He cut a lot of weight prior to the combine to improve his 40 and got a below average 4.62 for his efforts. At his playing weight, he's probably around 4.7. The tape backs it - the guy is genuinely slow.

Besides, with his running style the answer isn't 'just cut weight'. He's a one cut, turn upfield kind of runner when he's being effective. He needs to be at 215-220, IMO. Speed will never be an asset for him.

No?
Hell be Khunt. Might be same kind of speed as west but guess what.. dude doesnt go down to arm tackles, bullshit tackles, shoulder tackles, or anything else other than a wraparound full on real big boy tackle. That alone puts him above West. |

I thought the pick was okay, but after doing some research it looks like he could be off brand LeVeon Bell if he reaches his ceiling. I can live with that for the allocation of a mid 3rd rd resource. |

Seems to me like he's another Priest Holmes. I'd love to have Priest Holmes on this roster.

To me, Hunt seems to have a bit of Marshawn Lynch in him. Tremendous strength, balance and vision with decent, but definitely not elite, speed. Would not surprise me to see this guy ending up as our starter before season's end. Really like this pick!!!

That's the way I see it. I know he was playing at 225lbs, last I heard he was down to 208. Has he dropped anymore weight?

Years of Jamaal Charles have spoiled us. Reality is, he was really a non-factor the past two seasons and the run game was still respectable.
There are more dynamic runners than Hunt, but one cannot argue his four years of production. Durability and ball security are underrated factors about his game. Getting Hunt where the Chiefs got him fit the projection. Decent if not a solid pick. He will get fantastic coaching from Bieniemy don't forget. |

I absolutely love this pick...gonna start from day one, injuries aside.
Wasn't really happy with Tawno, (Project, imo) but this totally makes up for it. Holmes 2.0. |
