Hardy is super athletic and was super productive in his one year. I do wonder if he is too small to play edge and is more destined to play off ball MLB.

Hardy a ST guy to start off with? 230-235 pretty lite for OLB.

I have him at 6'3" and 240lbs.
The Rams lost two OLB's in Von Miller & Okoronkwo, so we might want to keep Hardy on the 53 since we have the room. Garrett remained on the 53 last season as we were probably afraid of having him plucked off the Practice Squad, Hardy may be in a similar situation.
jmo.
 
Our most recent preseason hall of famer :D

Daniel Hardy has a chance to be pretty good. He's coming in raw but he could play as a situational pass rusher. The kid is fast, in terms of long speed he's faster than AD. He's the same height as well. They say he's undersized to play outside but AD plays a 5T often. He needs to really clean up his technique and if he does he can be a pretty good addition to the D front. He's an interesting player to be taken so late. But he dropped because he's undersized, and not a complete player. That said he's a two year project but he can play as he develops.
 

That is funny, but Garrett was def a standout because when he got those two sacks in a preseason game, the entire D was losing their damn minds jumping up and down which tells me that he wasn't just a camp body or some ST guy who's gone in a year... game recognizes game and the Rams defensive players loved this kid.

Doesn't hurt my feelings to get another guy like that.

Plus, I bet Garrett is north of 245 now and rounding into NFL form to be a pass rush specialist.

Love the motor and get off of that guy...
 
Wow another safety! Tells you what Coach Rah thinks of his DB room.
