Prediction: Any busts from this draft will be credited towards Hurney, any stars will be attributed to Rhule

The real point of this thread though is to debate, who was in charge of this draft?

The video posted today shows Hurney reflecting on all of his draft picks and his thoughts when he was making the decision seem to indicate he was firmly in control of the process.

Unless we believe Hurney is a skilled liar.

I don't think past drafts were ever solely Hurney or not Hurney, but this draft does seem a marked departure from any draft he's overseen as GM in the past, so I would say at a minimum Rhule has heavily influenced his decision making process from the past, if not outright gained true final say.

You say bump in a year and then 2 years. Are you willing to do that if Hurney is no longer employed here but future drafts look awfully similar to this one in terms of approach?

It looks different because its a different head coach who wants different qualities in the types of players he wants.  Its obvious Rhule wants high motor guys who play violently.  I think Rivera wanted project guys in the later rounds to sit behind vets till theyre ready to play.

Hurney had input based off character of the player and the previous strategy but the final say was Rhule. If Rhule was wavering he probably asked Hurney to help make the decision, probably later rounds and therefore choosing multiple similar positions and small school players. I don’t see anyone to blame in this draft honestly with all the outliers that made it a far from traditional process prior to the draft.

Nope. Any bad picks and once the “L” starts to pile up, I will want Rhule out. And then turning my focus on Tepper. I hate Tepper and I would love to eat crow. Rhule is on my short leash. Love the draft but not trusting in him fully yet.

The Huddle believes Hurney simultaneously has no power and is also the reason for everything wrong with the Panthers

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.

      Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
