I don't hate Murphy. Seems like a good player with a good motor. Just not sure I saw the position itself as something we should be focusing on. With Orakpo and Kerrigan starting and Rob Jackson and Brandon Jenkins as backups, I'm fairly happy with our talent at OLB. To me, this screams that Orakpo is done in DC.

My guess is the coaching staff see the special teamers we picked up as backups, and potentially future starters at the ILB role. As someone else said. When we passed on Moses I was concerned. When he fell, I was far less concerned. Had we swapped those two picks I would have had less of a gripe, but still feel we could have probably made a better choice.

Note: Please don't read my sig because it contradicts my above point...

There is no doubt Orakpo is playing his last year as a Redskin, and Kerrigan's contract expires in 2 seasons. Jackson is a back-up, and Jenkins is a project at best.

Murphy can save the Redskins over $10 million dollars next season

That is an utterly ridiculous statement.

not really, if Orakpo has a good season he will want $75+ million for 5 years... if not he will still expect $10 million per year.

They have more important places to spend their money.

I think the depth is there at ILB for at the very worst, a platoon type approach if needed. Sharpton, Jordan, Compton, Hayward, etc.
