Felt like we could’ve picked Hunt up with one of the 30 4th and 5ths we have. Grabbed in ILB, then him. 

nope

Jalyx Hunt was the #64th prospect on Daniel Jeremiah's prospect list, #86 on PFF.  He's been on the NFL network's "Best available" list most of the night.  I'm not sure why everyone is acting like he's some massive unknown reach. He's just a raw project player. 

Because they never heard of him and they have heard of Payton Wilson. It's like a 5 year old who doesn't get the toy they wanted.

We are 3 for 3 drafting players we had in for top 30 visits.

I’m fine grabbing Trotter Jr with one of our 4th and having him and Dean battle for that spot

Agree. Adding him for depth & development is fine.

@Don Corleone what's up man? We see you lurking & liking. Hope you're doing well. 

Same soup, just reheated, fren. Everything is golden, man, no complaints. How all is well with you, and your family.

Well, hope Trotter Jr. is there for our 4th...

They’ll probably take Trotter Jr if available in the 4th.  They’d love a feel good sentimental pick, need LB depth, and it’s not going to be a great board anyway.

That's not what you want in round 3.

Baker, McGee, Wright, McCormick…

yes.

And I do believe we have enough picks now. Howie is dominating.

so pissed I have a double header baseball event tomorrow. Starting of course right at 12. 

Its gonna be a fun day of the draft.

Apparently Fangio really likes Hunt and was the driving force behind the pick.

What time does the draft start tmw?

When Howie says it starts. Since you posted that, he traded back and now owns all the picks in the 4th round. He's just gonna sumbit a whole list at once.

:roll:

Funny thing is I was joking about him not having ACLs and I was half right. 😂 Hope he has a decent career with the Steelers. Really talented kid.

The amount of people who literally know ZERO about Jalyx Hunt calling it a wasted pick is absolutely hilarious, and I’m here for all of it. 

How many people ACTUALLY know a lot about him? I doubt anyone here was passionately watching Houston Christian University games. There's a possible high ceiling, but there's a possibility of a floor that is equally as low.

Hope he can make something of him. Seems like he needs an NFL strength program bad

We're good. Work, school, almost a year in our brand new house. Health, friends, things are blessed.

I like taking an edge. Losing Reddick sucked so shooting for the stars with a guy like Hunt at least keeps the door cracked - even if we need to wait for development.

Address LB, WR, RB, and maybe a few Stout shots in the dark tomorrow and get more 2025 picks. I would’ve been fine walking away this draft with just Mitchell and DeJean.

They brought in Johnny Wilson for a visit didn't they?

If payton Wilson stays healthy and works out and Hunt turns into another small school reach Howie is going to get dragged.

If Mitchell and DeJean are who we think they are, no one will give a damn.

Cooper DeJean is an Eagle. That is the big takeaway from today.

I'll trust him on it. He'll just be depth to develop anyway.

The most pro-ready and best LB in the draft.

But hey we got a project from a Division 17 school. Yay!

Hey that's a Division 17 school guy with 2 ACLs and both shoulders to you buddy.

Trotter jr would be a cool story, but Stephen Hawking was more athletic.
