Hurney should stay on with the Panthers...


Doc Holiday

Recommended Posts

With the sole responsibility of making our First round draft pick! Nothing more or less!

if there is one thing I’m going to miss when good old Hurney is gone is the dude for better or worse has been amazing when drafting in the first round. I don’t think anyone here can argue otherwise especially when you stack him against the rest of the League. I mean he has drafted how many potential HOF caliber players?

One dude who's career was cut short due to injury as much makes the OP's point as detracts from it. I'm ready for Hurney to go as much as most here, but the dude was solid with his first rounders. Find me another GM who had only a single bad first rounder in what, a dozen or so? Can't be too many out there.

2019: Brian Burns

2018: DJ Moore

2012: Luke Keuchly

2011: Cam Newton

2010: Everette Brown

2009: Jeff Otah

2008: Jonathan Stewart, Jeff Otah

2007: Jon Beason

2006: DeAngelo Williams

2005: Thomas Davis

2004: Chris Gamble

2003: Jordan Gross

I must say, even with the obvious flubs in 2008-2010, that is pretty impressive.

Ugh....you know what is even more scary, to look at the rest of the first rounders combined. Basically only CMC and Dan Morgan were hits. Almost every other 1st round pick in Panthers history was some level of bust.

1995: Kerry Collins

1996: Tim Biakabutuka

1997: Rae Carruth

1998: Jason Peter

1999: None

2000: Rashard Anderson

2001: Dan Morgan

2013: Star Lotulelei(Not really a bust, just not a star player)

2014: Kelvin Benjamin

2015: Shaq Thompson(Not really a bust, just not a star player yet)

2016: Vernon Butler

2017: CMC

There is more than 1 round to a draft.  I’m one of those people that think the entire draft is a crap shoot.   I mean, for gods sake, Trubisky was taken ahead of Mahomes and Watson.  If any team knew how good Mahomes was going to be they would have traded whatever the asking price was to move up and get him.  How many teams passed on Brees, Jackson, insert name here.  I’m sure everyone on here would gladly have selected Mahomes over CMC if given the chance.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
