Early Myles Murphy Panic
#29
(08-16-2023, 12:52 PM)Crazyjdawg Wrote: I just checked my Draft chat I have with a few of my friends, and my exact comment when we drafted Murphy was, "Eh....I don't really like that pick, but pass rushers are a premium draft position I guess...." followed by "I am concerned that his pass rush win rate was so low and that he never seemed to be dominant in college, despite having all the talent in the world. It's not a one to one from college to the NFL, but production in college helps when projecting a prospect's chances of success in the NFL."

My opinion has not changed.

There were multiple players I would have preferred we take, including some pass rushers that I felt would add more to this team, but the Bengals have a type when it comes to DEs. Expecting them to take Derick Hall or Nolan Smith may have always been unrealistic.

This was the first 1st round pick under Zac Taylor that had me scratching my head because it felt like they were just picking the falling prospect (who, for all we know, fell for a good reason), and I don't love that.

I wouldn't say I'm "panicked" because I kind of figured he wouldn't be very productive in his rookie year (and, if I'm completely honest, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he just outright busts), but hope springs eternal. We have some good pass rushers on this team, so if he doesn't work out, his snaps will be taken by competent players.

It is what it is. Luckily, we got what seems to be a steal in the 2nd round with DJ Turner.

My thoughts pretty much exactly
