I remember that draft people were ripping Spielman (yet another) new one over trading down twice in the third before taking Hunter at pick  88.  Seems to have worked out well B)

And remember, he's not even 24 yet...

Good stuff right there. He has such a ridiculous amount of talent and work ethic plus he's humble. What a fantastic combination.

let slow down on the back patting. if rick would have known (as well as every other GM) hunter would turn out this way. he would have been drafted long before the third. we got lucky. rick put us in a position to be lucky but its not like he had some diobolical plan where he just knew he could screw all the other teams by trading down and still getting a probowler. 

i think rick is doing a fantastic job but for every hunter theres a patterson.

I guess I don't get this thought process. If everyone knew that Diggs was the reciever he was they would have drafted him earlier too. Or kendricks would have gone earlier. Thielen wouldn't have been undrafted. Cook would have gone in the first...A GM is paid to evaluate talent and find diamonds in the rough, lets not devalue that because he hit on some of these guys when we crucify him for missing on guys.
