Correct, the difference between the 5th round and a top ten pick is millions.

However, doubt he would last until the 5th this year, and its tough to say he jumps to a top 10 pick next year.

Hope he makes that jump tho

If he blew his combine away, there is no telling how high he would climb. His ability to knock down balls alone is worth a lot to a D. A decent combine and I would expect 3rd or 4th round. Can definitely climb to the 1st with another year of improvement.

Nice edit

The difference between 5th round and top of the 2nd round is MILLIONS! He doesn't need to be a top 10 pick to make a huge chunk of change more.

2014 top of 2nd 5.55 mill contract 2.35 mill bonus
2014 top of 5th 2.51 mill contract 215k bonus

Hell, just going from top of the 3rd to top of the 2nd would make him a lot more upfront money plus millions more over the course of that contract.

2014 top of 3rd 3.19 mill contract 703k bonus

IMO, he's a possible 3rd rounder. Why not come back and try to make a couple mill upfront? He needs to get stronger and create a pass rush.

Agreed. The only way Hunter is going to radically improve his position is to demonstrate that he can gain good weight. He doesn't have Mingo's speed, so he needs to be able to hold his own against the monsters who play OT in the NFL.
