1310 The Ticket: Margus Hunt Talk

I don't know if anyone caught this but around 2:50pm today on BaD Radio show they randomly brought up Margus Hunt and whether they'd draft someone like him Top 10/1st Round in the NFL Draft. They didn't remember his name, he was simply "the SMU guy who blocks all those kicks", but the hypothetical was "if you had someone [like Margus] who could block 1 out of every 10 kicks, or about 1 kick a game (but could do nothing else on the football field), would you draft him Top 10/1st Round. It turned into a yelling match of "hell yes" and "no way" but it's pretty cool that as a sophomore, some people are thinking of Margus as draft-able in the high rounds. Wish they would've known his name...they will.

Corby was the lone ranger on taking him in the top 10. Bob, Dan, and Mike both said draftable late round. Donovan said free agent. They were talking about his kick blocking ability alone. Hopefully he can become that dominant DE that the coaches said he can be, and he would get drafted for not just special teams.

Also, he doesn't block 1 out of 10 kicks.

because our opponents are afraid of him they kick around him.

Right. It was a hypothetical player or a "what if Margus ____".

Yeah, I know. It was a funny bit. I agree.

Ur best DE and upside is Thompson, Margus still learning, Thompson makes the interior pushes for Margus success in making the block
