That's a valid point. I guess I should say, I thought he was a reach. I thought Hunt was more of a fourth round guy — looks good on a middle of the pack football team and has some physical attributes, but doesn't have everything you're looking for in player or from a school that has that kind of turnover with good players. He may have looked good at SMU, but Emmanuel Sanders is the only other guy in the NFL I can think of from there.

And no, being from a school like LSU or USC or OSU doesn't automatically mean they'll play in the NFL, or that small schools don't occasionally produce great players, but the draft is playing the odds. And when the bulk of the players in the league come from 19-20 schools, the odds are better they'll give you a player that's going to be able to play at the NFL level than a school that's got three or four guys.
