Anything to help that from not happening anymore I'm down with.

We got zero edge rush from anyone outside of Trey last year. It filled a need with a first round graded player. Good pick.

TE class is deep this year, and we just signed a veteran FA.  Burrow will make do with whoever they give him there.  Shore up the trenches.

Sam Hubbard has played over 80% of the snaps each of the last two years.

No one knows how these guys will turn out. As of now, it was a good roll of the dice.

If we took Porter, Maher, etc...we probably still get an A.

Thought the Bengals would go a different direction,TE, CB, OT, RB, yet am fine with this pick and willing to watch how the draft unfolds before judging. This pick could be the start of a great draft

I think that Myles Murphy will be as good or better than Rashan Gary of the Packers. I think he will be a Better pass rusher than Gary because of his speed. Rashan Gary was a 12th overall pick in round 1, so Murphy to me is a Great value at pick #28.
Either Sam Hubbard or Trey Hendrickson may be DUE for an injury, so having Myles Murphy gives better quality Depth and they can Rotate in Fresh against Mahommes & other QBs when all are Healthy.

Myles Murphy      6 foot 5    258 pounds   4.51-second 40 time

Rashan Gary   6 foot 4 and 3/8    277 pounds  4.58-second 40 time

That guy leaves it all on the field every single snap he takes. Hubbard and Hendrickson both showed fatigue down the stretch and it was not about their conditioning level rather the effort they give every single snap while playing deep into the playoffs. Nice try put poor points.

I have never seen Hendrickson not going 100% on any play he is on the field for. You might, on a good day, get 100% effort out of Dunlap on 60% of the plays he was in for. If it were 3rd and long, Dunlap was coming. Other than that, he would often just stand up and go through the motions.

Detroit got hammered in their rating for moving up to take Gibbs.

The Bengals assessment of an A had a lot of caveats:

"Analysis: Murphy was not a dominant player at Clemson but showed the ability to win the edge at times and has the strength to hold his part of the bargain on run defense. The Bengals could have used a cornerback, but perhaps they did not have any first-round-caliber players at the position left on their board. Tight end Michael Mayer would have also been a worthy selection."

It's close, but I'll take Dunlap in his prime over Trey just because he is more well rounded. Trey is lacking in the run defense and batted balls department

I will take the dude that gets to the QB in the biggest moments and is selfless and a good teammate. That is Trey Hendrickson.
