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.

    • Lions were never going Freeling over Miller for the same reason we wouldn't have taken Miller had Freeling not been on the board. Miller is a career RT Lions have a hole at RT, we have a hole at LT. If we took Miller, it would have been for him to backup Moton until he retires and/or we release him, so the best case scenario is it would have been a wasted 1st round pick for at least 1, if not 2 years.  At least Freeling has a shot at playing this year without injury ahead of him, he absolutely can win the LT job if he earns it, but Miller would have never supplanted Moton this year unless he got hurt.
    • What up y’all. I like threads like this where we can stroll down memory lane. I remember the insane amount of site traffic pre-crash when we signed Keyshawn Johnson, 06 I believe. Raging about the Cowboys Christmas Eve loss in 05 (Peppers touched that FG attempt as sure as Cotchery caught it). When I found the huddle I basically had a first born baby, now I’ve got one in college and one in high school. Life comes at you fast, but the Panthers and the Huddle has been a steady constant in my life for many years.  Those who have been here, y’all are cool with me any time any where.    Cheers, genitals!
    • This is a weird post since it wasn’t like we got A’s across the board. We needed a QB and got a consensus top 2 player at that position. (I was pretty vocal that Stroud should’ve been the guy but…)  I think this draft we generally got better value. I’m not particularly optimistic on BY but another year in this offense playing with TMac he really needs to be a consistently average QB at a minimum
