Brilliant post dip poo.

Hopefully one of these days I can become as smart as the rest of yas and can figure out how trading the 89th pick for the 33rd pick is a good deal. Right now I am just struggling with that.

If picks even remotely mirrored production I could see where you would be struggling, but since they are nowhere close and never have been you can stop worrying yourself.

I hate the trade for AE. I would have fired Hurney for it. I don't hate AE, though I do get tired off all of his nut huggers talking about him like he is some great physical specimen.

And I never said that I wouldn't trade a 2nd round pick for Jerry Rice. That wasn't the trade that Hurney made. Hurney traded a 2nd round pick in a year in which we all knew the Panthers would at best be 8-8 and therefore picking in the first half of the draft for a player that was going to be drafted in the 4th round. That's a bad trade. MH you are smart enough to figure that out. Some of the other posters, not so much.

I don't believe he would have been there 2 rounds later. Someone within the following 20 picks would have taken a flyer on him.

I trust professionals. I don't trust you. Take a step outside your own little bubble and look in. You might be disappointed.

It's not about the numbers of the picks, it's about production. All you really hope for out of the second round is a good starter; if AE becomes that, it'll have been a good trade.

If AE became Jerry Rice, it'd be a fuging steal.

To state the obvious, I think Hurney felt that AE with a year under his belt would have been worth a second round pick, and that's why he took him.

First of all Hurney did not know it would be 33rd pick. How would you feel trading 89th pick for 59th pick and the guy become probowler? Trades always hit or miss. If AE becomes probowler this year, everyone will say how smart hurney is. Nature of business. Guy becomes probowler - everyone loves GM, guy is a bust - GM is an idiot.

Trust me; Hurney will never look like a genius with the AE trade. AE could turn into Jerry fuging Rice and Hurney still gave up way too much to draft him.

You're right. I would never give up Ras-I Dowling for the greatest receiver to ever play the game.

Not even getting into the player, the statement of trading the 33rd pick for the 89th is false. Hurney traded a pick that was currently unknown for the known 89th pick. That trade had a degree of risk involved for the other end of the trade. For that reason, they get a step up.

After that, you can argue whether or not Edwards is worth it as a player, irregardless of where he was picked.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
