BleedinBlue Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I've been taking a long look at DE Margus Hunt. What a monster. Another German guy. Set all kinds of world records in Junior Olympics for shot put and discus throw. Competed at an Olympic level in the hammer throw. Took up football at SMU. 6'8" / 275 freaky strong, freaky fast for his size From Wiki (via Dallas News): "For nearly 10 years, Bruce Feldman, a writer for CBSSports.com, has annually compiled what he calls a "Freak List" of the 10 college football players he considers the most freakish athletes. In 2012, Hunt was on top of his list. According to Feldman, Hunt "sounds like a PlayStation football creation" — despite his 82-inch (2.1 m) wingspan, he is able to bench press 225 pounds (102 kg) 35 times, and has also cleaned 384 pounds (174 kg) and snatched 345 pounds (156 kg). Hunt also boasts a 36-inch (91 cm) vertical jump. Wollman predicted that Hunt would have 45 repetitions and a 4.6-second 40-yard dash at the 2013 NFL combine. Hunt did, in fact, run a 4.60-second 40-yard dash and did 38 bench press repetitions while posting a vertical leap of 34.5-inch (88 cm) at the 2013 combine". Would love to pick this guy up tomorrow. Bookend him with JPP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedinBlue Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I would of never seen the Giants drafting him after signing Meyers(sp) Yeah...I knew we wouldn't pull the trigger although He's going to be really good. After Cincy's team blows up again, we'll be able to pick him up for a 4th or 5th round pick down the road. Then he'll blossom into a star for us!

JMFP Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 If Reese goes offense in the 2nd round you can kiss this defense goodbye in 2013. Linebackers are going to suck dong again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It simply makes one start grabbing and getting called for holding. Whenever I see an OT get beat, it's rarely because a guy's arm length is an inch shorter than it could be. As far as I'm concerned, offensive lineman need to be SMART football players and know how to stay low and move laterally when necessary or push back for a run play. Arm length is more important for a DE who is reaching for a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arm length is more important for a DE who is reaching for a QB. DVR'd the draft because I was out tonight. Pugh is a good pick....Mayock likes him, and actually predicted the Giants were going to take him before the pick was announced. I like Mayock as a draft analyst, and he's also got a good feel for the G-Men. Anyway, offensive line was a big issue last year, and this should help protect Eli and open some holes for Wilson. But they really need to focus hard on defense next, unless some complete steal lands in their lap. Khaseem Greene (LB/Rutgers) should be available when the Giants pick.....he's got the speed and range to be a perfect fit for Fewell's scheme......he was a converted safety, so he'd be an excellent LB in long yardage situations.

JMFP Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Not to sidetrack the thread, but the most impressive defender I saw was Datone Jones for the Packers....that kid is the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allstarjim Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Pugh is a good pick but why him when ogletree was on the board? Because Ogletree is a flat out knucklehead that is lucky he went in the first at all. Ogletree is the Pacman Jones of this draft, except with less talent.

Allstarjim Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Yeah, a couple of people were fans, but he has gotten in a ton of trouble, and reportedly was one of the worst interviews at the combine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nas Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Pugh is a good pick but why him when ogletree was on the board? Olgetree had a bit of hype inserted with him.

JackStroud Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 perhaps the Giants should have traded back and taken Pugh in the second round....the way people are stockpiling O linemen though, he might have been long gone The Cowboys pick was incredibly baffling..........the guy was projected 3rd or 4th round????
