I think we’ll value Murray over Patrick Queen because of Murray’s prototypical size, experience and the ease in which he could play all three LB spots.
Murray reminds me of Stephone Anthony - checks off the boxes in athleticism, but the instincts are askew; and there's something not right about his interviews...

Like Patrick Queen more, but a) will Sean Payton take a LSU player? and, b) Queen is only 6' 0" tall and that'll lack of length will be a liability, especially for a first round pick...

Queen sure looked good late in the season. Caught fire really!! Showed what he could do in primetime to.

So you'd want to commit your first round pick and not another pick until late on Day 2 to a LBer that flashed mid-late season, and I'd agree impressively, but for only one season?

Maybe. Tons of upside. Passes the eyeball test on the field, tackles well enough and consistantly around the ball and has ball skills. Playmaker ability. Paired with Davis could be promising. I think he could start, and do well enough.

And you're not concerned at all about having a complementary defensive end not named Cam Jordan than can be available for the Tournament?

Scary thought.

Later did we find out Cam Jordan was playing injured in the Vikes 2019 wildcard game. Another pass rusher opposite CJ is needed and necessary.

Myself, I would be more concerned about a DT first than another DE. Crush the middle everything else falls into place. I'm loving the Auburn guy DT/DE Marlon Davidson the more I look at him. I think he would make a huge difference in the D line.

RDE (2) 92 - Marcus Davenport, 96 - Carl Granderson, 57 - Noah Spence (FA 2020)

NT (2) 90 - Malcolm Brown, 95 - Taylor Stallworth, 77 - Jalen Dalton (RFC 2020)

DT3 (2) 93 - David Onyemata (FA 2020), 99 - Shy Tuttle, 98 - Sheldon Rankins

LDE (2) 94 - Cam Jordan, 91 - Trey Hendrickson, 97 - Mario Edwards

Onyemata, Rankins, Tuttle, and you've got Mario Edwards on Ready-5 that can play DT3...

Not sure we could even afford another one - what we're shallow at is Defensive End...
