Hurney says some teams had a first round grade in Will Grier.

lol the huddle in 2019... let’s talk about how this colossal waste of a 2008 draft pick we packaged multiple picks for, including our 2009 first round pick, was actually a good player.

ancient arguments being resurrected; another reason hurney should never have been re-hired

[NanuqoftheNorth]

I'm going to disregard whatever Hurney has to say because this pick has Turner's fingerprints all over it.

The Patriots have drafted 9 QBs since Brady took over as starter.

As long as Cam is healthy he has little to fear from Grier.

It's possible. I will say this, he was a value at 100. I was originally a little frustrated with the pick but it really felt like BPA... At the worst, he could be a great trade asset if he lights it up.

Just for clarification... Otah was a stud on the field.. can’t predict injuries tho.

Pre draft there were already concerns about his knees. For a big guy, that's the kiss of career death. Not saying he wasn't a great road grader, because he was, but trading back into the first for a guy with that question mark is why I always considered that move a bust.

Same could be said of Jonathan Stewart as well though.. that worked out pretty well.

I thought it was his ankle and supposedly he played most of his senior year with a sprain. No complaints, he was a tough guy. Who knew that a  torn miniscus or other minor injury would derail his career.

I remember Jimmy Clausen being a unanimous “steal” in the second round and the media giving us an A+.  It really doesn’t matter until we get to camp.  If Grier has what it takes ti be a solid backup or a future replacement for Cam, it will be evident early.

Not necessarily. Cam was excellent as a runner in his first preseason, but not impressive as a passer. He kicked it into high gear in the regular season in a manner no one expected.

Again every GM says this Gettlemen said two teams had intentions of drafting Daniel Jones before 17

Could be true or false but after every draft it's the same thing 

[tiger7_88]

So now Hurney is telling us that he believes with total sincerity what other teams tell him?

Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat.

PFF had a late first round grade on him. I'm just happy he was drafted in the late third. He had value and a comp third is not bad.

That's not true. They hated several drafts before.

This year, it probably has more to do with the fact that we used analytics and actual production as the most important factor. PFF would naturally favor those draftees over those with "potential" that we may have favored in the past.
