Are you all in on CB Travis Hunter at 4 (Hunter as a WR?)

[gobesmug]

They won one Super Bowl. That’s great. But winning one Super Bowl in 10+ years with one of the top 3 QB’s of all time, is actually a pretty big let down.

Brady, Eli, Mahomes, and Big Ben are the only QBs since 2000 to win more than 1 superbowl with the same team. That's it, 4 QBs.

Brady has made Patsfans a bunch of entitles dbags who can't appreciate a good thing.

There are still teams in the NFL that haven't won a superbowl.

Winning 1 superbowl in a 10 year period is an amazing accomplishment. What the Pats did with Brady had never been done before.

Hunter intrigue's me. I think his value is because he was a dual threat in College
That will not happen in the pro’s full time. I don’t think he is a top of the draft WR. Those go to tall Franchise WR’s

So scanning the top 15 receivers from the past season, and comparing them to Hunter.

Travis Hunter : 6' 188

Ja'Marr Chase : 6' 205 1:5
Justin Jefferson : 6'1 195 1:22
Jerry Jeudy : 6'1 195 1:15
Malik Nabers : 6' 200 1:6
Garret WIlson : 6' 183 1:10

Hunter won’t be there,
Giants bringing in all kinds of QBS.

If either Hunter or Carter is there at 4--you take them. No brainer.
2 best players in the entire draft.
Either one improves the team more than any other player available. It's not complicated.
I like Phil Perry's latest mock which has us taking Hunter at 4 and trading back into the 1st to nab Conerly. That would be the ideal scenario imo.

Three biggest reasons for that, in whatever order you want:

Dungy. BB. TB12.

IF Travis Hunter runs 4.30 or 4.40 he's won't be there @ 4.

 

[Spiral]

If the Patriots get ahead in a game, he plays CB--if they get behind, he plays WR.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

He's not going to be in BOTH Team meetings.

 

[RobertWeathers]

He's not going to be in BOTH Team meetings.

Why not? When JE 11 and Troy Brown had double duty they sat in on DB meetings.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

FULL MEETINGS.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Why not? When JE 11 and Troy Brown had double duty they sat in on DB meetings.

Agreed. I still think you are right in guessing Hunter will be a FS as well as WR.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

FULL MEETINGS.

Full meetings or half meetings does not matter. Hunter will slowly work his way to both sides of the ball. I am guessing he starts at WR and is added in as a FS.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Agreed. I still think you are right in guessing Hunter will be a FS as well as WR.

He did play some FS at CO so he has some understanding of the responsibilities.

It makes too much sense. That way instead of chasing a WR around full time and tire quickly, he can sit back in zone and pick up a player deep and still make an impact.

I do assume they'll use him as a boundary and slot CB also.

This probably means he's hearing positive buzz surrounding Sanders going top 3 along with Ward, which would leave one of Hunter or Carter available at 4.

With all 3800 of his folliwers? He is nobody
Giants are taking Hunter at 3, Browns taking Carter at 2.
Giants would get crucified for taking Sanders at 3. Not happening..

The lack of followers is concerning. His bio suggests he's done work for PFF but he could be lying, I don't know.

I have a bad feeling about the Giants snatching up Hunter at 3, but I wouldn't rule out Sanders. How we think of him is not necessarily how NFL teams think. A lot of people thought Zach Wilson and Trey Lance were being overrated in 2021 and they still went high in the draft. Daboll is coaching for his job and he may hope getting a new QB can earn him more time.

 

[KCSVEN]

I keep watching scouting videos on all the potential #4 picks not named Carter or Hunter. So far, I don't like anybody else at 4. I'm not sure what I would do if a trade down was not feasible (offered crap to trade down).

If there was one guy that I would say will have a decade plus career and guaranteed to be a very good player, it is Campbell but that's with the knowledge worst case he moves to guard.

Jeanty probably next but as a RB just tough to do that so high in the draft when RB's can be good starters drafted in rounds 2-4 and wr/o-line are much bigger needs.

Membou was a 3rd round prospect not too long ago. is now consensus 8th best player on the board and been mocked to Pats in some mocks now. I think he's a RT for year 1 at best and a bit of a learning curve with him, though he is young and can develop fast I see no way he plays LT year 1.

My hunch says Hunter is going to be there at 4 but maybe I'm just projecting my hopes and dreams.
Otherwise, I think we end up with Campbell and hope he can play LT.
I don't really see what else the Pats would do if forced to draft at 4.

Also the Giants just signed Jameis Winston to backup QB money (2 yr, $8m, up to $16m with incentives). Very good chance they’re going QB assuming the Titans and Browns don’t take Ward and Sanders back to back.
