Not even showing replay. :(

Dammit!!!!

 

I would die for James Hurst in the 2nd round. I guess now we can pick him up in the 4th.

Broken leg. http://mweb.cbssports.com/ncaaf/eye-on-college-football/24389747/unc-ot-james-hurst-suffers-broken-leg-in-belk-bowl-win

Heart breaks for him. That sucks so bad for so many reasons.

[DaCityKats]

sucks for him, get well soon. thats why you leave, first chance you get.

[stirs]

Maybe not as bad as originally thought.  Non displaced fracture

 

 

(10:00 AM): Tough break for UNC OT … North Carolina LT James Hurst, a leading second-tier prospect at the position for the 2014 draft, broke his left leg during the Tar Heels’ 39-17 victory against Cincinnati in the Belk Bowl on Saturday and obviously will be sidelined for a while. Hurst, who was starting his 49th career game, has been projected as a second-day pick at the upcoming draft. The injury has been described as a non-displaced fracture in the left fibula, but its not clear how long it will affect Hurst’s preparation for the combine in February.

Suck for us. Id easily take the kid in the 2nd. Thought he could evemtually be a 1st rounder. The kid is a beast. Hope it all goes well. Take him in the 3rd!

Sucks for Hurst, but he now could become an absolute steal for the Panthers (or whoever) in the middle rounds if he were to drop.

As a Carolina fan, I feel awful for James... He was mainstay on that line with Bodine, Bond, and Cooper last year.

 

Hurst will fall but in the fifth round, the risk would outweigh the reward.

 

I'd kind of compare it to the Brandon Hogan situation except for the fact that Hurst never had any off the field issues which is why he could easily only fall to the fourth. 

 

Pre-injury, James was projected to be a late second/early third round pick.

[IamSoClutch]

he was not going to be there in the bottom of the second round. maybe this helps him fall in lap

[stirs]

He was looking like a second rounder and if the medical checks go well, I don't see him dropping but a few spots anyway

[Ruff]

It's just a broken leg. Not that severe, when it comes to football injuries. Sure, he'll be out for a while until it mends, but it's not like he tore a ligament, or hurt anything structurally on the knee. He'll be fine.

 

I'd say, at most, he drops to the back end of the 2nd round, right where we'll be picking.

[Jackofalltrades]

Id take him in the third.

[PantherFanOne]

Id take him in the third.

 

I don't think Hurst will be on the board when our number is called in the 3rd rd. A good LT will be a hot item in this draft,much like all others.
