Reasoning is Playmakers needed. Murphy is one, has been one. All your BS about Murphy.....questions recovery speed, but he’s a “long strider”? You comment about he not running a cone or shuttle, yet Williams didn’t either. He also quit his position drills after one attempt, when he obviously looked terrible.
Funny Joe Haden didn’t have an exemplary 40 either.....yet here he is, a CB1.
The thread itself is idiotic. “Dream draft” but no trades and be realistic. Please.
They will try to move up in the first regardless and draft one of the Devins. If not successful there they will trade up for Burns as the next OLB. If not there I think they will go with Murphy over Baker. If no ILB in the first they will move up and grab Mack in the second. CB and WR are deep this year. I wouldn’t be surprised if they double dip OLB and WR too.

Haden was slightly taller, had longer arms and a was a press man coverage guy in the SEC. I'm thinking his body of work and games played was MUCH better. Haden had 40 games of tape in the SEC. How many game did Murphy play? Half that amount! And who did he play against?
Here's your boy:
[FONT="]Weaknesses[/FONT]
- Lacks height, weight, speed numbers associated with outside corners
- Has played in just 20 career games
- Below-average footwork to adjust to receiver's release
- Grabs and hitches to receiver to help match the pattern
- Comes in hot and can overrun the tackle
- Quicker than fast with questionable long speed
- Bumpy backpedal and lacks fluidity in his transition
- Can be stacked by big targets
- Doesn't appear to be an explosive leaper
- Average recovery burst when beaten from press
