Im hoping Marty Hirney transformed and learned from his past mistakes    To make a hell of a football life doc

 

I think the new owners will keep the Cam/Rivera/Marty regime intact until its clear that a rebuild is needed. No infusing football decision makers just to do it. Perhaps replace top front office guys but none of the football guys.

depends, if this team goes to say the nfccg it would be foolish to fire him. if he drills at least 2 of the picks and they become stars you cant really remove him unless his fa blow up. he looks good so far, i would wait until he has a giant fug up if he does. he looks like a top 10 gm so far tbh.

As much as I can’t stand Hurney, it really does look like he mostly nailed his draft. There’s a couple picks I would have really liked to have seen gone a different way (like Harrison instead of gauldin) but this is the best I’ve felt right after a Hurney draft ever. The conundrum is whether we want to wait and see if he fugs it all up again (highly likely if he sticks around) or have blind faith that he magically became a competent GM. If he did pull of that transformation, it would be nothing short of a miracle.

I would hope everyone changes and grows over time. That is an essential part of maturing. The changes likely reflect better scouting and input from the team he assembled. He didn't do it in a vacuum.

He did say he learned from his mistakes.   I can't help also believing JR had something to do with our CAP Hell he put us in a couple of years back.

JR did cause by dumping all the vets after 2009 and going youth in 2010 in prep for a long night holdout which didn't happen. Then we were do bad in 2010 that fans has no confidence we wanted to win and field a competitive team. So to instill faith we grossly overpaid Johnson and Williams and Stewart to demonstrate our commitment. Hurney made mistakes but JR was at the root of it.

Time will tell .  If this draft turns out to be very good and he can do reasonable contracts , he will stay until Rivera is let go and a total rebuild is needed .   i look forward to training camp to see how this pans out . Most analyst give him a B or better this draft .

Of course JR had something to do with that, all the people putting that completely on hurney are just turning a blind eye.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
