so what you're saying is hurney is doing the same thing he did with richardson but tepper is more open about it?

Yep. Who do you think wrote the checks for all the paralyzing contracts in 2011? Fired Gettlemen for wanting to trade away and cut the family? Richardson was very involved, played football and valued the “family”, seatbelts not withstanding.

Tepper has his own direction and wants. He’s been very open about what he wanted, we drafted what he said he wanted in the interview.

he also said last year he was new so he took an observational approach only,

therefore I believe strongly that last year Hurney drafted freely exactly the way he would without strings.

hes got strings again.

Please let me know. Literally his worst draft. He seems like a drug addict with trades and reaches. This is the draft that defines him and basically I hope it all goes to hell so he can get fired. Besides work career this draft gets a D.

Post the picks you would have made and I will bump this in a couple of years so we can all see how awesome your picks are.  Or shut the hell up.

Burns posted a 9.99 RAS. Elite size, speed, burst. The highest RAS for any player in this draft. Rush players with a RAS above 9.4 are usually double digits sack players and are the safest picks you can make in the draft. His athleticism is literally off the charts. 

 

Little has really good traits, his issue is consistency. One play really good technique and the next not so much. Very coachable.

Honestly im going to renig this. It seems everyone had their hands in the cookie jar. Burns may prove worthy but i still didn't like trading up for a tackle that hurney saw as a first rounder but literally no other gm did. Time will tell. Keep pounding

The draft was actually very good for us. It is about finding players that fit your scheme and in that regard we got who we wanted. They never seem to.pick who I want but that doesn't mean they were wrong. We filled the holes on the team outside of free safety and SS soon as we can sign guys and keep our compensatory picks we will sign a free safety. I guess the coaches like who we brought in. This was far from a poor draft. Now the 16 draft, that was ridiculously poor.  Hurney has done a great job and we are going to the playoffs this year. Instead of being fired I bet he gets a raise.

We needed defensive and offensive line, we drafted 2 starters and 2 reserves. We also got a back up qb and back up rb/short yardage guy. That’s 2 starters, one rb to fill in for CMC and Miller might get some rotational looks with actual offensive line depth. What more could you ask for in the draft. A FS would have had to been with our comp 3rd at the earliest and there wasn’t anyone there that would be a solid starter for us. I swear some people think teams can just pluck out starters for whatever round they want...

    • I think you mean relevant but they have been fine, the problem is the lack of in game adjustments.  He has also been just decent at recruiting.  Duke having tons of success hurts and just fine isn’t good enough at UNC.  
    • I don't see it as drafting a premium player to sit and wait if Walker gets hurt. We need a legitimate swing T. Unless you have a Sewell or Slater type tackle that is pretty much a sure thing, these guys can need some time to develop year 1 just like a QB ideally should. They all haven't played the elite 5 star talent on the edge. If we think another franchise tackle has dropped to us at 19, you have to pull the trigger. The position is just too damn hard to find. If it's just a "we need a tackle and this guy has a T on the board", yeah, move on, take one in the later rounds. But if that guy is there, let him back up and learn a year, then slide him into LT on year 2 of his rookie deal.  I don't see us being able to offer Walker a multi year contract after a prove it year, pay Moton his final almost fully guaranteed year, Hunt, Lewis a center and do a 50-60m extension for Bryce. The 3 most important positions on the field are QB, blindside tackle (usually LT), and edge rusher. Those are the premium positions that cost the most and are hardest to come by. If a starting caliber talent is there at 19 you have to pull the trigger.  I understand the need for a DT and S. I've been on the C and FS train for years. If we weren't staring at a potential Bryce extension, it'd make the decision a lot easier I think. It's just with all these huge contracts I don't see how we can hedge our bets on being able or even wanting to re-sign Walker, especially if he has a bad year. Icky and BC's injuries really hurt our long term plans.  If no blue chip talent at those 3 key positions are available at 19, by all means pass and draft another position. But I think it's pretty safe to say we don't have a guaranteed lock at any of them right now beyond Phillips, and they have to be somewhat of a priority. 
    • Not completely accurate. I'm sure Roy is lobbying for him and Larry Brown has spoke put in support too. But Hansbrough has made comments pretty critical and hinting at a need for change. Joel Berry has gone a step further and said the standard has not been met. Scott Williams who was a teammate of Hubert's at Carolina has gone all the way and said it's time for a change at head coach.
