Hurney through draft and free agency put some DUDES on this team, and largely kept them here. Hardy going psycho may have cost us a Super Bowl. With him still on the team,  we don’t lose that game. He got us Norwell. Prohel Jake, Ginn, Olsen kalil, Kris, agent 58, kuechly, hardy, and probably many more that I can’t remember. Leaders. Winners. Guys who never quit. Fox. He kept many past their prime but we had an identity. 

Wait, are you counting the Ginn family as a win?

I mean, as frustrating as he was, yes. However he’s getting the history wrong, hurney was fired in 2012, ginn joined the team in 2013 and 2015 which means it was a gettleman signing. He had 10 TDs in 2015, which is a credit to what a monster Cam was at that time

This was spawned by looking up how Shaq Thompson stacked up in the 2015 draft.

Using PFR's weighted Approximate Value.

2023: Bryce Young, Drafted #1, Ranked #21

2022: Ikem Ekwonu, Drafted #6, Ranked #27

2021: Jaycee Horn, Drafted #8, Ranked #89

2020: Derrick Brown, Drafted #7, Ranked #17

2019: Brian Burns, Drafted #16, Ranked #16

2018: DJ Moore, Drafted #24, Ranked #11

2017: Christian McCaffery, Drafted #8, Ranked #4

2016: Vernon Butler, Drafted #30, Ranked #103

2015: Shaq Thompson, Drafted #25, Ranked #33

2014: Kelvin Benjamin, Drafted #28, Ranked #78

6 amazing 1st rounders and yes I am including Bryce.  Too bad the best 3 were traded in what can be considered as the worst trades in NFL history.  Seriously all three were incredibly stupid

How was Ginn not a win? He was a very solid deep threat with Cam throwing up him. I don't see how one couldn't claim him as a win of a singing. He wasn't going to set the world on fire as a possession receiver with good hands but one thing that guy did well was run for a bomb.

I don't see much in the way of amazing. The only one that really significantly outplayed their position was Moore and it isn't what I would consider "amazing."

Of the trades one is clearly awful(Burns) because of what was on the table before.

CMC was an insanely good haul which Fitterer promptly squandered. 

The Moore trade will completely revolve around Young's career. If he becomes a franchise QB, no one will mention it as a bad trade. If Young flops, it will be a terrible trade.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
