Maybe not as bad as originally thought.  Non displaced fracture

 

 

(10:00 AM): Tough break for UNC OT … North Carolina LT James Hurst, a leading second-tier prospect at the position for the 2014 draft, broke his left leg during the Tar Heels’ 39-17 victory against Cincinnati in the Belk Bowl on Saturday and obviously will be sidelined for a while. Hurst, who was starting his 49th career game, has been projected as a second-day pick at the upcoming draft. The injury has been described as a non-displaced fracture in the left fibula, but its not clear how long it will affect Hurst’s preparation for the combine in February.

As a Carolina fan, I feel awful for James... He was mainstay on that line with Bodine, Bond, and Cooper last year.

 

Hurst will fall but in the fifth round, the risk would outweigh the reward.

 

I'd kind of compare it to the Brandon Hogan situation except for the fact that Hurst never had any off the field issues which is why he could easily only fall to the fourth. 

 

Pre-injury, James was projected to be a late second/early third round pick.

It's just a broken leg. Not that severe, when it comes to football injuries. Sure, he'll be out for a while until it mends, but it's not like he tore a ligament, or hurt anything structurally on the knee. He'll be fine.

 

I'd say, at most, he drops to the back end of the 2nd round, right where we'll be picking.

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
