Did we land 2 capable LTs in the draft???

What a performance depending on how yall feel about pff or how much help he got but still shaq B. Was on him all game wasnt he??? We all know Little has played at least better then any Lt since Gross...so did Hurney really knock the draft out of the park like this! Wow

Dennis Daley

For a sixth-round draft pick making just his second start, it doesn’t get much better than this. Daley was impressive in pass protection, allowing just one hit from 36 pass-rushing snaps, and he really impressed as a run blocker, producing an 86.0 PFF run-blocking grade in the game.

Think Daley ends up at LG.  

More power.  Also Little is essentially only capable of playing LT.

But those 2 together on the Left side apears like it is going to be something special.  Now if Paradis can live up to his Billing, this OL is going to be Legit

Our greatest weakness going into the draft was left tackle, and pash rush

Hurney manages to draft Brian Burns late in the 1st round, and Christian Miller (who has looked amazing when healthy) late in the draft.

Two stud left tackles in the 2nd and 6th rounds, a position that had been neglected since Jordan Gross retired (who Hurney also drafted).

Hurney picks up Kyle Allen as an undrafted guy.

The most insane thing I'v ever seen in sports fandom was how much people hated Marty Hurney, the guy who drafted 10 out of the 11 pro bowlers on our Super Bowl team.

He's a great general manager, just as he always was, and we should be giving him a massive extension.  People who complain about the occasional mid round bust must think Bill Belichick has never drafted anyone bad in the middle rounds (let alone the 1st round).

Definitely promising, but I’m also curious how he’d fare against more of a power/bull-rusher. So far, Barrett and Ngakoue are both very good pass rushers, but they’re the same kind of smaller speed/finesse rushers. Some tackles excel against one type and struggle against the other, so if we have the rare breed who can just stonewall whoever is across from him, then damn that would be amazing.

Yea even if one day ron and company are gone, Hurney has done his job to good to be with that group...i mean wow look how much hes hit on! This team is so talented and fairly young there is no excuse for us not to get a SB soon...and his FA have been good too!

From my experience and i could be wrong, speed rushers are always harder to defend! Look at Remmers and about any other decent LT weve had.

You're only as good as your franchise quarterback, and the Panthers were never bad enough after Jake to draft one high in the draft until 2011.

Unfortunately for Hurney, when he got the opportunity to draft a franchise quarterback in the first round, he was fired, and Gettleman got the credit for the Cam Newton led team he had built.

And if you're going to say he did a poor job at evaluating quarterbacks

He drafted Cam Newton and signed Kyle Allen as an UDFA.

 

200+ games isn't exactly a small sample size. I like the moves he's making in his second go round, but I haven't forgotten him torpedoing us with awful contracts and hellacious cap issues that got him fired the first time. I'm going to be a little cautious.

I also truly think hurney sat back and learned during the Gettleman years and truly came back a better GM...if he can somehow move the cap around and keep this team in tact for the forseable future....man he will be one of the better GMs in the league.

    • He has better hands, significantly larger catch radius (like absurdly so), and better at 50/50 balls for a start, while he also already runs a more full route tree that is already at an NFL level. And before you say Hunter does those things well, I'm not saying he doesn't, but T-Mac is just better at them, just like Hunter is better at some things as well, such as pure speed/quickness and his ability to separate (and yes, separation and route running are two separate things, you can be a poor route runner but elite separator due to quick twitch ability). T-Mac has 3 legitimate weaknesses, 2 of which are easily improved upon in the NFL with proper coaching, with the 3rd just being due to his size and is a trade off for what you get from his size.   His get off at the snap and separation are two things that with coaching and just growing as a player, will get better.  Particularly because he's already an elite route runner, he just needs to improve his first couple steps after cutting to get that extra half step of separation.   His raw top end speed will always be what it is, it's not elite like Hunter, but it's MORE than fast enough to be successful in the NFL, particularly due to all his other positives.  As I've noted before, he was clocked at 20.8 MPH (I think this was the number, not going back to find it right now though) during his first 2 seasons in college, which would have been the 8th fastest a player was clocked in an NFL game this past season. You're taking these responses in this thread as if people are saying Hunter is a bum who couldn't cut it in the NFL as a WR if his life depended on it.  But we're really just saying he's a better CB prospect than WR, but even as a WR he's probably the 2nd or 3rd best prospect in the draft and still a 1st round pick.  We're also pointing out that you just can't ignore the wear and tear that his already thin frame has been put through by playing both ways for 3 years and the very legitimate concern about how he'll hold up long term in the NFL because of it, even if he only plays one side of the ball moving forward.
