Greg Little healthy scratch

[WarHeel]

That’s what you love to see from a reach in the 2nd round. 

[Captain Morgan]

Marty's penchant for taking players that are falling in the draft.  Every other teams sees this and says "yep, we were right about him."  Marty sees this and says "we lucky!  He's still there!  let's trade up and get him!"

It’s clear that our 2 & 3 round picks by Marty have been for the most part awful

Marty's 4th-5th since he's been back

 

Ian Thomas

Christian Miller

Jordan Scarlett (cut after 1 season)

Troy Pride

Kenny Robinson (didnt even make the final 53)

I remember listening to his post draft interviews and thinking picking him was a mistake. He talked about the coaches thinking he can learn to be tough and aggressive...or something like that. It didn’t really give me confidence that he’d be able to cut it in the NFL.

They gave him every opportunity to show if he can play. I wouldn't assume he will be inactive the rest of the season but he might just be a backup the rest of his time here.

Big ole bust!

Just stating some facts. The guy hasn't panned out for sure.

That’s part of evaluating a player’s mental strength. Injuries happen, players bounce back. Can’t draft soft players. Little didn’t look good even healthy. 

Honestly, we have to question not just Marty Hurney, but our whole scouting department. There's a lot of input that goes into making those picks and there was a serious call to get Cam some protection.

Marty has what, 1 really good 2nd round selection in his career?

I'm sure I'm missing one or two, but Kalil is the only one that comes to mind.

[Mr. Scot]

Someone on Twitter (4 Man Rush, I think) pointed out that all our second day draft selections from last year were inactive yesterday.

Jenkins (his involvement here up for debate)

Spoon, Foster

Richard Marshall had moments

Sherrod Martin (he was in the league for six years)

Gross Matos is looking like a player, obviously Chinn is a probably DROTY

Keep in mind there's a lot of years the Panthers didn't have 2nd round picks in there due to the Jeff Otah fallout.

That's what I dont get. How can you look at our oline then and think we were ok? DW and Paradis coming off injuries. 3 picks on day 2 in a rich IOL draft, a place where we had serious need. And we move up to take a draft a raw project player who's going to have to start week 1 because we have nothing else and a backup QB. That plan was doomed from the start.

I think the bigger problem wasn't scouting, it was our medical evaluation of Paradis and DW. We based our draft on those 2 being pre injury healthy and it was clear that they were not even close. Elway knew Paradis was damaged goods. DW was damaged. 

If we wanted to protect Cam, 3 interior linemen would have been one hell of a start. That is was of the worst off seasons I can remember. Right up there with Gman's desperation CB draft offseason.
