CBS says he was biggest steal and best pick.Myles Murphy was an important pick as our pass rush suffered depth wise when Trey Hendrickson went down. Plus he’s very versatile and I just posted that According to Arif Hasan's NFL Draft Industry Consensus Big Board Murphy was the consensus steal of the draft. DJ Turner had the 4th fastest 40 since 2003 at the combine. He adds depth, and Doug Fararr of Touchdown wire called him an A+ pick and immediate starter. At the worst his speed will be invaluable on special teams and the one of the best backup corners in the league. Jordan Battle was all about depth and value. He really helps depth and is all world locker room guy. Coming from Bama he’s groomed and Daniel Jeremiah predicts he’s a game 1 starter. Then we’ve got a battle and again at the worst the best backup safety in the league.
After that the picks were a punter with great hang time and extremely consistent. A tall fantastic athlete in WR Losivas. Chase Brown a RB was #33 on Bruce Feldman’s Freaks List. He was a great value.
What makes this draft excellent is it really added depth and I mean legit depth. It added speed. Everybody worried about starters. 20 games requires solid depth. Some teams have a great starting 22 but if there’s a huge drop off good luck in January.
Why do I keep seeing people say that Jones is a replacement for Boyd? This absolutely nothing but speculation and really is not an outstanding fit. Jones played the majority of his snaps on the outside at Purdue and has really go return capabilities. If he is a replacement for anyone on this roster it would be for Trent Taylor. It seems like everyone has Boyd out the door already when it may not at all be the case.
