Yeah... that's a nice spider.   Needs to get stronger... and maybe add a little weight.  And learn technique.   Likely a stash on the bottom of the roster red shirt candidate.  He might even suffer a season ending hangnail in training camp.

They aren't going to cut a 3rd rounder so you'd have to imagine this ends Patrick Johnson's run with the team and the Oren Burks and Julian Okwara signings don't mean much now.

DE/Edge is going to be BG, Sweat, Huff, Hunt, Smith and Baun.

Inside will be Dean, White and BVS

Burks is going to make the team for special teams alone, if nothing else. Patrick Johnson doesnt belong at all. Okwara probably wont make it.

We got Brian Burns after trading down a bunch! Nice!

Hunt is 6-4 247. How much weight do people think he needs to put on? 20 lbs? DeVonta Smith did that in 3 months. He'll be a monster by TC once he's in the Eagles facility!

I could see Hunt going to IR for a redshirt year. He needs to hit the weights.

He’s top 8% all time in RAS.

Definitely better than "merely good”.

Top 7%

Berman said on their draft show he doesn’t think Hunt will play until 2026.

Howie been on fire so far, so have to trust if Fangio pushed for Hunt he's giving his new DC what he wants. Mitchell & DeJawn are great picks so it's great draft so far regardless.

I expect that bench press to increase

Baun might be a LB that they might use as a rush edge from time to time.

Hope I’m wrong but that feels very davion Taylor-esque type pick.

No. He needs to practice. A redshirt year would be a disaster.

All if takes is 5-10 minutes of research to see that Daniel Jeremiah had him as his 64th ranked prospect and a lot of people had him as a top 100 pick so calling it a reach is just stupid, lazy, and factually incorrect.

It's weird how upset people get about strangers not liking a pick. Who cares why they do or don't like someone? Let them be wrong if you think that's the case

Taylor was projected to be a 5th round pick. Hunt was a 3rd-4th round projection.

I thought Johnson was a really solid ST player teams player too. It will be interesting how teams build their core ST units with the new kickoff rules this year. I'm sure that will have teams making some different bottom of the roster decisions.

For those calling Hunt old, he just turned 23. That’s older for normal drafts. That’s not bad at all for the Covid years.

I meant in terms of he was unlikely to see the field for a year maybe two. In Taylor’s case he never really made it at all

No it's just annoying when people like you whine for the sake of whining when you have no clue what you are talking about.

Eagles new edge is actually Andrew Bernard, but he saw something he shouldn't have, and they put him into witness protection at Houston Christian, with a name change.

And on the flipside, DeJean just turned 21.

Hey late 3rd round picks and beyond my expectations are lowered anyway. We got two beasts and I'm ecstatic.
