I can see him parting with next years first and us drafting 2 first round picks. NOT saying I endorse it.....just got that feeling. People will be trying desperately to get rid of first rounders this year and Hurney will try to make up for not having a 3rd.

I dont see him trading away future 1st or 2nd round picks. If anything I could see us trading down in the first to pick up a 2nd and then maybe packaging those 2 move back up again. Anyway I just dont see anyway that he will trade future high round picks again. A lot of his reasoning in doing so before was directly related to John Fox.

Who would he exactly be pulling the trigger for?

The only way he would trade up is if it was a pick and player like Stewart. He won't give up multiple picks. When you don't venture into free agency every pick is very valuable.

His track record says otherwise.

He learned under Bobby Beathard, one of the guys that was known as a wheeler and dealer.

When building, and Hurney should have known that we were in that mode for the past 3 seasons, you should only trade back and get more picks, unless a franchise QB slips.

Hurney did not do this, and we are suffereing because of it.

We also used to make forays into free agency in years past. We gave up our first round in 2009 and 2010 and what happened? We lost first rounders which we could have used to get great players. We traded up for Otah and Brown and a second for Edwards. Don't you think he learned something from those mistakes???

all for it

what the hell is wrong with getting your 1st rounder a year early?

especially if you don't plan on finishing low enough to get a top ten next year anyway

when you have a run n front of you, you gladly mortgage your 20-something pick

if he does it, then I have a very good idea where his head is concerning our potential this year

players and coaches can blow "SB or bust" smoke all they want. If Marty does this, he is putting his money where his mouth is

I certainly fuging hope so. I have very little faith in our GM. However, I hope you are right, and he learned from his F up's.

If I were as bad at my job as Hurney is at his, well, let's just say I would have a lot more time on my hands.

      You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold

      Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
