Jeff Duncan actually has a story with a lot of behind the scenes stuff from the 2017 draft, including the discussion of Mahomes between Mickey Loomis, Jeff Ireland and Sean Payton.

This team is close... I honestly think Hurney did a great job at getting defensive talent (defense builds championships mentality).. Now we need offensive FINISHERS! This team has playmakers on offense, without a doubt. I think Hurney just represents the "full circle" clean by Tepper... I get it. He just has to deliver, obviously.

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

I've talked up Ireland before (it's pretty easy to be jealous of the drafts he's put together in New Orleans) but my feelings are kind of divorced from this process now.

At this point, I'm just happy we're getting somebody other than Marty.

Me either really... I think Hurney has set the defensive side of the ball up pretty damn well for the future.

I wouldn't go so far as to say HE set it up for the long haul.  It appears they managed to get a couple of guys with potential but it's too early to say if they will ever reach it.  They still are quite a few more players to add on that side of the ball and there's this thing called depth that seems to elude the former brain trusts consideration or most likely his ability.

Drafts are only a portion of the GM position, and everyone's concerns are valid to an extent. However, I also believe folks can learn from their F-ups on a previous job as well (just not Hurney, obviously). 

 

What I'm curious to see is how this guy's FA contracts have looked over the years in both Miami, and to a lesser degree I'm sure with Loomis there, New Orleans? (entirely possible he has had zero impact or input on those for the Saints, but I'm not too well-versed on this guy)

You'd have to go back to Miami for that. Terry Fontenot handles the pro scouting side in New Orleans.

Providing he has learned from his mistakes and puts what he has learned in N.O. I would be ok with him.

I think one of the key factors will be his ability to work with Rhule.  If they butt heads I think it will be a bad decision.  Sadly you'll never know until you make the deal.
