I pray he falls to the second round..
Too bad he will be a top12 pick. He'd be a nice selection top of the second.

No way he goes top 12. Top 28 maybe.
My best guess is he will be asked to work out at DE at the Combine.
He's too light for DE and heavy for OLB.
Stay away from tweeners.

Unless of course you play a hybrid defense.
Too light? he is over 260 pounds. which is big enough as is.... but just wait until he gets some professional grade "strength enhancers" and he'll be 270 easy.
we've been burned by tweeners before but they were all 6'2 240 ish. This kid is 6'6 260+ thats almost ideal.
Currently, most of the services have Murphy as a late round 1 guy. If he slips to round 2, he would be a nice choice there. He is not too small to play DE.
I'd like him or the LDE role but not the LEO spot.
If he falls to our pick in the second, it's a no brainer. I doubt it, he is there so I will take a guard/center instead. The young man would be an upgrade to Branch ten fold.

I doubt he'd ever bulk up enough to play our LDE spot, he fits much better as a LEO
He's not a LEO though. Slow and can't bend the edge. It'd be like drafting a slower, harder-working version of Branch.
