Just saw the description in the link, and i have to say...  as someone who hasn't watched nearly as much college football in recent years as i used to, i did catch a couple notre dame games this year and a couple of their edge rushers caught my eye immediately.  IIRC, one was #42, and his build, balance, strength, and explosiveness reminded me of Khalil Mack.  I'm not saying that's who he will be, but i have a feeling he is going to be a great pro and a guy i definitely want on our team.

Edit: just looked him up to make sure it was who i remembered, and yup...  it is.  

Also, fun fact(s) - his name is Julian Okwara.  He is originally from Nigeria, and hd moved to the US in the 3rd grade.  His US hometown is none other than CHARLOTTE, NC.

So, what I'm saying is...  go get him hurney.

If hurney is drafting its a linebacker and a running back

look to your heart you know it to be true

WELL, THE LAST LINEBACKER/RUNNING BACK WE DRAFTED IS A BUST: COUGH COUGH SHAQ THOMPSON. 

 

BUT I WOULD LOVE DEVIN WHITE!!! HE IS A RB/LB. STRAIGHT STUD.

As a 50% ND fan (my wife’s entire family are ND fans so that makes me one, plus I converted them from Bears fans to Panther fans) I can tell you Okwara is an absolute beast. The other DE (Khalid) isn’t too shabby either. Michigan’s DL Gary is a stud and so is their DE. This is a good year for pass rushers. Speaking of ND, their Safety Alhoi is one of the best safeties they have had since Harrison Smith. Kid flies all over the field. I don’t think he can come out this year, but’s hes one to watch for next years draft.

It's not like GMs just sit around and twiddle their thumbs this time of year. Every GM should be working on this right now. 

I just hope that it's all for naught. We need a reboot next year. I'm hoping Tepper cleans house after the season.

I HOPE HURNEY, TEPPER, WHOEVER THE NEW GM IS, AND THE SCOUTING DEPT HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS BEFORE THE SEASON EVEN STARTED.

This is a great DL draft. Possibly the best that I can remember. If the opportunity is there, I'm taking two DL in the first three rounds. We have four picks in the first three rounds to play with.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
