On the contrary, NFL games are decided by the head coaches walking up to a folding table at the 50-yard line and comparing how many draft picks they have next year. Higher count wins the game.
This draft was more like 2023, or 2014-2015: a couple of blue-chippers at the top and then a whole bunch of ST churn that won't be here after a year. Hope I'm wrong.
Yes, yes, the offensive line is the axis upon which the world rotates. No need for defenders.
Besides, we got probably the second-best guard in the whole draft.
You don't speak for everyone.
Sad that nobody has addressed the actual post. I agreed that Murphy has the look of top-tier defensive tackles and the toolbox. No way this pick is going to go bad, barring some four-wheeler situation.
There was a huge cliff at a lot of positions after about #20. John would have been trading down into a desert. And there's no way Murphy would have lasted past #19.
Wow, Prisco has gone downhill. I guess the stress of knowing you suck week in and week out and only keep your job because you have incriminating picks of your editor will age you quickly.
Those guys are gonna do great, but we've got a lot more youth and production at edge. Three aging guys, Dre, and Cam Young weren't going to cut it in the interior (and I really like Leonard Williams).
