Ted Hurst: Commanders' Draft Steal?

0:00It's April 7th, from breaking news to Sunday match-ups, this is NFL News Today, powered by AI. Ted Hurst from Georgia State is making noise as a third-round draft target for the Washington commanders. This 6-foot-4, 206-pound Y receiver lit up the NFL Combine with a 4.4-240-yard dash, a 36-point, 5-inch vertical, and an 11-foot-3 broadjump. In his senior year, he earned first-team all-sun-bell honors, hauling in 71 catches for 1,000-four yards at 14.1 per. Grab plus six touchdowns over 12 games. Top wideouts like Karnel Tate, McCoy Limon, and others are projected to fly off the board in the first three rounds, but Hurst could slide right into. Value territory. Analysts see guys like K.C. Concepcion, or Omar Cooper Jr., maybe sneaking into Round 1, leaving capable receivers available later. Commander's fans are buzzing about bolstering the receiving corps after Terry McClorn, who they snagged at pick 76 back in 2000.

1:0319. Hurst fits that mold as a big-body threat who could pair perfectly with their stars. At pick number 7, Washington might pivot to defensive studs like sunny styles or Caleb Downs instead of forcing a receiver early. That sets up pick number 71 as primetime for a talent like Hurst without reaching. If they play it smart and trade back a bit, grabbing Hurst there could be a steal that pays dividends for years, keeping the commander's offense. Humming deep into the season.
