MikeT14 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Just now, MKnight82 said: I think the more interesting question is do you want the best WR in football for 9 years, the best LT in football for 11 years, or the top HB in football for probably a 10 year period (plus still going). I would probably still take Johnson but I think Joe Thomas is debatable. Very fair. It's so easy to forget that 2019 offseason into 2020 with the unknown of LT was very weird for us. The long staple of having LT shored up between Williams and Samuels for so long was a blessing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn’t the name I chose in the first place. Mine was just “GM Candidates”. Admin must’ve adjusted it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also don't forget they passed on Joe Thomas and Adrian Peterson to take Calvin Johnson. Johnson was the best player in the class and I know you could say Thomas but Calvin was a seriously special player coming out. Johnson is still one of the highest rated players I’ve ever graded and it wasn’t just because I was young but that’s who I would have taken if I was Oakland that year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dumb do the Raiders look today bc they didn’t take Thomas or Megatron, the Bucs w/ Brice Allen & Jon Gruden who took Gaines Adam’s over Peterson and the Cardinals who took Levi Brown over Adrian Peterson?

Maybe Hurney will just be a consultant like the role that AJ Smith had for a few years in DC under Bruce Allen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 This reminds me of the Fassell hire. They leaked it and it got pummeled by everyone so they went in a different direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Hurney will just be that for Rivera. Edited January 22, 2021 by turtle28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurney was being reported as the GM. It was reported by multiple sources that a deal was being finalized. I don’t even think Hurney is in the organization yet so I wonder if all the negativity pushed them in a different direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its possible the 49ers tried to block a lateral move and Washington had to give Mayhew a promotion in order to hire him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think local media assumed Hurney would be the GM bc he was just the GM in Carolina and he and Rivera were close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
