Just stumbled across this gem

I just dont get how this guy is on the payroll.

 

I know it has been rumored that he isnt going to be GM much longer.  But those same rumors say he may become some director of scouting role.  Which matches with Teppers evaluator of Talent quote.

His drafting the second go around has been way better than the previous tenure, his draft woes aren’t a strong reason to fire him if a reason at all.

he’s older and should be giving the reigns to someone younger anyway, I’m good with him until that candidate comes along, assuming tepper knows what he’s doing

What are the "rumors"?

I'm curious what the "insiders" are saying about who is on the short-list of GM candidates Tepper will be choosing from?

the draft is maybe 20% of of a GMs job...and his specialty (or really any competent GM), the top of the first round, is like 5%.

Well this specific thread is focusing on the drafting aspect, and there’s a thread previously explaining how well he is as at drafting based on the percentage of hit and misses after the first rd.

Whether you like/dislike or just lumping yourself in on the say something negative about Hurney every post thread..Greg Little checked all the boxes of what we needed then. It was a good pick!

 

5. Greg Little, Ole Miss

6. Yodny Cajuste, West Virginia

Little has all the talent in the world, and the size, girth, and length basically every team looks for in a 10-year stud at left tackle. You watch his film, and you see quarters and quarters of lockdown play on the left side. Then, two or three rough plays hit when he lunges and gets off balance, or is overwhelmed by power or a good counter move. With a little more strength and fine-tuning with his technique, Little can be a solid left tackle for a long time in the NFL.

2018 

WR - DJ Moore - Hit

CB - D. Jackson - Barely Acceptable (mostly because he can't stay on the field)

S - Gaulden - Miss

TE. Thomas - Miss Was supposed to take over for Olsen and hasn't come close to being the answer at TE

DE  Haynes - Acceptable for his round Starting to show promise

LB Carter - Acceptable for his round Better than Whitehead but probably not the answer at MLB

LB Smith - Miss - Off the team

Norton - Miss - Off the team

2019

DE - Burns - Hit

OT - Little - Miss

QB - Grier - Miss

LB - Miller - probably Miss Showed promise but opted out -

RB - Scarlett - Miss Couldn't beat out Bonnefan an UDFA still on the team but no production

OT - Daley Hit better than 2nd round pick Little.  Can't stay healthy

WR - Godwin Miss

2020 (More Rhule than Hurney)

DT - Brown HIT

DE - YGM - HIT

S- Chinn - HIT

CB - Pride - HIT Has shown promise and with experience may turn into a good starter

S - Robinson - Miss couldn't make the final 53 and ended on Practice squad won't make the team next year

DT - Roy - HIT Solid rotational player 

CB- Stanley Thomas-Oliver -Hit has actual seen playing time. Not bad for a 7th rounder.

 

2018 really the only steady player is Moore. Cater and Haynes are the only reason this draft was mediocre at best

2019 Abysmal Outside of Burns and Daley we missed badly and this was all on Hurney

2020 IMO this was a Rhule led draft and a major reason we hit more than we missed.

Little also had major flaws that every team passed on until Hurney.  

No he wasn't a good pick.  A good pick makes the playing field and produces.  The only thing he has produced is help Defensive Ends pad their sack totals.

I’ve seen articles mentioning Luke as a possible Gm. But you know this “mr scot” guy who knows everything about football told me it ain’t happening. However, I’ve seen guys like John Elway and John Lynch having zero background in running a team become successful GMs. 

I was just being a fan when suggesting Luke. I think his next role is another level of coach somewhere if he wants to remain in football. Mr. Scot is a lifer here and I appreciate his takes even when I have a differing opinion than him.

Did you see his combine. It was horrible. His footwork was terrible, his reaction speed terrible, he looked like a pig on ice skates. He didn't look like a late round tackle.

    • They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.
    • I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there. 
    • 10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
