Took a look back at the original Draft Day trade that netted Greg Little just to see how it shook out...

The Panthers obtained the #37 pick that was used to draft Little by trading the #47 and #77 picks to the Seattle Seahawks.

With the 47th pick, the Seahawks took defensive back Marquise Blair. Looked him up and reports are that he's having a good camp after being lost to injury last year. Seattle apparently plans to have him as their starting nickel corner.

The Seahawks didn't stand pat with the #77 pick though. They wound up trading it along with their fourth rounder (#118) to the Patriots for pick #64.

Then with the 64th pick, the Seahawks selected wide receiver DK Metcalf.

A little bit thereafter, the Patriots spent the 77th pick on defensive end Chase Winovich.

Twenty three spots later, the Panthers selected quarterback Will Grier.

...

Probably also worth remembering that the Seattle front office at the time included current Panthers GM Scott Fitterer.

Hurney was the fugging worst. 

But…but… the Pom Pom club assured everyone that Hurney 2.0 would be different because he learned from his mistakes during his AM radio gig. While not getting a phone call from any other team. The entire time. Who could have predicted this outcome?

I think Dave was just Hurney with a worse personality. Look at how horrible the Giants are. Ironically Brandon Beane was the best GM in our organization but JR was so horrible he overlooked him for years. Oh well its history now.

      XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.

      Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.

      Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
