According to all 32 NFL teams he was a fourth rounder despite being healthy and having no character issues.

Guess who I think has more credibility.

......and no, according to his scouting reports and his bio....I've linked them for you numerous times, I'm not going to do it again.

Not surprised that you did not even know who he was.

Not so fast......

Quote:A team will take Margus Hunt higher than his film justifies. Hunt is as raw from a technique standpoint as they come. Picking up the game in 2009 it shows in his game as he has little sense for block recognition and feel for the game. He’s a major project that can contribute on special teams immediately. At worst, I think he’s a guy that you could try at tight end if there isn’t a future at DE. Hunt needs to add some bulk to his frame in the hopes that a 30 front team will see him as a five-technique. I think that’s his best fit at the next level but will likely only be used in sub-packages due to issues in run defense. Hunt probably gets drafted in the 2nd to 3rd round range but I wouldn’t touch him before the 4th round.

SI called his NFL future "a mystery"....and added.....

Quote:For NFL teams, the draft is as much a challenge in deciphering a player's upside as it is picking apart his current skills. Perhaps no 2013 prospect is as much a walking Rubik's Cube as Hunt.

From Yahoo.....

Quote:While I stop short of saying that Margus Hunt is a Mike Mamula-style workout wonder who doesn't have what it takes to succeed in the NFL, there's a lot of work to be done here. As athletic as he is, and as much as that athleticism shows up on tape in fits and starts, there are far too many plays in which Hunt is a non-factor when he shouldn't be.

.....but yeah, most saw the guy as 2nd to 3rd round project.  Interestingly enough, the guy who pegged him as a 4th rounder, pretty much nailed it.  They all said he needed to coached up to be an NFL caliber starter, I guess the staff failed another "project"

.....but the point was, the casual fan most likely doesn't know who Margus Hunt is, and still doesn't.
