Hunter may possess better WR skills but I draft CP ahead of Hunter right now due to CP's ability to return kicks. That is a skill every team desires but few teams have real game breakers. CP is a game breaker as a kick returner and would make an NFL team today doing that.
So you want to draft a kick returner in the 1st round?
He's not just a kick returner but also a damn good WR. He has tremendous potential at WR or slot receiver with an added dimension most other WR don't have. I would use a mid 1st round pick on him if my team didn't have the return skill set. Look at what D. Hester has done over his career for the Bears.
Based on what? Todd Mc Shay's ratings? Oh........
He has come into UT and taken over the role of who UT tries to get the ball to on offense in one year. Over Hunter for sure.
He's averaging 3 rec and 40 yards per game. He has a very long way to go in order to be a good wide receiver.
Also, as "terrible" as JH has been, he has almost 300 yards more receiving than CP thus far.
At the WR position alone, the stats favor Hunter. But add the rushing and KO/PR yards to CP and who has more total yards at the end of the game? They gave the Heisman to Tim Brown at ND doing the exact same thing as CP is doing. Not saying CP is in that class yet but for my NFL team the potential of CP is superior to JH.
Justin hunter is to WR's in physical characteristics what Shaq had for centers. He is an absolute physical freak. He will out jump anyone in the draft, out run 95% of people, and he will catch just fine.
Has he sucked it up this year compared to what we thought? Yeah. for sure. But he's still head and shoulders the best WR measurable wise in america. There are few NFL teams if any that wouldn't take him right now.
Which is why he will go higher. Not only in stats, but his ability.
The comparison to Shaq is a fail. I honestly can't believe you typed that. He isn't the physical freak you make him out to be. Calvin Johnson is a physical freak. Justin Hunter is not. I doubt he out runs 95% of the people in the draft. In fact, I guarantee you he doesn't out run 95% of the people at the combine. Best measurable WR in the country? dude, measurables don't equate to success in the NFL. If you aren't getting it done in college, why should we think you will perform differently in the NFL against the very best competition?
