he's done much worse trades. only lost one of our two 3rd rounders.

the guy is a legit OT as well. needs some coaching, but he's got the tools. 

not hating it at all. kind of (not really) surprised at the freaking out about the pick. pretty entertaining.

How many players did we get that had same issue with coaching and had tools. They still didn't play well and didn't work out though.

the thing is, this was basically a first round pick for us. this was a guy that we probably would have taken if burns wasn't there. this wasn't one of those whim/panic picks that hurney was so bad about making back in the day. this was one of those guys that he had slated for the first round and did his homework on. 

I don't trust a lot about hurney, but I trust the homework he does in the first round guys.

It is good he wasn't that Hurney from back then or we would be royally screwed.

There has been a run on offensive lineman so maybe Hurney anticipated that. But I would've preferred taking one of the top safeties if Little was gone and taking the best tackle or guard left at 77.

That being said, if Little turns into an above average starter on the line, it'll turn into a solid move. But Hurney has a pretty terrible track record with jumping up for 2nd round picks that he has valued as first rounders. And we have enough holes I'm not a fan of losing such a valuable pick. We'll be able to grade this better in a year. I'm just not optimistic it'll be a win. But I really hope I'm wrong.

the old hurney would have traded away next year's first. this one only cost us one of our two 3rds. i'm not hating this.  we needed serious help on the OL we've got it.
