Better than I would have thought. 

I do feel like there is some positional bias to this scoring. I don't think it is as effective at gauging IDL/OL players versus QB's, WR's, etc.

I like the PFR AV overall, though. They did retire the old CarAV and replace it with wAV.

First reaction was suspicion of that being the case. Whatever, we are getting ready to see what is what soon enough.

This time next week the game thread will be off the hook one way or another

Yeah we have waited a long time. 

I'm still waiting until week 3 before I look too closely at things. Early season fog over the league in general, no film of the offense really, we might be able to do a little better early. 

(which is just about the same thing I said last year, and what a disaster it turned out to be. Who even needed film?).

Aside from McCaffrey Hurney’s picks are the best…

Ahh, Gettleman. Gettleman with Tepper could have had a very entertaining dynamic.

From OP:

Using PFR's weighted Approximate Value.

If its based on weight, Kelvin Benjamin wins.

Yup. All GMs miss, but Hurney was a pretty good one aside from contract mgt. never thought I’d say that. To me, SS89 in the third will forever be the most important pick in franchise history. The number of games won due directly to the influence of that 1 man will never be equaled by this team again.

Hurney was mainly a 1st round specialist. His 2nd through 7th was pretty rough historically.

I know he was the main influence, but Marty had to agree. I think George told him at his first practice to not f this up.

He still hit on some guys in those rounds too....

Guys like Ryan Kalil, Josh Norman, Greg Hardy...

1000x better than whatever the fug UnFitterer was doing....

He was a specialist at drafting all busts...

Travelle was a 3rd rounder wasn’t he a Hurney pick?

I remember being pretty pissed about Bruce Nelson.

This team has been totally stripped of talent since he left.  We all loved to bash Hurney and fox and Rivera but damn if I'm not sorry about it.  It can always get worse.  Hopefully we finally start to turn the ship around this year.
