Hurney is predictable, but yet Huddlers are Surprised?

Hundreds of us have been glued to this site since yesterday evening at 8:00pm when draft kicked off, actually I’ll take it further back we’ve been glued to this site for months now in preparation for all of our wildest and “ideal” draft scenarios come together during this draft that in our minds would ultimate help raise that trophy. However, through the rumors, the trades, the FA signing, all the BS... we forget to think clear and almost so blatantly that Hurney did what Hurney has been doing and planning all along. We were just so caught up in our hopes and dream scenarios that we just didn’t see it or didn’t want to acknowledge it... 

the three picks... 

Burns, Little, and Grier have been overly mocked and it was ultimate Hurney who made the choice. Just look at the list of the Thirty visits and see who has the most attention. Who has the most meetings and visits and workouts. 

Little by WalterFootball visit tracker had Combine, Private visit, Pro day visit, and Private workout. 

Grier has Pro, Com, and Local workouts and visits among numerous other interactions. 

Burns has private visit/workout. 

Proof was in the pudding.

So a GM picked the players he did the most due diligence on and had the highest level of comfort drafting? Sounds like it all went according to plan then. 

At the end of the day we got a first round edge rusher, a first/second round graded LT and what many thought was the best of the second tier of QBs. I have several Pats fan friends who were shocked and upset that we beat them to the Grier pick. We got three strong picks out of four possible. Tomorrow we can get that Safety at 115.

Hurney isn't a scout although he thinks he is. He got Matso his tackle,  Scott Turner his quarterback and Rivera his edge rusher. He did exactly what he was supposed to do and from a value point of view did well. Get a FS at 115 and this draft is golden.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
