This offseason the Panthers signed Mike Tolbert to upgrade over Goodson, whom was traded to the Raiders for Campbell whom is depth at the RT position for when Jeff Otah is traded to the Jets for a draft pick to make up for trading a draft pick to the same Raiders for Louis Murphy to sure up our receiver corps. Traded a fumble machine and a cripple to get a viable receiver who can block and a solid backup with potential (All at no cost!) and signed a beast on the cheap. What a day.

It's almost as if it was all planned out from the beginning. Dump off dead weight to make the roster better not just on offense but special teams as well. Give Hurn-dawg props where it is due. :clap:

Didn't think this needed its own thread, so I'll drop it here as it could relate to some potential Hurney Magic.

Think he knows something we don't?

Maybe, but lets sit on that one before we make assumptions. Too many assumptions today, hurts my brain.

Cripple for a WR who just had a recent injury himself this past season. If that is true what some people said. Yes decent trade. But only if Murphy doesn't get hurt again and he can produce. Then the trade is all worth it.

We waited too long to get rid of Otah (former 1st rounder who we gave up picks for) and could only get a 7th for him. Hurney is Hurney. Not terrible, not great. Somwhere in the middle. Only magic he has is staying average.

this is true.. It's not Hurney Magic because that would imply Hurney can do the impossible, and that is what it would take for Hurney to be respected by some..

I think that's the expectation the coaching staff has as well... after all, our current rookie 7th round pick may not even make the team, so if all we lose is a 7th for Murphy (worst case scenario) then so be it.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
