Has Hurney ever picked a bust in round 1?

[Montsta]

A. Brown isn't a bust yet. 2. Goodson defiantly isn't a bust.

I was just making a point for the sake of argument, but I haven't really seen much improvement in Brown's game to think he will not be a bust whenever the mandatory "can't be labeled a bust quite yet" period has ended.

I hope I'm wrong though.

Maybe it was just me, but I thought Brown was coming on late in the season before his injury. Seemed to be a stretch of a few games there where he was playing well.

What? You mean people watching from home might be mistaken about a players on the field contributions? Can't be.

It is entirely possible that every play that I'm paying attention to #91 he is coincedentally spinning until he's knocked on his ass. I don't watch him every play so you may be right mav.

I'll be 100% honest with you, my eyes used to be fixed on #90 before and after every snap when we were on D. For the first time in damn near a decade I had to find a new focal point on defense, so now I mostly watch Beason. Often though in my peripheral vision I will see a guy with his back to the quarterback. I lol when it's Brown.

Ever since he blew the competition away.

Well played sir

I think Brown will be better utilized in the new defense. He should be put at OLB in pass rush situations and used like a 3-4 edge rusher whenever possible. He'll never be an every down starter in a 4-3, IMO, but I do think he can be a great pass-rush specialist if McDermott can get creative and move him around to put him in the best position to get pressure on the QB.

So that's why I will be ok with whomever we pick. I don't really want us to take Cam but if we do our FO must no he is going to be good in the near future

Well at least we don't have to worry about a 2nd round bust this year.

lol I said the exact same thing in a different thread on here.

he had 2.5 sacks in the last few games before his injury, or some number like that. something seemed to click before he got hurt... hopefully...

I think 2nd round is Hurney's highest bust pick (Jarrett) but again, Hurney doesn't do these evaluations alone.

He's made way worse second round picks than Jarrett.

[Stroupe-a-loop]

He's been good in the first and he has also been good at the top of the first: Peppers (2nd) and Gross (8th). I'm worried about a lot of things with this team, but I have confidence in Hurney to get this pick right. I also think the team's drafting in the rounds after the first has gotten a lot better since Softli left.

You can't just pin someone down to picks in a certain round. You have to look at the draft in whole. Only difference is you can't miss in the 1st and 2nd round. We are currently paying for the Brown and Edwards pick. However, we have done really well in the past grabbing guys like Steve Smith late. All in all we typically draft very well with the occasional miss. Reality is you really build your team by finding the diamonds in the ruff in the later rounds. That is where the teams like the Patriots, Steelers, and Packers constantly amaze me. And this is why they dominate year after year.

Disagree, but I accept that it's debatable (sadly) :(

What offensive talent has Hurney drafted in his time with the Panthers? (besides the RB's). He's done a great job with defensive players but we all know where the problem is in regards to the draft.
