If they drafted for need which they should have done, they would have taken the tight end that Detroit took a few picks later.

Not saying Murphy won't be a bust. Just saying it is too early to tell. Cam Hayward was drafted at just about the same spot as Murphy (31st) and he only had one sack an 11 tackles his rookie season.
I ca post dozens of other examples of very good NFL players who did nothing their rookie season.

Why single out Myles Murphy? Other than Cam Taylor-Britt and Germaine Pratt the entire Cincinnati defense looked like they were playing in slow motion yesterday.

Once again….
I think ppl thought it was a joke when the coaches said he was a project and wouldn’t help much this year This has not changed

Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

He dropped several spots because he was never a good pass rusher in college. Why would a team spend a 1st round draft pick on a DE who wasnt that great getting pressure at the collegiate level? That's why no team picked him. Murphy was not going to suddenly be this great pass rushing DE in the NFL going up against NFL linemen when he wasnt great playing against college talent.

I don't think the difference between the 21st and 29th picks go from starters to project players.

People at like being a late first rookie means we can’t expect much. His stats are meh for a third rounder.
Like a teenage girl driving a Ferrari.

People wondered why Murphy fell in the 1st round.
It's (likely) because he wasn't ready to be an immediate contributor. Bengals felt they had a good enough roster that they could afford taking a guy with great potential but needed some time to refine. Was it a decision I would have made? No Does that mean Murphy is a bust because he hasn't already played great in just 9 games of his career? Also no
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive. Sorry for Party Rocking!

You can't just call Burrow and Chase "slam dunk, can't miss guys" when other teams have drafted "slam dunk can't miss guys" and they have missed. The Bengals are probably well above average when it comes to hit rate. Dax, Chase, Burrow. Jonah, WJ3, Dennard, Eifert, Zeitler, Kirkpatrick, AJ and Gresham were hits Price, Ross and Ogbeuhi were complete misses. That's a pretty good hit rate. |
