Yes, he did not shine against lesser competition, but did not play in game 2 due to illness. The guys he played against are still better than college players and are men versus young men.
I wish him great success.
Absolutely. But he was still a first-round pick and thus will have that albatross around his neck if he doesn't pan out, particularly if some board favorites, such as TEs Sam LaPorta and Michael Mayer, turn out to be good. I think we all hope Murphy will turn out to be a great pick. Paul Dehner's comments (posted above) were a bit concerning.
