Marty Hurney hunting a deep draft class

Not surprisingly, the first round of the NFL Draft was Marty Hurney's most productive during his first stint as Panthers general manager.

Now back in the role, Hurney wants to maintain his winning ways with early-round picks while improving his winning percentage in subsequent rounds.

Hurney, who is checking out the draft class this week at the NFC Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, believes he learned lessons from his previous 11 drafts and the five drafts that have transpired since his departure that will help his cause when the 2018 NFL Draft kicks off April 26.

"We've talked a lot about when you get to the second round," Hurney said before leaving for Indy.
