Reach: Louisiana OL Robert Hunt to Miami Dolphins, No. 39 overall
While the Dolphins did have some additional needs on their O-line despite selecting Austin Jackson last night, they arguably reached just a bit too much to fill that hole.
Hunt should be a solid player the next level, but one could argue that his ceiling isn’t high enough to warrant a top-40 selection. They also selected him ahead of players such as Lloyd Cushenberry III, Josh Jones and Ezra Cleveland. He is a physical and tough offensive tackle that will likely play guard at the next level, but his overall outlook is a bit of a projection at this point.
Many analysts had him pegged as a third or fourth round pick, which makes it a bit surprising that he was taken this early.
