2010 in particular outside him hitting on Hardy was clownshoes.
To be fair to Hurney, he was also the GM for the 2012 draft which brought us Luke Da Gawd Kuechly but also some other valuable contributors. First round picks weren't Hurney's problem though, it was basically every other round. Even Jeff Otah was a worthy pick for a season until he ate his lazy ass out of the league.
2012
Luke Kuechly - DRoty, DPotY, future HoFer
Amini Silatolu - looked good last season before injury
Frank Alexander - suspended for PEDs first four games, but great depth and could be Hardy's replacement next season
Joe Adams - lol
Josh Norman - Hot head but shows flashes of greatness
Brad Nortman - looked like shit his rookie season, one of the best punters in the league now
DJ Campbell - whatever
