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..

:rofl: wow hasn't even played a down in ATL and hes already overrated.

:biggrin5: Was the only smartass comment I could come up with to a thread that has been made 5978875878723423856729587495798787874854545 times. Robinson=DeAngelo Hall second coming IMO.

    • Watching Williams last night, guy has an arm and nfl ability  i see no future with Young.  either a player has nfl ability or they dont  cant survive on 20 or less points a game 
    • Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?
    • Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.
