Myles Murphy is coming...

those immediate impact 1st rounders. He was always going to be a project pretty much, any positives from him as a rookie are gravy 
honestly. Happy we have seen some very good things from DJ Turner, Jordan Battle, Charlie Jones and Iosivas.

That is pretty good honestly in a single Draft.

How much better may it have been if Laporta or Mayer was taken instead of Murphy?

While Mayer wasn't getting much at all the first month, he's averaging 42 yards per game these past three. And that's with Adams, Meyers, Jacobs, Hooper, and Renfrow taking targets too.
LaPorta is a stud who is already at 377 yards with DET. On pace for a Top 5 TE campaign and around 900 yards.

I like Murphy as a long-term prospect but I wouldn't have gone with an unpolished DL over someone who I thought could have become an immediate quality contributor since the team now will have to worry about the cap with a veteran QB contract on the books and about to have two of its top 3 pass catchers about to hit FA.
