Voth: Hurney was attempting to trade up

Damn, would be loved that pick...  I think James has Ed Reed, Sean Taylor, Polamalu-type ability.  He is going to be special.

I'm guessing it would've cost next years first, which he said he didn't want to move...  I bet the teams there in the teens were gouging once James slipped there too.  Would've loved it, likely regardless of the cost as he was my favorite player in the entire draft, but I'm still excited for our pick and the fact we didn't lose any assets.

I'm not surprised. He almost go within draft trade value range of #24 + one of our 3rds. That would've been #18/19. If we were making offers, I hope that it was dangling one of those picks. Considering James went #17, we would've gotten good value per the chart had we swung that deal. This also gives me hope that we're serious about addressing the safety position. Would not be at all surprised to see both a safety and a CB taken tomorrow. S, CB, TE would be my guess.

I'm sure teams tried to get Marty to give up too much. Old Marty would have done it. Glad he didn't. We got a great player and still have all of our picks

You actually have to go for a nice ransom remember he was ranked what 30 outta 32 poo he's been known to do dumb moves.

I’m glad he tried and I’m just as glad he didn’t let himself get swindled.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
