No you’re not crazy.

The fact Hunter can play both ways at a high level shows insane athletic ability and is rare, especially at the NFL level. But I have never thought he was the best WR in the draft, nor is he the best CB in the draft. So he can play both positions at a high level, and that has a ton of value to a team. But time will tell if he can play either at an elite level, as I don’t think he can at this point.

I was and still am a bit bummed about the Loveland pick. But I think getting Burden was incredible, and he will give defenses headaches for years.

Travis Hunter is a very good football player, his thing though is that he is good at WR and good at DB elevating his draft stock. Now is he great at either of those spots, we won't know and he definitely has the skill to become that, but as of right now that is pretty big gamble to take that high. Best of luck to him
Yea. I’m still just scratching my head both at Jags trading up for Hunter AND Burden being available at 39 when some here were suggesting we draft Burden at 10. Hunter could be a phenomenal DB , idk, we’ll see I guess. He just doesn’t look special as a WR.

The trade up would have made more sense if they were targeting Carter in my opinion.
