Why Hurney will trade down.

1. It's in his DNA. He trained with Bobby 'I never draft in the first round' Bethard.

2. There is not one player in this draft worth guaranteeing 50 million + to. There is no rookie salary cap and there wasn't going to be one this year anyway. Remember everyone throwing a fit at Luck going back to school and saying 'this is his last shot at a big payday'? Can you imagine the fallout if we take Darius and we pay him that. We have just become the Raiders and fuged up the salary structure for every team in the NFL for DT's

3. I do not feel he, JR, nor Rivera have a clear cut #1 can't miss guy on their board and honestly there isn't one. This is not a great draft class, let someone else screw the pooch cap wise and pay 50+ mill to someone that has a greater chance than normal to bust.

Several teams will make an offer and they should take the best one. Get back at least the 2nd rounder we lost and hopefully a 1st or 2nd thrown in next year.

Now This is just my opinion looking at his history, JR's history and the draft class in general along with our needs. Also we have a real shot with this rookie HC, a QB has to sit period none are ready, you can't saddle a rookie HC with that and there is NO DT period worth the #1 pick even Suh.

The phone ain't ringing. And it likely won't this year. Not the type of draft where people are clamoring to move that far up.

I believe New england would trade up there to get Von Miller. But that would put us at the bottom we cant trade that far down. I would say maybe 10 is the farthest i trade down. No further

just because something is in someones DNA doesn't mean he can create trades out of nothing.

look, I'd love to trade down, but it just isn't going to happen. the only teams wanting to trade up are way, way down, and they won't give us what it will take to move up to #1 when they can just give much less to #2 or #5, both who have been rumored to be trying to leave their spots.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
