So you're saying that Hurney was almost always able to nail his 1st rounders?

Isn't that what everybody has been saying all along?

Drafting is more about just All Pros. The issue with our drafting is that it has largely been boom or bust. We’ve had numerous entire draft classes that were entire busts or where we got one great player and the rest was utter trash. Those types of drafts really show up on your overall depth chart. It’s how you end up with our secondary last year and fielding a WR corps of practice squad players in a playoff game.

No I'm saying out of the entire league we have done very well drafting first team All Pros. Which is pretty cool. I also find it interesting GB only has 2 which really shows how much Rodgers has done for that team.

In AP first team selections, #1.

You can look at it with a 'but we haven't won a SB with 'em' attitude, but I'd rather just enjoy it as cool too.

Packers with 23 pro bowlers and only two made all pro? Seems legit.

About 50% of drafted players actually make it in the league.  Hurney is damn near 100% in the first round, which means that his picks which are potentially great hit with regularity.  His other picks drag his performance down to normal levels, but since his hits are consistent in round one, he actually ends up drafting better than most.  Everyone just thinks he sucks because half his day two picks fail, and he doesn't manage to find all-pros in day three.

Browns have been drafting at the top of the 1st for years and have zero to show for it... 

When things get bad in Charlotte just remember...

[GoPanthers123]

That's Browns for you, find a way don't they?  I want them out of the league, will make Nfl more watchable.

Kind of proves the Pro Bowl is a popularity contest saying.

Most of those who say our drafts suck are also the ones who always proclaim we suck. They were particularly loud, wrong and stupid last year as they decried an 11-5 season.
