What would be more impactful for our team? An All World RT like Lane Johnson? Or an All World DT like Aaron Donald? If both turn out to be 100% home run picks who live up to their expectations…

Then give me the guy who has the best chance to be Aaron Donald. Potential defensive player of the year.

Or better yet.

Would you rather?

Willie Anderson or Geno Atkins?

Murphy is nowhere close to Donald.  Donald was and still is in a class of his own, athletically.

Geno is a better comparison (although he's a better athlete than Murphy, as well).  If we're talking Geno vs Willie,if Andy Dalton is my QB, I'm taking Geno.  If Joe Burrow is my QB, I'm taking Big Willie all day, every day.  

Keep in mind(and I love Geno and think he's a HoF'er), that Atkins averaged less than 7 sacks a season for his career and only had three seasons with double digit sacks.  DT's don't put up the pass rush numbers you think they would because the good ones face constant double teams.
