Falconcheff Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 It's not that I don't like it, I just don't see A LOT of those picks happening that way...with Dupree, Gregory and Ray on the board we take the second or third best OL in the draft???

SuperAINTSfan Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 They must of saw my post with Brown going in the top ten lolDupree and Beckham would be Awesome.If Shelton and Gregory fall into the 20's, I hope Loomis trades up to get one of them.

treefiddy Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 There is ZERO chance we don't take a pass rusher.Quinn has already stated we are looking to fill that position with our first pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You all won't take Gregory, and #8 is too early to take Dupree, and Ray's got bust written all over him. But I have you all taking Scherff if Beasley's gone, and Fowler won't get past Jax.

treefiddy Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Even with the Top 3 or 4 taken?He said he was looking at speed and length most of all at pass rusher in draftas well as when asked about Gregory, he said that off field issues are case by case, and based on being able to provide support groupsI'm sure even if Beasley and Fowler are gone, we take Gregory (after all, he is no doubt a top three pass rusher in the draft)But the length and speed things leads me to believe we take Ray if he's there as well (even if some people don't like it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's there at #8 and you all DO pick him, it bodes well for the Falcons, because it means Artie's keeping his nosey assed opinions to himself, and lettin' the Football guys to make football decisions.

O-Ther Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I stopped listening to sportswriters after our last GM nosedived our team into the ground. He's good for explaining legalese since he's a lawyer, but he has no football background whatsoever beyond his contacts list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SyCo Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Panther fans keep doging Hurney..lolNo CamNo LukeNo CJNo TDNo KaliNo OlsenNo Hardy (got him in the 6th round)No NormanNo StewartMost of this team success the last 2 years was built off Hurney's players right??That's a fine point. he drafted a little too well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O-Ther Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 8 drafted keepers in 8 years is a poor record any way you spin it. Funny how our current GM is doing much better with the same scouting department personnel. The one trade that worked out for Olsen doesn't outweigh the 2009 and 2010 1st rounders he p!ssed away in poor trades. Finally, it's not our current GM that gave out horrible contracts that have complicated our cap compliance and limited our choices for upgrading the roster.

O-Ther Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Contracts get placed at his feet because it was his job. And unless you're Jerry Richardson's secretary, you can't provide proof of Jerry directing Hurney to do anything like that. It's a more likely answer that Hurney spent like a drunken sailor to save his own job since he couldn't build a roster with draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints4life25 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 The first mistake the Panthers made with Hurney was hiring a magazine publisher to be their football and numbers guy. Just wasn't smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRay Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 There's so much debate between Dupree and Gregory.....I have to believe the teams have vetted both of them closely. On paper its Gregory, but will the NFL brass feel the same? Teams mitigate risk at the top of the draft, then there's Josh in Cincinnati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperAINTSfan Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 i honestly think quinn is comfy drafting dupree at 8 if everyone else at de is off the board.Dupree is a good fit for Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperAINTSfan Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 If we pass on Gregory for Dupree, it will not be a good day.I would be ok with that. They both fit what Ryan wants at SOLB. Either will have a chance to play in a rotation and learn behind two solid vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be disappointed if Gregory is on the board and he's not the pick. I realize there's a pretty substantial chance that that is actually what happens, but I'd be disappointed none the less.

O-Ther Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 People don't get fired when they do what the boss wants. They get fired by NOT doing what the boss wants. The narrative that Richardson meddles that you're clinging to doesn't hold up when faced with the fact JR fired Hurney after Hurney spent all that $$$ that you claim JR forced him to. And if JR has so much love for Smitty, why did he let Gettleman fire him if JR is really calling the shots? Facts are crushing your case and you have nothing to refute them with.
