How the draft looks if we trade down

Murphy was BEAST against the run. Giving up on him after ONE SEASON is very Redskins-fan of us. He was great holding the edge. I don't remember Orakpo dominating his first year except against that Raiders 5th string tackle. Same with Kerrigan.

Orakpo had 11 sacks his first year (7 without those four from Oakland). Kerrigan had 7.5 sacks.

I'm glad Murphy is good against the run, but he was brought here to be a pass rusher, and he doesn't seem to rush the passer very well.

He was brought in as a situational pass rusher who didn't start all 16 games like Kerrigan and Rak did their rookie seasons

Yes he is superb against the run, he can be coached up to rush the passer and adding a good D lineman or 2 that can collapse the pocket from within will only help.
