***2023 NFL Draft Thread***

Big Murphy fan! Did not think he’d be available. Our pass rush will be much improved

[treee]

Having a deep DL is a key to success in the NFL.

[THE PISTONS]

Seems like a freak athlete that doesn't put it together on the field. Played on a stacked team too. Hard to really evaluate those guys.

[Gdale_Bengal]

Pretty sure they picked him because of how they lost the championship. Kind of underwhelmed with it but OK.

Sounds like the boys on WLW did their homework. Said the team was not happy with the pass rush last year and wouldn't be surprised if they took edge or 3T early.

A back-up DE. Not a fan of this pick.

Do you remember how awful our pass rush was last year with Hendrickson not on the field?

I dig on Murphy. Fantastic traits. Moderate production. More in the Hubbard mold than Hendrickson. He just fits how Lou wants to play D. Good run defender, collapse the pocket.

Need to save money at DE so they can pay O skill players.  Trey H. will be gone after next season.

[Frank Booth]

that just shows me they didnt want porter jr. Prob because of his dad

[*pally*]

They must have had him a lot higher on the draft board

Zac Taylor on getting Murphy at 28: "This wasn't a scenario we thought was going to play out for us, to be quite honest."

Just put him on ignore. He's literally posted nothing worth glancing at in his entire post history. All he does it complain and spam.

Don't know anything about the kid, but the dad is a shitbag. And apples and trees...

[ezekiel23]

Didn’t see that coming.WOW.Passed on Mayer???????? Passed on Mayer and Washington?

[spazz70]

Thank gawd not a TE that would see 4 looks per game...DE is a nice pick and Murphy has all the tangibles to be an absolute stud.

[KyBengalfan94]

I thought Ossai was an edge for rotation. what's his job now? this pick is just pissing me off, Id rather had a DT that would actually make some sense.

Eventually will replace Hendrickson.

Our pass rush needed work.

[Burma]

Anyone who watched Mahomes have all day to throw in that AFC championship game should understand this pick.

[Whatever]

Porter really isn't a fit.  He has terrible change of direction and is basically just a press man CB.
