Last Year’s Draft

As much as some hate Hurney (and I understand and agree with most reasons) he did great in last year’s draft. We possibly got our WR1 and CB1 as well as Olsen’s replacement. Carter and Haynes still have potential with Carter possibly taking our Shaq’s Position. If we can get anything out of Gaulden (SS or Nickel) you are looking at 4 to 5 starters with us having a late pick. If Gaulden was a miss Hurney still got a steal in Thomas. That’s 3 definite starters with 3 (Haynes, Carter, and Gaulden) looking to still have potential. Hopefully new Hurney can replicate this success this year with both our lines and safety positions.

Did Haynes do anything of note this year? Just asking, I didn't notice him really at all.

I feel pretty good with last years draft. Moore and Jackson alone would have been acceptable, but adding Thomas-- right when we're needing a new TE is huge. I'd like to see more of Gaulden, but my expectations are low. I agree on Carter too. Maybe one of the two LBs will grow into someone. If we manage 4 starters from this draft eventually, I'll consider it one of the best in recent time.

Camp he looked great 

Really good speed and quickness which is what the scouts had for him.

Got activated I think the first ATL game, got abused and pushed around like a kid.    Then didnt get activated again until the last 2 games of the season.

After 2009, 2010, and 2011 that mother fuger had better have knocked last year's draft out of park.

That's probably one of the reasons that Tepper kept him. As much as some Huddlers here want to try and belittle the impact of the draft, the organizations that sustain success are the ones that mainly build through the draft and supplement their teams with free agency. The Steelers are the epitome of a franchise that sustains itself by drafting well (and of course developing in-house talent).

  The Steelers demand winning. I can guarantee they wouldn’t keep a GM with a 25% success rate. There’s more to being a GM than hitting a first round pick.

And while I think they will be better

Lets wait and not jump the gun.  Remember some of Gettlemans draft

KB- was the next coming and had a bigger year than Moore despite missing a few games to injury.

Bene- was rated the top overall rookie DB following his rookie year.  And was top 15 pick on every redraft after the season, along with Tre Boston which everyone had a 1st round in end of rookie year remock

 

All those guys are gone and it hurt this team

I absolutely agree, but your criterion for a 25% "success" rate is likely different than others'. That aside, this is Hurney's FIRST year under Tepper.  IF Hurney has another draft like the last, his stock may go up. I'm sure Tepper likes stocks that increase and have even higher potential to increase, regardless of how they performed nearly a decade ago.

Considering the stock “tanked” last year, just like it did in its previous four, what potential has this “stock” shown? 

  What success rate would you like to use? How deep a “cherry-picking” you going to do to gloss over 5 losing seasons in a row, 3 of 12 in playoffs. You know, actual relevant FACTS.

The ability to learn and improve upon fast failures is a wonderful thing.  

Patience can be a virtue for many reasons.

  So what did he learn in his time as a DJ to help him with his salary cap issues? Is that normally where GMs go to improve their skill sets? Local AM radio? 

 29-51 with

51-28-1 without. 

Which stock you buying again?

      I don't know about you but I have been a life long Chiefs fan for the past 4 years.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Sure there's a ton of transplants in Colorado now. But as far as Denver in particular goes the Broncos have also been around for 65 years. Someone moving to Denver is going to be far more likely to become a fan of the Broncos and even attend games versus someone moving to Charlotte and the Panthers. Like I said it's not just one single thing with us it's multiple factors.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      He's definitely getting better. It's fun to watch.  I've been getting killed for this take, but with the current state of college football, it just takes more time to develop a quarterback. I don't think it's a plug and play position anymore. I'm really not sure if it ever was. NFL offenses have always been substantially more complex than the college game, and the college game has simplified even more in recent years. Many college teams do not have a physical playbook anymore. That's just not the national football league.  Are there freaks who have success from day 1? Yes, without question. But so many of those guys are runners, and so many of those guys tail off. Is Bryce ever going to be Josh Allen? Probably not.  What I am seeing is a guy with complete command of the offense. He's checking into things at the line, making adjustments, and making timely throws.  He goes to David Moore a ton, because Moore is a consistent route runner. Bryce knows where he is and when he should be open. I think the guy with the "super processor" needs to be comfortable in the offense in order to do the "super processing." He doesn't have elite arm talent, and he is small of stature, but if he makes the smart play consistently, and he's willing to throw the ball downfield and not make mistakes, like he's starting to show, he's going to be a starter for a long time in this league, and it's not a position I'd spend draft capital right now.
