I like him--in the third.

So what your saying is a Marty Hurney first rounder.

Classic Hurney 2nd rounder. Small school? Check. Local kid? Check.

I don't have anything against small school prospects (except for OL and to a little lesser extent DTs) I just really worry when Hurney tries to be the smartest guy in the room on draft day. That's how we end up trading a future 1st for Everett Brown or the future #33 overall pick for Armanti Edwards or taking a small school OL in the 2nd in Amini Silatolu.

Dude reminds me of a taller Bob Sanders, could easily be our second round pick, I have my doubts about a small school tweener in the first though.

Especially one drafted by Hurney. These are some of his classic whiffs.

Or trading a 3rd that could have been Terron Armstead or Keenan Allen for Joe Adams.

OMG if they draft some dude from Lenoir Rhyne in the first round I am fuging done 

[AggieLean]

Hurney visited dude himself, smh. You can bet Hurney is chomping at the bit to use our early 2nd on this guy. 
 

He could be a stud, but I honestly would rather Hurney not even go down this road.

Finding that hidden gem is like a drug to Hurney, he cant help himself. If Tepper is convinced he's a great evaluator of talent, make him a consultant.  However, give the keys to somebody else ... please.

Takes me back to the visits to Boone to visit Armanti.

The kid from LR is a player.  He stood out a the SR Bowl.  A third rounder? 

doesn't matter, hurney will draft him in the 2nd. LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO THIS YEAR'S "PROJECT"

[45catfan]

I really think this kid will be a baller, but the 2nd round will be too steep for us considering how many holes we have on this roster.  If he's there in the 3rd (which I doubt) I'm cool taking him then.

Ol Hurndog smells himself a “gem”! Say goodbye to next years 1st.... trade away, trade away!! We will be making deals to not let this one get away!!

Hey now, we drafted Rashaan Gaulden, right?

 

 

 

(yeah) 

Wasn't he drafted to play the big nickle/buffalo nickle?  If I remember correctly, they didn't try him exclusively at safety until nothing panned out in FA, then tried to split his duties and found out he was horrible at both.

  You misunderstood. That was a discussion about Gaulden’s value. 
 

Most agreed a Buffalo Nickel was too steep for his “talents”

I was going on the notion that Ron was infamous for passing up safeties in the draft and that Gaulden wasn't drafted to be a pure safety.  

Since Ron is gone, there may be a chance a safety is drafted this year...possibly?  Heck, I've only been barking up that tree for years now.   Good thing I didn't hold my breath or I wouldn't be typing this post!

Grant Delpit round 2. Not a great tackler but an insane coverage guy
