Great article exploring all 1st round trades over the last ten years.

• 25% of the time teams picking 26 - 32 trade there picks
• the Browns seem to be in the middle of every controversial first round trade
• Panthers Trade 1st round pick for Everett Brown....49ers get  4× Pro Bowler Mike Iupati with the traded pick

Thank God "Panthers trade 1st overall pick to move up and select Jimmy Clausen", despite Hurney's efforts to do just that, didn't happen.

That said, the team may very well have had the #1 overall pick again in 2012 had it happened. Wonder if Luck would have stayed in school for yet another year...

The Hurney days still scare me, seemed like we always traded first round picks and always got fuged

With more 1st round DL prospects than any draft in recent memory, this draft could have a lot of trades.

According to the article, D-Linemen were traded for 23% of the time in the 1st.

This is an outright lie. Hurney said at Clausen's presser that he refused to give up a first despite being pressed to do so.

Mm'kay, and NFL FOs are renowned for their honesty in press conferences.

Hindsight being 20/20 Hurney sure made some highly questionable trades but he sure did make the 1st/2nd rounds very interesting for us fans.

He literally said of his own volition that he was pressed to give a 1st but refused to do so. Not that your original post suggests you remember him saying that but you choosing just not to believe it anyways as its pretty clearly a falsehood you just made up in your head.
