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.

      Some...concerning UNC / Belichick news

      My unbelievable pile is touching the moon now-a-days. Bill is ultra control freak if there was ever one in the NFL, he's the guy. He stayed off SM and hate hate hated the media..........(wow bill what did you do in 2024??!?!?!).  So this guy, 100% control freak, just gave away all his SM to a 24 year old?? He doesn't understand SM at all... This is the same level as 8 time SB winner coming to coach UNC, after all this NIL BS that drove out his other control freak coaching friends.  This time line is insane.

      Unless its 2021 renfrow, Moore is 30, jimmy horn was picked 208 in a weak draft.... I mean they just rid of Clowney cause of number of snaps, so Moore could follow that. NFL is unforgiving missing a full year and deal with disease is very hard to over come.  The only locks are- Tmac, XL, AT. Coker is close, but if he shows up in poor shape, he could be cut.  If horn wins the 5th, all George has to do is show he's more valuable than the listed above. renfrow could be a PS guy as he continues to get back in NFL shape. Moore has been on like 8 teams and just a fine fit with the Dave system.  I mean for the first time in I don't know when, there is a real battle to make the #4-#6 WR room. It's good to cut good players...  Lastly who knows, one or two injuries hit and George easily makes the 53. I got him currently as the #6. 4 others are right there too, I heard Dave say Kobe Hudson name during a presser. He's in the mix too.
