Say what you want about the guy, but the guy has had some solid drafts. Almost the entire 2012 draft by Hurney played well. And as much poo as hes been given about armanti, it seems that qb to wr project has finally paid off. I give the man mad props. He may not know how to structure contracts but he did set carolina up with some decent players for years to come

Good at making draft picks or not. Those huge contracts would have screwed us over for many years to come! Thank God Gettleman Knows how to do business!

He was good at drafting in the first round. In the other rounds? "Meh" at best.

 

Armanti may or may not be a good WR in the end of it all. But all the cap problems and lousy contracts far outweighed his draft "prowess".

 

He seems like a good guy to have a beer with, though.

2011 draft not looking so good (minus Cam, of course)

The problem with the Armanti pick was that we drafted him too high. We probably could have acquired him after the draft.  Now I hate to think about who we passed up to get him (perhaps someone else would like to entertain us with that), but suffice it to say that that deal will always epitomize anti-value (if you will).

Accepting the premise that Edwards was a good draft pick, we still gave up too much to get him. And he's far from the only pick about whom that can be said.

However you feel about the actual picks, Hurney's draft strategy was a major weak point.

From Armanti's pick to our next pick in the 4th round of that draft (Norwood), we missed a solid quadruplate of TEs (Jimmy Graham, Moeaki, Dennis Pitta, Aaron Hernandez), Navorro Bowman, and Geno Atkins. 

 

So...yeah.

I didn't really want you to take me up on it...(LOL).  

 

Talkin' about a total breakdown.  This thread should now be fail-.gif approved, but I guess it would be politically incorrect being that Armanti seems to have finally stepped up his game.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
