Im not big on saying who we should draft or our needs. What do you guys think about Hunt? He is a projected First Rounder who is still a little Raw. DT seems to be our pressing need and Hunt is a DE, so hes not a need for us. His height and strength to bust through O Linemen from the tape is just awe striking. Anyways, thoughts?

Not a fan of taking older prospects who are still raw. The guy has great physical skills but will be 26 when the season starts and he isn't ready to be a starter right away. He may have great potential but he'll be 30 by the time he reaches it. If we go after a 5-tech I'd rather have Short, Logan, or Sylvester Williams.

I'd be socked of he goes first rounds he was a no show at the senior bowl. He's too raw, and by the time he gets the game down he could be past it.

he had a ok game at the senior bowl and only flashed once or twice. but how bout Ziggy ansah he had a great game only thing is one on one he did ok but full team he goes hard every play. what you think him?

I wouldn't take Hunt. He's just not developed yet. He has potential, but I can think of many players I would rather have over him. If he was further along, then I'd take him in the 2nd even with his age. But when you combine age and inexperience and poor techniques, you have just an athlete who will need time to develop that he may not have. No thanks. I'd rather spend that pick on D. Jones.

I seriously think Ansah will be long gone before our pick. I think the farthest he falls is the Giants.

Like they need him. I've never seen such a greedy organization in my life, lol. They are stacked at DE. Stacked.

Isnt Osi a FA? Tuck is getting older too. Pairing Ansah with JPP is a terrifying thought.

Yeah, Osi is and Tuck is getting older but I thought they had more depth behind those guys. I have to take a look at their roster. I forget honestly.

But them and the Texans seem to get more and more players where they are loaded. Perhaps that's a good thing but it annoys me because they get guys I really like.

Ya I am on the bus of not wanting Hunt. For a man his size he shows very little strength. If he goes to a 34 team and plays End I think he will have a rough couple of years. He plays with bad leverage and is purely an athlete at this point. I like him alot more in a 43 but still think he will have a hard time adjusting as he is rather stiff and limited as a pass rusher (technique wise)

[gabefergy]

Hunt has more upside than a lot of players in this draft. He can definitely afford to get stronger and his frame looks like he can add some good weight. If he puts on 10-15 lbs and has a year or two to learn the craft I think he can be a dominant force at the 5T. That said, he wont be able to come in as a rookie and be anything more than maybe a situational pass-rusher IMO. Is he worth a 2nd round pick? I used to think so, but maybe that is a bit of a reach. I would take him in the 3rd round though.

Datone Jones in the imapct player I would rather have in the 2nd although he might be gone by then.
