Has anyone noticed how much better Hurney is getting at draft picks?

Since 2006 or 2007 Hurney has been getting pretty freakin' good at draft picks. He has always had stellar first rounds, and even thought I know its collective process, i would imagine Hurney has the most say so next to J. Fox. Since Hurney has been here look at the All-Pro talent he has uncovered, and the solid back-ups: 2 probowlers at RB(stewart would be a pro-bowler if he started), a probowl left tackle, a solid right tackle, probowl center, WR sucks tho but moving on; 2 probowl linebackers, 2 more great linebackers for depth, best cornerback in the nfl south, a steal of a nickleback in round 7, and two free saftey's coming into their own.

LOL at this thread.

Hurney's team is stellar at the first round, mediocre in the second round, pathetic compared to most teams in later rounds except for the Munnerlyn steal.

name me these 'most teams' that can find studs in the later rounds on a consistent basis.

When did I say on a "consistent" basis? How about more than ONE late-rounder stepping up to be a major contributor? Until the Captain Munnerlyn pick, I'm not sure you could point to a single late-round pick under Marty Hurney that's amounted to being more than an occasional rotational guy. And really, that's all that Munnerlyn is right now too, although I think we all agree he has the opportunity to become much more.

Exactly what I was about to say. there isn't a team in the league that consitantly finds stud afet round 2. Everything after there is a crap shoot and has alot to do with luck. If there was a team that could consitantly land 2 starters from rounds 3-7 per year then they would be the best team in the league every year.

Bottom line as much time and effort that goes into the NFL draft. It is all still a crap shoot..

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
