Point out the biggest difference in the 2020 Carolina draft and all others since 2011

[tiger7_88]

2011-2013 - Rivera/Hurney

2014-2017 - Rivera/Gettleman

2018-2019 - Rivera/Hurney

2020 - Rhule/Hurney

(I've provided a helpful hint above to be helpful and hintful.)

coach is having a lot more influence

Or it might be the fact that the coach having influence is better and smarter.

Rhule is destroying this draft because he recruited all of these guys over the past 5 years and watched them play up close and personal every Saturday.

he will probably dominate the draft for the foreseeable future lmao.

Agree with you except for Derrick Brown.  Brown was a top 5 recruit in the entire country and Temple was never anywhere near his radar.  That being said, it wasn't hard to get information about Derrick Brown as one of the best high school players in the country followed by being one of the best college players in the country for four years.

the fact that Rhule doesn't have to recruit now, and can pick whoever tf he wants or have Tepper throw money at someone is bad news for the league.

It’s similar to the Seahawks drafts when Carroll got there initially, for like 4-5 years they were elite at drafting and it almost built them a dynasty. In more recent years their drafts have sucked. Our next several drafts with Rhule leading the charge will be great but after that we’ll need a different strategy — hopefully we’ve hired a great GM by then.

A lot of prior drafts looked pretty good on paper as well. Certainly promising thus far and only time will tell.

Matt Rhule is killing it. He’s drafting guys that seem to be very coachable and play with high motors

Not sure this is entirely accurate. Baylor didn't play Auburn, Penn St or SIU once in his 3 years there. And I highly doubt while he was focusing on scheming against the teams he actually had to play, he was heavily scouting these other teams he didn't have on his schedule, particularly an FBS team. Or to say he has some special insight on these players he never played against in college over pro scouts whose primary job is to watch their college tape seems far fetched. Also if that were the case, you'd think the track record for coaches making the leap from college to the NFL would be a lot better, at minimum in the drafting department. 

That's not to say he doesn't deserve a large amount of credit for these picks. Undoubtedly traits he values are going to be emphasized. I suspect it's more along the lines of Hurney and the scouting department compile their draft lists with strengths and weaknesse of each prospect and Rhule will say "Amongst these players and based on these evals, I want that guy cause he has the measurables/attitude/versatility/etc that is needed for success on this team."

Gotta figure teams who played LSU in there as well.

You realize Tepper's billions are a non factor because he's restrained by the same salary cap as every other team, right? Granted we dont 'have to worry about a cheap owner like some teams do, but that aside Tepper's money doesn't matter when it comes to players. It can definately help in other areas like facilities, top flight coaching staff etc.

I'm not really sure you can judge that right now. Give me three years and I will tell you. With so many holes this year it looks like we are rebuilding the defense. Next draft will probably be offense heavy to sure up the oline. 

[Black&BlueBubba]

Your exactly right.  I still remember the sound bite of him telling us how they got Haynes.  RR sold him to Hurney that morning.  But then never could use or develop him.  It was the same story over and over 

RR simply is a horrible talent evaluator.

I thought you were complaining about most of these picks.  Make up your mind
