In space no one can hear Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 41. Buffalo — WR James Hardy, Indiana After landing the draft's top corner in the first round, the Bills were able to find another big receiver other than Devin Thomas to take some attention away from Lee Evans and open up the offense for Trent Edwards and Marshawn Lynch. Hardy would have been a Pittsburgh Steeler and the first receiver drafted had Rashard Mendenhall been off the board. He could be a dominant red zone player and create mismatches with his tremendous size.
Huuuge Bills Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 We are really lucky that he lasted that long. I'm Dumbfounded at some of the WR's chosen before him.
ax4782 Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 We are really lucky that he lasted that long. I'm Dumbfounded at some of the WR's chosen before him. I was very surprised too. But hey, that's the draft.
deep2evans Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Incredible he fell so far....thrilled to have him.
JuanGuzman Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Mayock also guessed that the Steelers were going to select Hardy in the first round right before the Mendenhall selection came down. So maybe there are some legs to the rumour anyway there was clearly no consensus # 1 receiver in the game, I'm still shocked Donnie Avery was first off the board.
3cheesenacho Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 I couldnt believe that we still had so many of the top receivers to choose from with that pick- I would of been happy with Sweed or Kelly also
Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Nice find. That makes me that much happier. I could totally see Hardy going to Pittsburgh. It would not have been a surprising selection whatsoever.
BuffaloBilliever Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Couldn't believe Hardy/Sweed/Kelly fell that far. I called my dad and immediately said "Wow, no WR drafted in the first round, Jordy is gone (he knew I liked him) but three of the others I wanted are still there at 41!" I made no pick, I didn't even say we'd take McKelvin at 11, but for all three of the people I was afraid of losing to fall that far? Amazing. James Hardy/Lee Evans/Roscoe Parrish/Josh Reed. Yes. Just yes
BillsD#1in2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 I am so thrilled well maybe this is our year because come on McKelvin lasted till 11 and James Hardy lasted until 41....the first day of the draft really worked out well for us and i can smell it now boys.....this year we will finally return to the playoffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lets_go_bills Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 We are really lucky that he lasted that long. I'm Dumbfounded at some of the WR's chosen before him. Yeah, but you won't here me complaining. Great draft.
HurlyBurly51 Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Nice find. That makes me that much happier. I could totally see Hardy going to Pittsburgh. It would not have been a surprising selection whatsoever. Well they ended up getting Sweed, so they did alright. No way to tell until they play who made out best.

Just yes Reed frightens no one; except the Bills fans
