I would be happy with Murphy in the first. But I wouldn't give anything up to ensure we get him.
In my opinion, if you are willing to take Murphy at 18, you should be willing to take Newton at 18, as they are both incredibly impactful players at DT. I could see either one of them being a multi-year pro bowl/all pro with elite pass rush ability. The biggest difference is Murphy loses a little pass rush to gain a little run stopping.
And if neither is there, then it's very likely one of Mitchell, Arnold, Fuaga, Mims, or Fashanu is there at 18, and you just take them.
There are more than 18 players in this draft that would dramatically improve our team at CB, WR, DT or OT. I see no reason why we'd give up a premium pick that we need to ensure the health and depth of our roster to go chasing one in particular.
