I misspoke... I should of just said you're welcome :-). Just wanted everyone to see how special this kid is... All the chiefs need to do is work on his speed, and of course the playbook, but everything else is gifted. [Reply]
[QUOTE=Simply Red;12848010] He seems to have superb vision and balance, I do like this pick. /QUOTE]
I agree, thats what jumps out at me after watching the videos. I question his top end speed, but really cant say I seen anybody catch him from behind, once he was going full stride? I just hope he turns out to be durable. He looked impressive in the senior bowl vid. The coaches and management have watched more than I, so if they like him, I give the pick a big thumbs up!:-):-):-) [Reply]
Wow, I wasn't sold on Hunt when I saw his 40 time, but I was after I saw the vids. You can see by the way he runs that speed isn't what it's all about. The way he's able to make small subtle moves, and yet it totally screws up the defenders pursuit to him is amazing.
I've been trying to think of an NFL comparison, but the only name that comes to mind is Marcus Allen. Mostly because of his vision and his toughness. [Reply]
I like the staple of Ware, Spiller and Hunt. None of them are burners but maybe that's ok. I was really hoping for an RB will some speed but these guys run hard at least. [Reply]

What I saw, and I have to see a lot more out of his hands before it extends any further, is that his feet remind me most of Faulk.
If we can coach him to catch and block, that is a HUGE weapon, regardless of top end speed. The ability to plant and redirect is much more valuable overall than top-end for a RB, especially with our other speed and receiving options on the field.
If there's ever been one thing I coveted in a ball carrier, it's what Faulk is putting down around the 2:50-3:25 mark.

He seems like an ordinary back which isn't bad for the third round. Doesn't have top line speed. Big but he seems to be more slippery than a guy who will plow through tackles. He seems a bit like priest Holmes without the acceleration. Thing about priest was he wasn't just a vision back. When he saw a hole his burst was incredible. [Reply]
