eh. I still see picks like Devin and Ealy (though that might be because I had higher expectations for both) as worse picks. It was nice at the time to draft a T who at least one time was held in high regard and wasn't from some Div.II college. 

 

Sucks but I've been mad about worse picks in the 2nd.

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.

losing beane was really, really bad

What makes it even worse is if we had just stayed put we could have snagged McCoy right before NO. 

Kept our 1st 3rd for Winovich and used our 2nd on CGJ (we needed a safety). 

And the worst part is everyone here knew Little was a bad pick except for Hurney. It's mind numbing how bad his 2nd and 3rd round picks were with a couple of exceptions.

Little, Armanti Edwards, Dwayne Jarrett, Gaulden, Silatolu, Clausen, Fua, Everette Brown, and even Colbert...  all 2nd and 3rd rounders.

Yeesh.

I always credited Hurney for his hit rates on first rounders, but all his blunders elsewhere made him absolutely atrocious.  I always said, our 2nd and 3rd round picks under him quite possibly had to be the worst in the league during his tenure.

      XL about to turn the corner

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
