Day 2 is where we find out if Hurney has truly learned from his past

As the title says, Day 2 is where we find out whether or not Hurney has learned from his previous failures...  Unfortunately, we probably won't know it for a couple years, but let's look at his history some...

Round 1, he's generally been solid, drafting the likes of Peppers, Gamble, Gross, Davis, Williams, Beason, Stewart and Newton...  All should be considered 'hits' for him...  in fairness, he also shipped out future first rounders for immediate picks...  kicking the can down the road in hopes of 'winning now'...

Round 2, I can't even just list the failures by last name...  Most people won't even remember them if I do...  Bruce Nelson, Eric Shelton, Everette Brown, Sherrod Martin, Jimmy Clausen, Dwayne Jarrett, and the hideous trade to New England that ended up being the first pick in the 2nd for Armanti Edwards (ended up being us trading pick #33 for pick #89)...  

I'm not a Hurney fan (yet), but I AM a Hurney supporter...  So far I like what he's done this offseason, and love the DJ Moore pick...  But he always nails it in the first...  I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling this way, but today I'm extremely excited at the talent still available right now, while at the same time I'm terrified at what we MIGHT do when our turn rolls around........

Right now I'm optimistic....  But if he trades up to pick some fullback from the University of Pheonix Online that nobody's ever heard of tonight, I intend to kidnap him and lock him in the 'Saw Room'...

I’m cautiously optimistic. There is so much talent still on the board that it would take the Cleveland Browns to screw this up.

Unfortunately Hurney has a history of doing Cleveland Browns moves. I like what he’s done so far and if he can get thru this draft w/o doing something stupid I’ll be onboard the USS Hurney

i hope he somehow gets lucky enough to bring in a longtime contributor at every pick for the sake of the future of this franchise and i still hope that the new owner fires him the first day he is in charge

And that's the only thing left to say about Hurney.

I still laugh at how much credit GMs can get. Moore was a Norv pick through and through. I am upbeat about new Hurney because I like our visits and who’s still on the board. There’s a definite worry there because there’s 22 picks before us so guys we liked will be dropping like flies. These three picks could really cement this draft. There’s a lot of quality so I hope we do well. 

So when Hurney makes a pick you like it's someone else doing it. When he makes a bad pick it'll be all him. Got it you just hate Hurney and he can't win in your mind.

Hurney just can't reach for need in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. That has been his mistake. He needs to trust the scouts and the rankings they have produced up until this point and simply add BPA throughout. It may piss off the fans, the coaches, or even the players at first. But nobody wins the Superbowl on draft day. It's about what you get out of the next 3 to 5 years from a player.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
