Pick 47 Trent Murphy

warriorzpath · 05-17-2014, 12:20 AM

Michael Sam is not a better pass rusher than Murphy. He may be faster and more explosive, but Murphy is stronger, has longer arms, and uses this and his hand technique to his advantage. Being a different kind of pash rusher will make it a bit harder for the opposing offensive linemen to handle.

There was an analyst earlier in thread who compared him to Jared Allen, who was a 4th round pick in 2004 who ran a 4.7 40. Below is a SI.com review of Allen in 2004. Who knows what Murphy will do, if he will live up the 2nd round drafting spot -- but I'm hoping he does..

Quote:

Jared Allen:
NEGATIVES: Overall game lacks explosion, a closing burst to the ball carrier and strength. At times easily ridden from the play or handled at the point.

SI.com - 2004 NFL Draft - Jared Allen

Check out this highlight at 5:10seconds. He really mauls the RT & jumps over him, hope he does this for us..

Starting to like this pick more and more, probably because of the similarities I see between him and JJ Watt. One of Watt's biggest negatives coming out was a lack of explosion coming off the line, while some of his postives were: great hand technique in getting off blocks, great hustle/relentless motor, high football IQ, and a knack for batting down passes and generally making big plays. Sound familiar? Yeah, I thought so too...

I'm not saying Trent Murphy is going to have as big of an impact as JJ Watt, but I do think he can become a very good player who impacts the game in a variety of ways.

I think that we will look back on our FO's trade-back and subsequent selections in the 2nd as nothing short of outstanding in a few years. And no, I'm not being a homer.

Edit: *selection

It's hard not to like this guy, well at least until we see if he can play.

He's signed, per the Redskins

JoeRedskin · 05-23-2014, 10:18 AM

Sweet. Is that all of them then? or is Moses still unsigned?

Love the comments on Facebook about Murphy being signed. Multiple dopes saying "he looks small". Yeah, 6-5 250 lbs is small.

I thought he was 260 and dropped 10lbs, I think he will put on another 15 lbs of muscle, but yeah clearly 6'6" 250lbs is small.

Murphy will be a........."Redskin".
love this guy

JoeRedskin · 05-23-2014, 11:31 AM

I think this was the best draft ever! Every player is bound for the HOF!

Wow. I hate the offseason.

The Offseason........
a time of wonder and astonishment....the pure joy of ignorance abounds.
Enjoy it while you can.

Kerrigan, Trent Williams, Rak, RG3, and AlfMo are our big contracts coming up in the next couple of years.

Wonder what Morris will ask, assuming he continues to put up 1000+ yard seasons. Maybe 6 mil? The others will be a real b**** to resign; maybe 10 for Kerrigan, 12 for Trent, 12-13 for Orakpo, and 20 for G3(using today's cap limit)? But who do you let walk out of that group? Griffin, Trent, and either Orakpo or Kerrigan are the must resigns.

And you have to think about Reed's upcoming contract if he gets over the injury thing, plus Garcon's, Jackson's, and Hatcher's large contracts. Some of our best young draftees right now will be gone in 2 years, victims of cap restraints. Or not? Will we actually resign all those players?

Just hand-wringing out loud...

Cap is expected to go up significantly over the next few years.

Plus... you draft guys. You can't count on resigning everyone, or everyone demanding money that correlates to their production. We're going to lose some guys, it's life. We need to make sure we lose the right guys and have people behind them.

Trent, Griffin, and Kerrigan are musts for me. I'm not an Orakpo fan - unless he comes down in price to where I believe is reasonable.

If there's one thing we've always been good at it's negotiating the cap year in-year out. It'd be nice to see that put to use with quality players that contribute to making a quality team, instead of what we saw over the last 14 years.
