Usually if you draft a guy that has no craft, can't run routes-that player still sucks at it in the NFL.
When we drafted Hardman we passed on guys like McLaurin and Diontae Johnson.
Yes there is a a learning curve as to learning playbook, offense, adapting to NFL speed.
But McLaurin was running those crisp, precise routes at Ohio State while Hardman wasn't.

This is an excellent take. It's also the exact reason that no NFL teams employ wide receiver coaches and the WRs are never required to practice because if they weren't All Americans in college they won't be good in the NFL.
