This was Hunter as a WR.  I am not seeing the great accuracy from Sanders that I am being sold on.  Sanders is not "inaccurate," but there were too many throws Hunter had to do some major adjustments to catch.

Rich: Last year I wondered whether, in college, Daniels was making Nabers look good (or vice verse).

Turned out both men were "responsible" for their incredible success.

In this case, however, I think it's clear Hunter was making Sanders' stats appear to be a bit better than they would have been without his presence, and I think the league knows it, too.  Still, I suppose Sanders will sell a lot of hot dogs and T-shirts, so I'm certain (sadly) at least one team will be hoping Sanders will still be there when it's their turn to make a first-round pick. Hopefully, not the Giants.

After watching film on several games, there were times Hunter was wide open but Sanders had to bail the pocket early. The worst designed Offense and the worst Oline.

That said, I think Sanders value is a
Mid First Round. 15-20. Actually Ward and Dart too.

If the Giants sign Wilson, I would draft Travis Hunter or Carter and never look back. Then I would move up from the second round for a QB and hope Dart is there.

I think from playing both sides as WR and CB, Hunter has developed a refine sense of how to make plays on the ball against an opponent.  Like that.

Phil: IMO, including QBs, Hunter could be the most "football-smart" player in the draft, and there's a good chance he'll be in the top 10 of all NFL players in that regard by this time next year, if not sooner. He is one savvy dude (not to mention his incredible physical conditioning). Could be a true "Iron Man." Bob

At 3 I'd be thrilled with any of these:  Ward, Carter, Hunter, Graham.  Anyone else would be a true head-scratcher, IMO.

The great news is that the Giants are guaranteed one of them.

That is, of course, if they don't f#@k up! (NOTE: as in Marissa Tomei giving Joe Pesci a pep talk in "My Coysin Vinny" the night before the trial.)

Peace!

Let's refresh this thread.   There's a real chance Hunter is BPA when we pick. Qb crisis is currently avoided. How would he be used?  I dont want to bench and stop developing Banks. Maybe rotate with Slayton on offense 50% and same with Banks on D?  I'd really love to see him paired with Nabers and Wilson

I would bench Banks and force Banks to prove to me that the Giants should mostly use Hunter as a WR.

If we draft Hunter and he ends up being mostly a WR, I think it's fair to say that the duo of Nabers and Hunter would be among the best in the league.

I read on twitter somebody posing the question: If the Giants draft Hunter is there any pair of skill position players the Giants would reasonably be willing to trade those two guys for?  The answer very well could be no. Chase/Higgins was the closest but those guys are older and paid.

The only other pair worth considering is AJ Brown and Devonte Smith of the Eagles

Man I'm getting torn reading all these threads ... I personally want Mason because I think he fulfills a need an is just as good as Hunter or Carter... getting Graham would essentially have us with no holes on defense


But then you get Carter ... we may have easily the craziest pass rush in the league

Get Hunter .... And Wilson may be a pro bowler throwing to him and Nabers


Damn you pick # 3

I'm feeling the same way. My BBH friends keep changing my mind on who I want! I guess that's what makes this place great. Many smart football people here
