Hurney in the 2nd was one of the absolute guarantees that you have in football.

 

He messed up a couple times, but his ability to pick absolute trash between 33 and 68 in each draft was amazing to witness, and made my cry on the regular.

I simply do not understand how he was so terrible in the 2nd, he was worse at that than anything else pertaining to his job...and he was flat ass awful at being an NFL GM.

Well the writing was on the wall for Little. Not worth the $1.1 million in base salary he was owed. So instead of flat out cutting him, we get a 7th round pick. And even though it's kind of pennies in the grand scheme of the cap, we also save an extra $100,000 on our cap compared to cutting him ($100k of his 2021 salary is guaranteed).

At the same time, I get it from the Dolphins standpoint. They need line help and are probably hoping that Little's pedigree gives him a shot to turn it around in a new environment. And if he doesn't, they can just cut him and only have to pay $100k and the lost 7th round pick. If he even turns into a serviceable swing tackle and starts a game or two due to injury, it's probably worth it for them. Granted, I seriously doubt he'll do that and is more likely to not even make their 53, but it's a low risk proposition for them.

I wonder if this is a further indication Rhule is coming around on Moton/Christensen LT/RT combo...

Cause as much as love this team, going into the season with Cam Erving and Trent Scott as our LT's is absolute malfeasance...

It can't be worse than the Bell/Chandler combo we rolled with in 2014.

      Did someone say "hybrid" player?

      There are a couple of options. One is just to not accept your commission and just pay back the Academy for your education. Alot of money for normal folk, but if you're drafted high enough it's a drop in the bucket. You'll need a waiver not to go in enlisted, but normally drafted players get waivers to join the reserves instead of active duty military. Showing that you can actually go to the NFL from a military academy is much better for recruitment than having one more officer on a ship/sub/aircraft. Things were different in the Staubach and David Robinson days. I remember Mike Wahle just paying back the Academy after getting kicked out for steroids after his junior year. Not a big deal when you're drafted in the 2nd round.

      Whoever you get has to be able to shoot a 3 for spacing purposes, especially if you want to replace Miles at 4 with Moose and run a different center.    I like the Miles for Giannis trade idea but where do you put him? At center?    Can you imagine a double screen and roll/slip with with Lamelo, Giannis and Kon... 👀   If you do that trade you need another free agent / draft pick to play at 4 that can stretch the floor otherwise I don't think it works.
