[Mike Petraglia] Zac Taylor says Myles Murphy was “our No. 1 guy” even with all the movement before 28. Lou Anarumo says Murphy will get reps right away on Bengals DL. “He’ll jump right in there”

1. Hell yeah

2. I don’t know about this pick. I would have thought Nolan Smith would be a better fit. Murphy tho? We will have to wait and see if he was the right pick

3. inject this coach confidence into my veins

4. He’s going to be a stud. We need someone who can get after the QB. I can’t tell you how many times last year the opposing QB had unlimited time and we relied on our secondary. It’s the perfect pick.

5. Still a stupid pick

6. This pick was kind of refreshing. We don’t know how Dax will work out, and we’ve done well with CTB and Volson (and obviously our high picks before then), but from some of the rumors and mocks I was afraid we were going to make some surprising reach like the Lions with Gibbs or trading up for a player that would’ve been at 28 anyway.

   I still wouldn’t mind if we did some kind of aggressive trade up or crafty trade down tomorrow, but this was a solid pick for a position of need and it makes me think we’re not gonna get too cute with things.

   Hope Lou can bring out this guy’s potential. A lot of mock drafts from a year ago had him going in the 7-15 range.

7. It’s crazy after these past couple years so many people are still questioning the front office over a reasonable smart pick just because it wasn’t as sexy.

8. Great pick

9. If Lou likes him then so do I

10. Really wanted Mayer ngl, but I can live with this
