This article gives a concise breakdown of Mayhew's draft picks as GM with the Lions. id say mixed results, maybe a C grade.

Cam Sims is an exclusive rights FA meaning we offer a league min 1 yr contract and he has to accept.

The draft is a crapshoot every year.. If you can hit on 2 guys per draft I'd say it's a good effort

Depends what you mean by hit on. I think you need to cone away with 3-4 players that wind up being contributors and make your team better than it was to be a successful draft. Always nice if one or two turn out to be homeruns.

Per Rapoport:

Sources: The Washington Football Team is finalizing a deal with Marty Hurney to be its new GM. The Team should announce the move later today.

Low expecations.

Last year I'd say we hit on


*Chase Young
*Antonio Gibson
*Kamren Curl

And the verdict is not in on Charles or Gandy-Golden yet. If Charles gets healthy and AGG gets a normal preseason to learn, they could both be solid picks too.

[Number44]

If we hire Mayhew as GM, I believe that the 49ers will receive 3 draft picks. Not certain on the round, but I think they are third rounders.

I'm a little surprised by the Stafford love here. No chance I give up a first for him. I'd offer a 4th, knowing that that probably doesn't get it done.

That's as far as I'd go.

He's a great QB on a bad team. He's only 32...we could get a solid 4 more years, or more.

If he were on say, the Packers or Patriots instead of the Lions, he'd be considered one of the top QBs in the league.

4,000 yards every year, a 2:1 career TD:INT ratio...ON THE LIONS.

He's one of 8 QBs in NFL history to throw for 5,000 in a season....again, ON THE LIONS.

He'll finish Top 10 easily in all-time passing yards, could make it up to 5th if he plays 5 more years, currently occupied by Phillip Rivers.

Former #Panthers GM Marty Hurney is meeting with members of the Washington Football Team brass today including coach Ron Rivera, sources say. Hurney is the top candidate to be their new GM, a hire that could be official this week.

Rivera loves "his" guys. I'll put my trust in him and roll with it. Not like there is another choice.

He got fired twice for a reason Ron.

Just about every HC, coordinator and GM has been fired at one time or another. Not to say he's the man, but getting fired in and of itself isn't much of an indicator of future success.

Hurney had harassment and domestic violence charges in his past that were later dropped. Sounds like an A+ turd to me. I think there are probably much higher quality, younger, more cutting edge GM candidates out there than him.

It’s one thing to bring in people you’re familiar with. It’s another to bring in EVERYONE from your previous employer and not diversify with people who will bring different perspectives. With each additional former Panther’s hire, I get a little more frustrated.
