Byron Murphy II
Overview
Muscular ball of explosiveness with the tools and talent to become a productive three-down defender in the right scheme. Twitchy first-step quickness combined with flexion and power in his lower half create a recipe for disruption as a gap shooter or as a pass rusher. Murphy is powerful and well-schooled at taking on double-teams but lacks ideal mass and length for that role long-term. He’s successful at bypassing protection with sudden hands and quick feet, while his motor and passion create an activity level coaches will love. Forget the average physical traits and modest production and focus on his competitive spirit and disruptive qualities. Murphy is ascending and could become a successful nose tackle or 3-technique in an even front.

Uses twitchy, controlled bursts to light up gaps and disrupt play development.
Elite combination of strength, balance and flexible power in his lower half.
Quick-strike hands help to maneuver around blocks and chase play development.
Pass rush driven by relentless energy and exemplary edge-to-edge quickness.
Variety of rush approaches are peppered with fluid transitions and counters.
Weaknesses

Lack of arm length forces him to work harder to separate.
Could be worn down by NFL double-teams and size.
Ring the bells that still can ring

There is a crack, a crack in everything

He was probably #7 on Seattle’s board, and they got him at 16.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
Josh Jacobs will run over Turner, but the kid is going to eventually be a good pass rusher.

Pack doesn’t need to move to get either a great DB or OT.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Kinda looking like a good CB will be available now... didn't think that would be the case the last few months.
But given the talent left I really hope to stay put
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
One of the 2 CBs seems like a steelers pick
