The Facts:
With the 41st pick in the 2008 NFL Draft -- the 10th pick in Round 2, the Bills select Indiana's Hardy. Reported by FootballDiehards.com

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Lacking a solid compliment to work opposite Lee Evans, Hardy lands in an ideal situation. ... According to his NFL.com scouting report, the 6-6, 220-pound Hardy is a tall, lanky receiver with a great reach and excellent leaping ability whose jump ball skills will create nightmares for smaller cornerbacks. Those defenders generally get into lots of trouble trying to stop Hardy from getting to the jump balls, evident by the 10 pass interference penalties charged to those covering Hardy in 2007. He lacks the bulk, strength and explosive burst that Plaxico Burress -- a player with a similar body type -- has, but used on fades or bubble screens, Hardy is sure to move the chains. Still, he is going to have to dedicate a few hours to the weight room, as lack of strength could become an issue, especially trying to beat the jam.
