Gardner couldn't even make it as a 4th receiver for the panthers and was released. He had one good season and rest was mediocre. Gardner had plenty of time to prove his worth as a 1st rounder. Taylor Jacobs....yes he had unlucky injuries in his first 2 seasons. But, when he got the chance to prove himself this year when Patten went down. He couldn't produce. He may look impressive in practice, but in game situations...he's a waste of a draft pick.

On the other hand, if we could get Charles Rogers at a reasonable price..I think he's worth a try. His situation may be similar to Taylor Jacobs, but I don't think he had any legitimate chances to prove himself. He had Harrington throwing to him one week, then had Garcia throwing to him the other week. Also, I don't think he had a veteran WR to show him the ropes when he turned pro. Detroit has all these top 1st round WR's with no guidance. I think Rogers can be an asset with Patten, Moss, and Thrash showing him the ropes.
