Hayden Hurst has (3!) touchdowns over three years and now he's a first rounder.

Yeah and everyone wants Ridley who caught only 5 tds last year.

3 touchdowns over 3 years is not good. that's only one touchdown per year effectively.

a 1 TD per year rate doesn't sound like a first rounder. argue how bad USC's system is all you want, it just shows he can't be an impact player in unfavorable circumstances.

steven: "LOL! That WR you want only had 5 TDs last year!"

everyone else: "LOL! That TE you want only has 3 TDs in his entire college career!"

Just stop mentioning TDs as an evaluation criteria if you're championing Hurst at #24.

a 1 TD per year rate doesn't sound like a first rounder who'd be prepared to take on the role a 1st rounder is expected to take.

Yeah nobody looks at the QB that was throwing to him. Almost sounds like the top QBs in the draft everyone says this guy is the best but his numbers looked terrible. Well it's because the wrs were really bad and you can't blame that on the QB.

And by the way I don't look at TDs, all of you so called football analysts look at that.

Just saw this guy had 3 tds in 3 years lmao! And he’s the oldest guy on the field!

I don't want Hurst personally.  I'd go Goedert if I had to get a TE or better yet wait and see on Andrews or Schultz or Herndon later in the draft.

Yet you continue to harp on it as a knock on Ridley.

I gotta learn my lesson about trying to engage in conversation with people who have an IQ of room temperature.

Guys, Hurst will not be the pick at 24. Maybe if they trade out of the first, but he won't be taken at 24.

Moore, Ragnow and Alexander all make much more sense than Hurst and I can't see all of them being gone by 24. If they are, then someone higher on the board will have fallen.

[Growl]

there are plenty of reasons you don't draft a OG in the first, but let's analyze the fascinating contradiction in play on this board

 

This board, rightfully, agreed almost in unison with idea of letting Norwell walk because you don't pay OGs that much. Norwell is a former UDFA.  Those same people, inevitably, are against drafting Hurst because "he's already 25!!!!" whilst simultaneously endorsing us to use, emphasis here, a **1st round pick*** on an OG that we would only have for how long? Five years. Because if the OG was even good, nobody here is going to want the team to pay a OG the substantially more money that the former 1st round pick is going to command than the former ***"UDFA***.

The same people squealing that we are only going to get an 8-10 year career out of Hayden Hurst are either asking for, or at the very least, enthused about, getting what quite frankly better be no more than 5 years out of an OG. 

 

To say nothing of how simply stupid it is to blow your 1st round pick on a OG on its own merits.
