$1 million per year. You have to factor the $ into the equation. I think a 4th rounder sounds about right for Gardner, you could make a case for a 3rd. A second rounder is impossible in my opinion.

2 mil a year is cheap and there will be someone who sees that Gardner is probably more naturally talented than all the WRs this year other than the top 3 or 4. I would agree his pending contract situation is somewhat of a turn off but He will not command marquee money by any strecht so it is not that big a deal. We'll get a 3rd for him.
I would also say Gardner IS a solid WR. He is simply not a 1st round pick type production guy. Drafting a WR in the 3rd round MAY net you a SOLID WR and it may net you a training camp cut...you have no idea. At least with Gardner you know you are getting a guy with experience, talent and a 1000 yd season under his belt. Seems better to me than any crapshoot WR you're gonna get in the 3rd.
