Best Drafting Teams

[chef17]

I really really really thought it was obvious that I was speaking more about recent drafts. Does it really matter which teams have better drafts up to a decade ago? I'm more interested about what we're doing now. From what I've seen lately it's been pretty okay. I don't see where people get off saying it's above average.

People say it takes three years to truly judge a draft so 2010-11 can't be judged yet. So I would think 2000-2009 would be a better time frame than just the last 5 years. Also Williams was drafted a year before Beason so it's stupid not to include him on the list as well

I imagine he called you stupid because only an idiot wouldn't include Smith on that list.

To be fair, Hurney didn't draft Smith. Smith was drafted by a completely different front office.

Increasing the time frame simply extends the list to include 1st round picks and Smitty, and nobody else. I think that kind of rating would only be good for the "Which team has the greatest home runs in the draft" list. I'm more interested in how we're doing now for entire drafts, rather than 1st rounders only. I don't see why not.

Someone should coincidencely post the exact same summary. I mean, since it is a paid service it would be wrong to post it here

I think the point of this thread got lost before the submit button was even hit. Smh.

I wasn't specifically talking about Hurney, just players drafted by the team.

Wharton, Anderson, Charles Johnson (same year as Beason)? I think Floppin called you stupid because he wasn't aware you were just talking about recently but even then you still left out players

[Dpantherman]

There are people on here that have it. put it in the title so we an find out.

But we have to be incognito so as not to incur the wrath of Zod. We wouldn't want to put our huddle in harm's way afterall...

[Dpantherman]

right right

You just left off quite a few quality players from even the recent drafts. I'm sorry I called you stupid, but it's a "make a stupid statement and get a stupid response" type thing.

The problem with most fans is that they don't really follow any team, other than theirs, really closely. You know all of Hurney's draft miscues, but do you know all the other teams' as intimately? Can you name all the other big wiffs by other teams outside of the first round? Probably not. If you do take the time to look at all the players drafted by the panthers, while Hurney has been a GM, and find all players drafted that ended up as at least quality starters and compare it to other teams drafts, you will find that Hurney and the Panthers are very much above average.

Hurney has been average man. Let it go. Teams that go 2-14 and then 6-10 aren't stocked with super stars.

The whole 2007 draft was very good.

2008 was only average Stewart was top 15 and should be as good as he is. We blatantly overpaid for otah. Looks even worse because now that he doesn't really seem interested in getting healthy.

2009 was really bad, the first two picks look very wasteful.

2010 was back to average. Barely, borderline bad. Clausen looks like a waste. As does Edwards. Both receivers look like they will contribute though. Hardy looks solid.

2012 too early to tell.

[Jackofalltrades]

We have a team with a ton of talent and potential, the vast majority of those guys were drafted by Hurney. Yes, there and been misses and monumental screw ups, but overall Hurney is a top 10 GM and drafter.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

hurney said himself a GM should be judged by wins. he's below .500 overall, that doesn't equal top 10

[Jackofalltrades]

How many GM's are over .500?

[jasonluckydog]

well it aint the Dolphins that's for sure.
