My Stretch 1st RD Pick.

[Dark Superman]

Margus Hunt.

It's a big stretch I know, but the guy is a monster. Experience and good coaching could turn him into a pro bowler and possibly Paul Kruger 2.0

[FastStarts]

Was just watching youtube highlights of him, and he is a freak! I wouldn't mind this pick at all.

[arkana04]

Dont see it he will more than likely max out as a rotational DE and he's already 26. 

[NewColtsFan]

I'd be very happy with him...   but even happier if we could get him high in the 2nd round after we trade down...

 

I'd be happier with that than just taking him 24th....

[BOTT]

I would be hoping for more than Paul Kruger 2.0

[Gavin]

Wouldn't be any worse then Ansah busting out in my opinion if that happens, But I think Hunt falls to the 3rd but I'd feel safer taking him in at 24 then Ansah

I saw a mock on here where a member had us taking Hunt in the later rounds (I think we got him in the 5th or something).  But with the Combine and pro days and all that, Hunt's stock was gone way up.  I recently say a mock on NFL.com where he went in the first round.  He is currently listed as Mayock's #2 3-4 DE, so he will definitely go in the first 2 rounds

[Nobody]

He's a 3-4 DE, IMO, and not worth a first rounder at all. It's annoying that he has shot up so much, his combine was exactly what was expected of him.

People always say he is a "monster", but in reality he isn't a very good player yet.

[Dark Superman]

He may go round 1..

If he was younger, I would easily take him. But he's not, so no thanks.

Football age is more important. The guy's only been playing for about 3 years, which means he's got a lot less mileage than a 22 year old that's already been playing for 10. Besides, D-linemen can be effective well into their 30's. If he were a WR or RB that already has years of getting hundreds of touches, I'd agree with you.

I think the monster comments are generated more toward his physical and athletic gifts...   not his football playing ability....

 

At least,  that's how I've always perceived them....

[LAColt]

His biggest problem is he is already 26, and probably doesn't have much more potential to tap into.  He will be a good, solid player, probably very late 1st round, or early 2nd round pick.

[Valpo2004]

Please no picking a player that is 26 years old

I don't think there's any way he's a DE in the Colts' 3-4.  His build looks very similar to Kruger, but Hunt is quite a bit taller.  He could be a DE in the Texans' 3-4 because they play a 1-gap but in the Colts defense, the only time I could see him lining up at DE in a 3 man front is in very long yardage situations.

 

I'm sure he could still be a great addition to the defense.  On early downs they could put him at Rush or Sam LB and move him inside on passing downs.  The age factor still comes into play though.

This guy reminds me of JJ Watt. Whoever drafts him will get an impact player. I could care less that he is 26, since he just started playing. Look at the highlight reel. It's incredible.

With 100% certainty I can tell you that if the Colts had the chance to draft Ansah at 24 they would do it in a New York minute. Guaranteed. But they won't get that chance because he will be long gone by their pick.

OR Tony Mandarich... stretch pick...in the 1st...for the colts..considering FA. Any CB not named Rhodes or Milner...

[iM COLTSSTRONG]

like a brandon weeden.....no thank you

And I would gladly eat crow if he turned out be great from the start but realistically that wont happen, As to him being long gone by our pick, I hope beyond hope he is, Let some team draft him earlier that can maybe afford to take that kind of a chance, we cant afford to take a chance on a player just because he is an athletic freak, his production dont warrant the pick (yes I know he is not looked at as going early because of his production). We cant afford to take that chance regardless
