Well, since the rest of the draft was CMC, Samuel, Moton, Elder, Armah and Butker, I’d say oh well. You don’t hit on every pick in a draft. Problem comes when you only hit on 1 player per draft. We’ve reversed course on that after Rhule took over with his college player knowledge and we added Fitterer.

Good point.

Remember when Tepper said Hurney was like the best college talent evaluator...

that aged well and lasted a long time...it only set the team back a couple years keeping the Hurn dog around longer 

I think Tepper went overboard to justify keeping Hurney around for smooth transition or whatever reason. I always felt that Hurney would be canned - just didn’t seem to fit the direction of the new org.

On May 12, 2018, the Carolina Panthers signed Gaulden to a four-year, $3.44 million contract that includes a signing bonus of $847,656. On November 25, 2019, Gaulden was waived by the Panthers. (Nuff Said!)

Well, let's not get too carried away too quickly. We have one data point that also includes Hurney(2020 draft class). This is basically the first Hurney-free draft we have had, so this one is the real test. 

And we won't know the results for at least 2-3 seasons.

Typical outside of the 1st rounder Hurney pick

That was the big talk after we drafted him.    It was after an interception pick 6 against Alabama by another player if I recall correctly.

Another bad draft pick that made no sense.

I remember I think it was Jalen Ramsey hyping this guy up in the off-season. I was thinking, maybe I’m wrong and he does end up being a good player. Nope, he sucked and was just being hyped up by his friend.

You know how fans jokingly say they are better than their team's GM? Well I honestly think the majority of the huddle would have been better than Hurney. Holy hell this dude and his diamond in the rough reaches. The only dude I loathe more than this man was Ron and his stubborn ass coaching.........And we had these morons as a pair What a fuggin waste of a generational QB and a generation LB. Yes, I will never live that down until we win a superbowl.

We had a GM convinced he was good at finding diamonds in the rough when he couldn't tell the difference between the Hope diamond and a lump of coal, picking players for a coach that ordered his depth chart by seniority, so even if the lumps of coal had been diamonds, they would not have played, anyway.

Awesome!

Now he can almost cripple DJ Moore on a punt return and then shove a ref!

Thats the last game I remember him appearing in.

Gaulden’s career highlight reel shown here.   Thanks for posting.  In hindsight I think we should have drafted the drunk Alabama fan. Clearly has better wing span.

By reversing course, I mean I don’t feel like a Jets fan in all those draft videos after they announce another stupid pick like I did when Marty took Little, Gaulden and Grier using 4, yes 4, day two picks. The past two drafts I didn’t want to yack after round 1.

Also, I still believe that the 2020 draft was extremely coach driven. Rhule was intent on fixing the D and that’s what he got.

Yeah, the last two drafts look like Rhule was largely in the drivers seat.

It is clearly his show right now.
