What about Ted Ginn? I thought Culliver was supposed to be a decent returner too. Whatever.

May the best man win the job.

I am very happy about this pick. Watched this guy run all ove rthe big12 -- he was never a superstar, but he just made things happen.
Solid pick!

Steal at round 4. Should have been picked higher. My favorite running back in the draft. He'll be among the top fantasy running backs among a few others in this draft who have different styles. Hunter reminds me of MJD, Ray Rice, Barry Sanders because of his compact, tough running style and shiftiness.

One of the most productive runners in college. Third behind Nevada's Vai Taua and Noel Devine with 4,181 career yds with a very impressive 5.91 yds/carry. Only concern was a lot of run plays were off delays/draws

Good hands and blocking according to the Senior Bowl.

Grade A+.

Number 75 on his team was a beast on some of those plays.

For those with any questions about Hunter, take a look at his game against Nebraska last year. He personally ripped them to shreds.

Great pick.

Great pick.

Why do you think he and other RBs fell so far in this draft?

Change of pace back that we needed.

Gore = McGahee (obviously Gore's better though)
Dixon = McClain
Hunter = Rice

our first four picks are beast athletes

1.) The RB position is just devalued in today's pass-first game
2.) Hunter specifically isn't looked at as a 3-down back; more of a change of pace guy (less value)
