Im still in the trade back camp but unless somehow Booker drops to #17 (highly unlikely) and since safety area in draft is not good and we would be reaching i think at #17  if one of the top ends is out there with the unknown of Trey and lack of depth we have, end or hybrid Edge/Lb seems to be the best pick if we stay at 17.

I understand what you're saying. Stewart is a better athlete than Murphy, for sure. But they are in the same category of prospect, as they both had bad production and good athleticism in college. I don't think anyone is putting him in the Myles Garrett style. Garrett was a complete prospect. Stewart is a project in every sense of the word.

I like the idea of drafting DL in the first, but only if they're the BPA. You mention Booker. I think he'll likely be available at 17, but I'm not sure we should draft him either. He had a really bad day at the combine.
