“We didn't think he had any chance to get to us (at No. 47),” Hurney said. “We had a chance to get a guy at a premier position that can come in and compete for playing time immediately and we think he has all the skills to be our starting left tackle for a long time.

“There's times to be patient, then there's times you just get the feeling you better make a move.”

- Marty Hurney

One of the teams that traded right before or after us only exchanged 2nds and threw in a 4th, and IIRC, it was around the same number of spots they moved up.  What a waste...

Expecting Hurney not to be himself is a quest in sadism. He's always fuged up the second round and now the 3rd.

He did better than fine. He was a PFF high grade there.

Which is why their insistence on making this move still boggles my mind.  I'd understand if we hadn't been able to retain DWill as we expected, but we did retain him...  and still have Moton on his rookie contract.  That's two starting tackles.  Throw in that we signed Paradis and this was the best I've felt about our OL going into a draft since Cam has been here, by far.  So, I just don't understand giving up a 3rd round pick that could've possibly been another starter/big contributor for Little whose fit is questionable.

Yea we were probably in a bidding war with one of the other teams that traded up honestly.

I think teams know they can fleece Hurney. I think he negotiates backwards.

I think it’s very funny to read grown men throw tantrums about someone that their favorite team drafted, like they’ve been sitting around spending countless hours watching film, meeting with the player, etc.

Just be a little more optimistic and happy with the fact we addressed two glaring holes- pass rush and OT.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
