Otah was a beast if not for injuries.

It sucks what happened to him.  He was one of the biggest reasons why our running game was so dominant in 2008.  Dude was a freakin' monster.

If Little is even 75% as good as Otah was that season, we got a damn good player in the 2nd.

No. 

Huddle Tonight: fug Hurney for trading when he didn’t have to. He tried to trade into the first round last night. 

what makes you think he didn't have to?  Jags traded up for a tackle before him.  Bills traded up for a tackle literally the pick after us.

This is his athletic profile. I was very critical of Orlando Brown last year because of folks wanting him despite testing so badly, but at least he has good tape. Greg Little is hit or miss and is not even the athlete he was hyped up to be once he actually tested (sorted of like the hyped up Arden Key De at LSU a couple of years ago). Man, I'm hoping Moton works. Because I'm not liking the idea of Little at LT. 

 

And we got destroyed in the trade value too rofl...Hurney has only come out on top of a trade when dealing with former Panther leftovers.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
