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

[Gazi]

Hurney is having a good draft 

[SmittysLawnGuy]

I don't feel too bad. Bills had to give a 5th just to move up 2 spots in the 3rd.

Why would Max reveal that tho? lol

and there's this. we only lost one pick in a round that we had two in.

Yeah, still...should have been 100 but we really  need Little to  pan out.  He was 2nd team all america last year so its not like he sucked

This  is  me talking myself into  this  move.

I hope to fuging god this is the one thats the nail in his coffin. If these guys turn out great so be it fantastic. But when he shits the bed and he will, this should be it

compare the amount of homework done on both players. sorry, weak comparison. clausen was an unknown to hurney. panthers spent more time with little than any other prospect this year. they knew what they wanted and liked what they saw. he put in the same or more work in little as he does in all of his first round homeruns.

More work doesn't stop you from making bad decisions.

pretty much. this was an educated and informed decision by someone who typically does well with his first round picks. due diligence was done.

That actually makes me more confident in the Little pick than Burns.

cause he has such a history of making bad decisions in the first round (when he's not trading those picks away).

please make a list of bad draft picks he's made in the first and yes, i'm considering this a first round pick. this is the guy we would have picked if burns wasn't there. 

you may have a hatred for hurney (which would be understandable considering his many flaws outside his first round picks), but only if it's a blind hate can you say that he doesn't know what he's doing with the guys he aims for in the first. 

he's done a great job this year so far. I don't like him but i'm not going to let my dislike for him deny the solid work he's done this year or the homeruns he hits with his first round picks.

part of me thinks that little may have been his favorite prospect this year, but he knew that burns would go earlier so he had to pull the trigger earlier and just hope he could get back in there and get little.

They got the guy they wanted for less than they thought he was worth. Not too worried about message board scout. If he can play we will be happy.

He aimed for Clausen in the first, and almost gave up a future first to do it.

now picture in your mind our earlier convo ref Jstew and Otah...

 

that made my stomach gurgle.

still a weak comparison. again I ask, how much work did hurney do looking at this guy? how many visits?
