Maurice Hurst

[tvturner]

PFF has him going to us at #3 in their most recent mock drafts.

Not a lot have mocked him to us, they compare him to Atkins/Donald

Maybe in round 2 if he slips, but if we stay in a 3-4 our D-line is good. He doesn't have the length to play DE in a 3-4 and if we move to a 4-3 Hankins can give a good rush from the middle, he got 7 sacks in 2014 for the Giants. If we trade down I hope it's to target someone like Roquan Smith and maybe Billy Price or Marucs Davenport.

i think PFF is nuts mocking Maurice Hurst to us at #3!  I have watched him play for 2 seasons and he's a great player.  He should go in the middle of Rd 1... not 3rd overall!

Hurst is not a top 10 player. Bad length and inconsistent. 

[Dark Superman]

Not at 3. Pass.

[UKColt13]

Drafting a player at #3 to join already the strongest unit on the team, rather than strengthening a weak position?

 

Genius.

 

Hurst isn’t a top 10 player at this point.

If he drops to our round 2 pick, and we have plans for a 4-3 D, heck yeah!!! Otherwise, no. Too much to give up to get back into middle of round 1. I do expect one of the playoff teams to snag him in the 20s.

Another guy I like is Taven Bryan from Florida. Not at #3 of course.

I love Taven Bryan. He would be a great pick any time in day 2 IMO... if he falls there.

Very good player. We have some capable players on the interior, but Henry Anderson has had some significant injuries. I could see us team Bryan up as an interior penetrator with Ridgeway. Maybe he replaces Grover, or we carry 6 DL. Or maybe Grover takes the next step and shows significant improvement as a Starter next to Hankins and we cut Al Woods and keep 5. I'm not sure, but I do know Bryan is very good.

[Dark Superman]

If the Colts selected Hurst at 3 with either Chubb or Barkley still available..I would never watch another Colts game ever again.

No joke lol.

[richard pallo]

PFF has him rated as the highest player on their board.  Ahead of Barclay and Chubb.  14 sacks last year and No.2 nationally in run defense playing inside in the big 10.  I could see him as our pick.  ER's are not the only way to get sacks and pressure.  QB's like Brady really hate the pressure from the middle.  The shortest distance to the QB can also result in sacks and pressures.  I wouldn't be to quick to dismiss him as our pick.

Do you see Bryan as in inside or outside guy? He has the frame and skills to play both, but I don’t know what his best position is.

inside like Watt, but situationally outside

That would be a major reach.

That would be much needed versatility. Interested to see how he tests. He could be there round 2. He’d be an excellent developmental pick for our future 4-3.

Anything is possible, but I don't see this happening at all.

 

One thing I like about PFF is they make people look at things from a different angle. Sometimes they throw things like this out there to see what people think about it. 

 

Hurst is an excellent player, but I don't think he is a 3-down lineman (YET), so I would not take him that high. He could grow into a larger role, but right now he is an excellent pass rushing,  3-technique defensive lineman. He will have to WOW everyone like Solomon Thomas did last year if he wants to get drafted in the same area Solomon did. 

 

Hurst needs to get bigger to play on first down.
