Our roster is already loaded with high RAS players. We need to upgrade our RAS at head coach and GM.

Byron Murphy II
DT
Texas

My analysis is somewhat biased here. He was a wrecking show here in Dallas (Desoto High) & a disruptor down at Texas.
Has scored TWICE on offense, once rushing & once RECEIVING.

Big 12 DL of the year

We’ve ALL seen what happens when you bring heat up the middle.
Instant pressure can blow up run and passing games. Byron has shown the consistent ability to destroy pockets & take QBs off their spots.

Super talented & eager to learn and get better.

Not sure if he makes it to Day 2, but if so I’d be curious to see what the Saints do if he is there @ pick 45.

Would be floored if he drops to 45, but I know crazy things happen on draft day. I covet both him and Newton and would not be mad if either was our day one pick. I know we need o line talent, but there’s some to be had in the later rounds. Either one of those guys paired with Bresee would draw some attention to those young studs and leave some opportunities for our DE’s to eat
