Are there bargains to be found on young players with draft pedigree, similar to the Green Bay Packers’ signing of Mecole Hardman? Yes, and here are some possibilities.

The Green Bay Packers have signed a new wide receiver. He has Super Bowl credentials and has a Pro Bowl and All-Pro on his resume. Mecole Hardman might not be the player or players Packers fans had expected at the start of free agency but his versatility and speed appears to fit the mold of what the team covets.

GREEN BAY – The Packers have added veteran Mecole Hardman to their receiving corps. Hardman, who turned 27 last week, has amassed 2,492 all-purpose yards and 19 total touchdowns in 80 regular-season appearances over six NFL seasons spent with Kansas City and the New York Jets.
