Hunt is the only one we didn’t really see coming. Unless he had issues in college that I didn’t hear about.

that's true through a certain lens. I would argue that who gets all-world performance from a 5th round draft pick? I would argue that anything more than special teams fodder for a few years is good value in the 5th round.
How many RB's are truly dominant for more than 3 or 4 years? Hunt unfortunately gave us 2. There was nothing in his background that said 'BIG RISK'. I still think he's a good guy, just has a problem. I also think that Reid schemes production from his RB's and always has. Note that Damien Williams actually had a higher ypc than Hunt. So that hole is filled.
Peters was a risk, and everyone knew it, that's why he fell to us in the first place. We still got 3 good years from him. That's not really a bust, but it's not ideal I'll grant you that.
