What would Hurney have done?

[therealmjl]

I feel like he would have traded up to the 8-12 range to take one of the DTs, be it Richardson, Floyd, or Star.

[L-TownCat]

He would have listened to the media and drafted Sheldon Richardson.

Probably taken a defensive end

Honestly, who cares.

Honestly, who cares.

Honestly who cares about anything we talk about? Just trying to kill time till pick 44. You didn't have to join the discussion.

Hurney was usually solid with first rounders

2002 Peppers- Probowler

2003 Gross- Probowler

2004 Gamble

2005 Davis

2006 D. Williams

2007 Beason - Probowler

2008 Otah and Stewart

2011 Newton- ROY

2012 Keuchly- DROY

If you go back and look, the demise of Hurney was likely the two years where we did not have a first round pick in 2009 and 2010 and the majority of those drafts were a complete disaster with Munnerlyn and Hardy being the notable highlights.

Two straight years without a first rounder, the records surely reflect.

yea Hurney doesn't screw that pick up.....the next round however, is a different story

[Doc Holiday]

Hurney would have drafted Star as well, Hurney is a long time proven first round drafter, it's the other 6 rounds you have to be concerned about

[charlottenian]

his rounds 2-7 were sketchy.... some notable later round selections were

2002- Foster, Witherspoon

2003- Ricky Manning

2004- Wharton

2005- Hangartner

2006- Marshall, Anderson

2007- Kalil, Johnson

2008- Godfrey

2010- LaFell, Hardy

There were obvious disasters like

2003- Bruce Nelson

2004- Colbert

2005- Shelton, Evan Mathis

2007- Jarrett

2009- Brown

2010- Clausen

2011- McClain and Fua

For the most part I think he did a reasonable job with the draft, its when we traded up to get guys that set this franchise back along with poor cap management at the end.
