Hurney tried to trade up into the 20s for Greg Little

It’s possible teams got it wrong about Little and it that’s the case, we just dominated the draft with two studs in the trenches.

Precisely what the doctor ordered.  Let Burns come to us and went up to grab our coveted offensive lineman outside of Jonah Williams.  Excited to see what happens 3-37.  Hell, I'm not opposed to another trade up (but maybe tomorrow in the 4th)

Really want this pick to work out. If it does, it makes sense trying to move up into the 1st to get the bonus option year. Would allow us to pay Moton, move on from DWill (who I'm still high on), and have a franchise LT on a rookie deal.

If it doesnt, gonna be another notch on the long, long list of Hurney 2nd rd failures

I'm skeptical of him. But he's a Panther now, and he has my full support. I think the best thing for him though is not to start too early in the LT position. Even our best LT Gross played RT his first year. This is where Rivera's conservatism may actually work in favor of a player's long term development. Give him a chance to play at LG or even RT. If he excels and if either Moton or Williams underperform or with William's case leaves for big money, we can move him next year to a Tacke spot.

    • Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts? 
    • nope     This is why we come back every year.  Hope springs eternal
    • It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
