Even during thin years, you can find a BPA and plug him in within a year or two. Hunt was an uncharacteristic reach for us in the second.
Hunt was not a reach in the second round. That is exactly where he was projected to go. He wasn't some guy who had never played football in the U.S. before. He was a 3 year starer at SMU who was selected First Team All Conference as a Senior and the MVP of their bowl game.
He did not live up to his draft status, but neither do a lot of other 2nd round picks. Nine other players from the second round of the '13 draft have never become starters.
