This coming from the guy who, about 8 months ago, offered our first rounder this year to move up to get Clausen. If he did and we gave NE the 33rd pick for Edwards and St Louis the first pick in the 2011 draft for Clausen, Hurney would have to apply for FBI round the clock protection.

Actually my understanding was that we didn't offer St Louis a first rounder in 2011 which is why they didn't do the deal. As for the Edwards pick, it may be a crappy deal going forward but other than Kalil, it isn't like we have hit on very many 2nd rounders including this year.

Maybe I'm the only one who really listened closely to the interview. After almost a decade of hearing Hurney, I have learned that he will leave slight hints every now then about what he is really thinking if you just look past the regurgitated stuff.

When asked about trying to keep D-Will, he said they would absolutely make every effort because he was part of the core and they will always try to keep the core. That set him up for the next question which caused him to stumble through a little. Did he consider Clausen part of the core? He never said yes, instead just talking about how Clausen can be a really good NFL QB, but the more he talked the bigger hole he dug. He started talking about how there are areas of the team that needed improvement. Then he moved on to how important the QB position is in the modern NFL. Then moved on to how important a good passing QB is in the league because it is a passing league. Then moved on to the other teams in the division and how they are good because of the QB's skills and leadership they supply.

Then when he was finished with all that hashing he was asked again if Clausen was a core and his answer told loads. He said that Carolina must have a QB like Brees or Ryan or someone else with good skills to compete in the divison. Whether that future be built around Clause or.....(quick pause) someone else.

Yeah, if anyone thinks Hurney is seriously including Clausen in his "we will develop our young players" philosophy, don't worry. Clausen is not on his radar much.

Yep.

Hopefully they are really understanding that the NFL, and ESPECIALLY the NFC South, have become QB-centric offenses with stud QBs. This should pave the way for John Fox's exit as that's completely against his MO.

I listened, and that was my take as well.

Hurney HAS to go... based on the AE pick alone...

I know he may not be, but he hasn't been such a wizard lately as he once was...

It will be hard with Fox and the rest of the staff likely out (hopefully) to get a new GM in here, but we need to do what is best for us in the long term, and that is move on...

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
