would of looked as good here but he would of been more impactful for us then Murphy pretty damn sure this year. I also like
Murphy as a long term prospect though, we just have to hope he becomes that great DL for us in the future.

He is a great athlete with good strength. If he can gain some moves and play in the A-B gaps at times in passing situations,
Murphy could start looking good this season, sure hope so as he would be ahead of schedule. Next year was when I really 
expected to see him flash, if he does this year, even better.

While I do think Murphy has a great ceiling, I think we could see an early production trajectory to be like Derek Barnett.
Barnett had 21.5 sacks during his rookie contract, which is just meh given his 1st round draft status and being across 5 years.
No season more than 6.5 sacks.

If Murphy ends up only having around that many sacks (or even less) by the time his rookie contract is up, I think there will be a lot of regrets they didn't get someone who could get much more production out of on the cheap rookie deal.
