Remove the Brown and Edwards trades and we have 2 1st round picks that could be on team right now at positions of needs.

Hurney is the Obama of GMs, we are the Solyndra of NFL

Or Hurney is the GWB of GMs, and we are the world financial collapse of 2008.

Or maybe both of our last presidents were Hurney in disguise and ...

Aww, it just doesn't matter we're screwed.

Pretty good...JR's arrogance has cost this team in more ways than just Hurney's contract foibles. Quote from article says it all...

The guy who bankrolled all of these moves — the same person who has kept Hurney employed for a full decade now — is Panthers owner Jerry Richardson. Richardson is a former player held in high regard among his fellow owners around the league, but remember that he's the same guy who reportedly dismissed the likes of Drew Brees and Peyton Manning during the lockout negotiations by insulting their intelligence and asking them if they knew how to read the revenue chart. It seems ironic that an owner who doesn't trust the players to understand basic economics has entrusted his team to a general manager who doesn't seem to have a strong grasp on it, either..

That article conveniently forgets to mention that he's had more hits in the 1st round than any other GM in football during his time here.

I agree with you there, but the first round is the easiest round to find talent. Its his misses in the second and third, where you find the most bang for your buck that has really hurt us. Also his refusal to use the FA market to improve the team. All we ever sign is back up scrubs. The NFL does not sit idle, teams continue to grow and improve. We cant just sit and watch the train role by every year during FA. You look at the teams that are consistently pretty good year in and year out. It is the ability to hold on to draft picks, use them wisely, use FA market to fill needs, and do not over pay for players. This team really has a hard time doing these things for some reason.

For the nine bajillionth time: Hurney picks who the coaches want. The cap issues are on him, but the bad drafting is a tandem of the entire front office.

Barnwell usually does better homework than this.

GM is in charge of personnel. Not Rivera

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
