Why is Hurd a pipe dream? Pettis has a tough climb ahead of him but unless he completely burned his bridges here he'll get a chance to compete for a spot. He's got the talent. Has to show consistency and drive.

Third round, WR Jalen HurdHurd, who stands 6-foot-4 ¾, got beat up in his first three college seasons as a running back at Tennessee.
Having already undergone two shoulder surgeries, Hurd was playing through an ankle injury as a junior when he sustained a concussion. He sat out the final four games of that season before transferring to Baylor and switching positions.
Hurd underwent knee surgery in December to repair torn meniscus cartilage. It's unclear whether he will participate in the team's rookie minicamp practices Friday through the weekend.
"We've got good medicals on them," Lynch said of the reports he received from the team's medical staff on Samuel and Hurd.
