Haha- all of you think you know more than NFL scouts.

NFL scouts and "experts" thought Jimmy Clausen was a 1st round talent-- the gap between real fans and scouts isn't is big as you make it out the be.

It's weird you cut Cash and then get this guy

We honestly probably could've gotten this guy as a UDFA.

Everybody said the exact same about Mayo, he's turned out to be a beast and has 1 year before he probably leaves for a starting opportunity somewhere. Ron knows his LBers in the draft. Carter will be just like Klein and Mayo for us and we needed LB depth with Mayo gone and TD probably retiring. Will be a solid pick.

+ TD is supended for first 4 games and will retire at end of season

+ David Mayo will be UFA after the year.

+ Jared Norris and Ben Jacobs are strictly special team guys. 

= Good pick 

 

So, are you suggesting tthat an undersized rookie LB is going to fill in during TDs suspension during the first four games of the season?

Nah, there's a big gap, but scouts and GMs get it wrong all the time. There's busts and steals in every draft and there always we'll be. It's really hard to predict how guys will translate to the next level and it's really hard to predict how they'll handle getting all of that money overnight. I think the latter is a really underrated part of the projection.

Projected by whom?

 

The reason I say this---the projections are wrong, not the GMs for not drafting according to the projections.

How many teams passed on the OT from Ohio state since his projection window--

All of them.

Pretty much every writer/source you read out there.  Nfl.com, walterfootball, you name it

 

And yes the OT fell when most were projected much higher, it happens.

 

I probably would have as big a issue with it, if it were not Hurney as his track record.  Itd be me refusing to take free throw shooting lessons from Dwight Howard and everyone telling me im dumb for refusing since he's a NBA player

Undersized LB with marginal NFL athleticism. We honestly probably could've gotten this guy as a UDFA.

Reminds me of Boulware

True, I think a lot of scouts and GMs fall in love with players who look the part more than have actually shown they can produce at the next level. Scouts fawn over physical attributes and other measurables all the time while I'd prioritize their performance against quality college opposition (SEC and Big10 specifically).

this is classic hurney, get a starter in the 1st round, reach for every other pick and none of them will be on the roster in 3 years

[beastson]

Yall expecting to hit home run with every pick. Please lower your expectations. Definitely a depth, special teams pick from here on out

[TylerVagyler]

Leads his team in tackles three straight seasons. That’s the type of guy I like to take late in the draft. 

[dugbug]

Lol guys this is hurney.  Great at round 1 and then it becomes a Greek tragedy

[Pimpdaddy]

Jarmaine and sht...
