Anyone who wanted anyone besides Murphy...well...

I loved the pick, I don't like the results on the field. He is not even an upgrade on others who manned that position as of yet. There is still time, he is still in the preseason in a sense of time played.

The line opponents OL is constantly getting collapsed. That is some great results on the field

Spoon in his rookie season took away all the sting of not taking Carter

Carter was benched by the Eagles last week. All the hand wringing over passing on him is silly.

Fans tend to overvalue sacks and undervalue stats like QB hurries and hits.

Note how impressive PFF ratings have been with Murphy... https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nf...ar&cvid=59c587845ca9418ca86517900062f34b&ei=6

PFF ratings are odd enough to where they can be safely dismissed when the eye test is passed.

Jamal Adams was a perfect example of how a stat can be very misleading. Sure most sacks of any safety, but if you're always blitzing for a sack, how much actual coverage are you giving up to boost those numbers. Didn't Jameis Winston one year have the most TDs of any QB, but was also throwing the most Interceptions as well. A QB could have the highest completion percentage, but also take the most sacks and have no passes thrown past 10 yards.

You are absolutely correct, it really means NOTHING at this point. I made a point earlier how he has been average to better as of yet. I expect to see teams having to scheme to block him on running plays. I expect him to be the second best DT Seattle has ever had, behind Cortez. THIS IS MY DREAM, I love the pick. I am impatient as heck though.

They have Kenny McIntosh graded ahead of KW and Zach? I'd love to see more of Kenny, but I don't know what planet they're watching these games from if they A. think Kenny is getting "significant playing time," and B. grade him ahead of KW and Zach, at least at this point.

There's no good answer for consistent interior pressure. It is the most valuable defensive commodity in the entire league.

He was the right pick. All day long. I'm shocked he made it to 16 - there was a lot of talk about Chicago taking him at 9. As much as I like Odunze, I would've taken him there if I were them.

Murphy was a slam dunk pick. It was all over his college tape. His knack for leverage and penetration is innate.

That’s why Chicago is dysfunctional

Loved the pick when they made it, love it even more now.
