Show me what you got, Margus, but not too much... I want you to fall to round 3 so the FO can swoop in and nab you.

[Marinomanx013]

Hunt has a sack-fumble, a pressure, and a sack for a safety so far... I've only been watching this game for 10 real-time minutes.

[morphius12812003]

OMG, Margus Hunt is absolutely dominating this game.  Single handed he is making this an SMU shut-out.  3 sacks, 3 TFL, 2 force fumbles and a safety IN THE FIRST HALF.  Geeze, he is an absolute perfect fit for a 3-4 DE.  Unfortunate, because we are not fit for that scheme with our current players.

[BigEd76]

Hunt was a beast.  If he does well at the combine, I could see him shooting up to the 2nd round

[morphius12812003]

Yeah, you can see the raw talent.  He has the size/speed.  He needs some coaching on pursuit angles, hand moves, etc. but from that game, you can obviously see he belongs in the NFL.

[Marinomanx013]

I ran through a scenario where we'd switch to a 3-4 D and drafted Star Lotulelei in R1 and Hunt in R3. Obviously that might be a little too D-line heavy and too reliant upon rookies...

but imagine a front 3 of Cox-Lotulelei-Hunt a few years down the road... that could be obscenely deadly.

[morphius12812003]

Yeah alot of ifs' there, but fun to play scenarios with.

He's a 25 year-old man facing a freshmen RT from Fresno State... let's see if M.Hunt is still all-world at the senior bowl before anointing him Watt 2.0

[morphius12812003]

He was doubled, tripled, and chipped, but still found a way to disrupt.  In the second half the rolled opposite his side, and ran to the weak side, but he still made his presence felt.  I didn't annoint him anything, I said he would be a good fit in a 3-4, and said he has talent to play on Sundays.
