what will you do when Hurney trades our first rounder for 2021?

I don’t think this is the case. I think he and Brady would take Mims in the 2nd before him. Lynch isn’t the only Baylor player out there. 

You haven't heard how far back he and Lynch go. Also I think Mims may be gone before our pick in the second. Im saying we would trade our future picks to move back up to the late second for Lynch.

Lynch is the prototypical great college player that flops in the NFL. Undersized tweener and a below average athlete. He doesn't have the juice to play DE in a 4-3 and he doesn't have the size and strength to play DT in a 4-3. His best bet is probably as a 3-4 DE, but I'm honestly not sure he has the juice for that either. He's a late round draft pick. If we want to take him in the 5th? Fine. I won't really have a problem with that. But I think there's a good chance we take him significantly earlier. Like as early as #38.

Hurney has drafted at least 3 future HOFers in the first round.  It's more likely he will draft another one than trade the pick 

Peppers was a consensus number 1 pick that could have gone to the Texans. No real skill with that number 2 pick. Cam is borderline HoF, more for his running skills than passing as a QB. Number 1 pick. Luke was another top 10 pick. Gross top 10 pick. I'd rather draft 0 HoF and actually have a team that competes than sit at home come playoff time and keeps drafting in the top of the draft.

I feel if you are consistantly picking up great talent and the team doesnt achieve anything, its more on the coach than the GM.

It takes more than hitting on a 1st rounder to build a team. He hasn't consistently picked up great talent, I'd argue the opposite. Hurney has done well in the 1st but he has done poorly at assembling a team. He has no real strategy for team building. We've had 6 day 2 picks the past 2 years and come away with very little. Burns isn't a 4-3 end. Last year's draft was a waste. 2018 isn't looking promising outside of Moore.It's always the same thing, he thinks we're 1 or 2 pieces from winning it all, drafts accordingly, then it usually all falls apart fairly quickly. 

Hurney is a yes man GM that didn't get a job offer in the NFL after his 1st go round. If he was that great at putting together the team but the coach was the problem, someone would have called him. Instead he ended up doing local sports radio. That says a lot.
