Pick #16 - DT Byron Murphy

[OLYhawks]

Reach. Poor man's Aaron Donald.

Tons of better prospects on the board. Short arms.

Not surprising to see Schneider get cute and completely blow it. Unnacceptable.

Poor man's Aaron D!? SWEET! Love the comparison.

Not a troll. Been on this board for 14 years now

Perhaps, but you can still troll. The question was whether you intended to troll with that post. If you say it wasn't an attempted troll job, I'll believe you, but yours is a decidedly minority opinion.

I don't think Murphy's a nose. Sweat was the nose at TX.

I think he'll be in the rotation with Williams and Jones.

Id be happy to get Sweat later if he falls into the third.

 

[Crizilla]

Love it.

The ”we didn’t have the guts to pick Carter” pick. But we will see. Surprised they didn’t take Turner or Verse.

Nothing against Murphy. I hope he kills it!

Poor man's Aaron D!? SWEET! Love the comparison.

Cons: not quite as good as literally the best DT in NFL history.

Seattle needed help on the DLine, now they have it...

...and people are complaining.

CLASSIC.

 

[AROS]

If he’s as strong and talented as I’m hearing then he’ll clog up the middle, stop the inside run game and give guys like Mafe and Nwosu more shots at the QB

And be a major piece to help Riq and Spoon eat.

Let the complainers be dumb, they don't know football

You mean the one guy?

Mac put on the tape and he saw keystone cops out there when the Hawks tried to stop the run and rush the passer from the inside. No offense intended to D. Jones but he did not live up to his contract that he signed. But I think Mac can rejuvenate D. Jones' career.

Um, you're missing the point. He's being compared to, as you say, the best DT in NFL history. He hasn't even stepped onto an NFL field yet. That isn't a con, ever.

 

[RockinHawks]

Wrecking ball. Dude has violent hands and good moves. Nothing to hate with this pick. I would have loved Fautanu...but Murphy is a fantastic pick. DL talent drops off significantly after round 2. Great work John and Co.

I'm outside of dotnet too, my bad.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

LFG!!!! If you don't like this pick, seek therapy. Because you'll never be happy.

It was an attempt at a serious post. I knew it would go against the grain. I'm just not a big fan of the selection. But I'm a nobody and admittedly not very intelligent, so take that as you will.

 

[Hawknight]

I just hope Fautanu doesn't land with the Rams or Niners.

Landed with steelers

 

[GemCity]

Troy Fautanu or Dallas Turner. Much much better prospects.

They could've gotten Murphy after 20. Complete waste. Disappointing.

Rooting for him, but this is yet another concerning pick by Schneider

I think Murphy is going to do well but, I also thought we would’ve snatched up Turner.

I get what you’re saying..,

Need to protect their new quarterback.
