Hurney & Building Through The Draft

[bleedpantherblue]

As everyone can see I never post on here, but read over the threads several times a day. I just don't understand how Hurney says he wants to build through the draft when all he does is trade/waste draft picks. Good teams who build through the draft stack up draft picks. Hurney has now wasted this years 5th & 6th on Tyler & Leonard. Gave up next years 2nd for Edwards who doesn't even get a uniform. Not to mention the first he gave up for E. Brown. I don't get his plan at all. He says one thing and does another and it looks like he will be here for as long as he wishes.

The first was for Brown and Goodson. So far that's a wash to me.

The problem with building through the draft is that you can't be positive your late round picks will work out. As it stands right now, David Gettis, Brandon LaFell and Armanti Edwards are our future at WR. I only trust one of those guys. Brown and Johnson are our bookend DEs unless they get the balls to use Hardy. Of those three, I trust only Hardy.

Hurney has made some great picks here, and some horrible picks. Trying to build through the draft is too much of a gamble in the NFL. You need to have a team that can compete from day one, and then sprinkle in your draft picks and watch them grow and learn from the vets. This isn't college basketball. You can't watch kids grow up to be beasts in a four year span. Right now, we have a small core of great players and a bunch of unproven youngsters. And according to Hurney, that's our plan. Unproven youngsters from here on out. I guess they just expect us all to sit around and be patient. I have season tickets so I will do just that, but other fans may not.
