I want a replacement for Smith- as good or better than he has been. He was a #18 overall pick, came in and has been a fixture for 9 years. That secures the position across from Jordan. We still have Galette and Wilson in the development department of the exact skill we are aiming for. Hunt could end up being a JPP fast development story (or like Graham). More likely he will be a 3rd down player to start and may increase (like Hicks). I'm not wanting a could or may player at mid 1st Rd. I want RDE filled for years to come. Galette or Wilson could still come on stronger as pass rush riches problem to deal with.

We'll have to see where Hunt's draft stock settles. He's still more of a wildcard to be defined than a surefire elite 1st Rder.

It's way too early to tell for sure, but of the few mock drafts I've looked at, they had him going late first or early second round.

At the combine is where guys like this usually jump up a few picks if they test well. (See JPP & Tyson Jackson)
