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

Matsko clearly liked him and matsko made Chris Clark into a serviceable left tackle.  He also turned daryl William's, trai Turner, and Andrew norwell into pro bowlers.  I'm willing to give the benefit if the doubt for a guy they clearly loved and wanted as a part of our team

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.

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
