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.
