Hardman wasn't drafted as a slot. He was drafted as an X, IMO (with Sammy shifting to Z and Hill essentially getting bounced from the league), and it didn't work out the way they'd planned, both in positive and negative ways.
Robinson was a flyer.
Who else have they drafted over the last 5 years that they had any reasonable expectation of success with?
I think the reason they drafted Moore is obvious, especially when combined with the addition of MVS and the continued presence of Hardman. They weren't looking to replace Hill's downfield speed - they found that elsewhere.
They were looking to replace Hill's short area quickness.
It's just a matter of pursuing a skill-set. If they don't retain JJSS and/or Hardman, they'll be pursuing completely different skill-sets in this coming draft.
It's not hard to see what they were trying to do. It's just not the route I'd have gone.
