with a better profile. If you're going to sacrifice height, you need speed. If you don't have height or speed, that's not the ingredients teams look for.

I'd be surprised if we picked Hardy....even in the 5th round.

Not in a place to link videos, but Stefon Diggs from Maryland seems like a Saints pick. Physical talent, go to guy, injured a year ago. Late round steal.

Hardy reminds me a lot of Jarvis Landry.
