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.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
