No, Hurney has not always drafted BPA. He may say they have but it's just not true. Everett Brown, Eric Shelton and Jimmy Clausen are 2nd round examples of him not going BPA. There are several more examples in later rounds. In the 1st he has even taken a couple of need picks over BPA and that has hurt us somewhat even though all of his 1st have panned out at least skill wise.

Loving this draft so far. The fact that they didn't sign any FA CBs and DTs should have told fans the teams feelings about Hogan, Fua and McClain.

I've seen three comparison's to Silatolu

- Jahri Evans

- Larry Allen

- Rob Sims

So I guess if we have...

Jahri Evans/Larry Allen/Rob Sims in Amini Silatolu

And

Zach Thomas/Brian Urlacher in Luke Kuechly

I can't complain lol.

Yeah, Evans is the comparison I was coming to mention. If true, great pick, I just know nothing about the guy. I'll reserve judgment.

Don't we always draft BPA? I just want to understand why we dont have a championship. I don't think we should gamble, its just not a true statement. Elite QB play, and Elite D-Line, is how championship are won. You usally have to get those in the first.

So you're ready to give up on McClain and Fua after one season?

Clausen was an example of BPA, Hurney said it himself, said Clausen was so much higher on their board then anyone else when our pick came up that they had to take him.

Brown was an example of drafting for need out of desperation and you see where that got us.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By strato · Posted

      I am gonna believe it wasn’t us if the 4th round pick price is accurate. We needed 225 points to get from 19 to their pick. 875 at 19 to 1100 at 14.  Our 2026 4th was valued at 56 points I think. A future 4th has less value. So that wasn’t close to enough.    It would have taken our third and our fourth. Comes within a point of even.    Now, moving to their spot in the second round we could have done but after Miami took Rodriguez why would we?

      I mean it's expected.  This is the NBA.  And they hate the Charlotte Hornets.  Flagg was also the guy "magically" given to the Mavs who lost Luca to the wildly popular Lakers.  Was always an uphill battle.  But the award is BS since it's not voted on before play-in starts. Kon probably lost because of the play-in as many people switched votes.  It was a regular season award, so this is some nonsense.  Kon also didn't have the luxury of taking 10 games off to rest up injuries like Flagg did.  If he did, he wouldn't have been nursing his back the last month.  I mean, screw him for being on an actual playoff team that matters.  Flagg took tons of shots a game, he was wildly inefficient.  Kon was a huge reason the Hornets made the play-in and turned the season around after Jan.   I think Flagg will probably be the better player long term, or at least the most impact.  But Kon should have won ROTY.
