Shemar Stewart has like no production, less than Murphy had at Clemson. We have 4 DT's on the roster and pass rushing 3-techs are harder to
find than run stopping NT's. The one pass rushing 3-tech that should be there at 17 is Nolen and HE has character issues.

Think of it this way, would you rather grab the stud Safety that could end up being an All Pro or another Burton with off field problems or Myles
Murphy who had little to no production in college and looks like Tarzan plays like Jane? There are other pass rushing Ends and 3-techs after the 
first round that do not have character concerns and had high production in college.

If they're re-signing Hendrickson and they paid Ossai, where's the dire need to go DE in the 1st? They're not going to cut Murphy this year, no matter how good or bad he looks. With that in mind, there have been good DEs on the board in the 3rd round in most every sim I've ran. Maybe not the 1 or 2 instant "plug and play guys, but they are typically boom or bust anyway.
