I think Murphy is big enough to play DE in a 3-4 scheme. He measured 6'1 297 at the combine. Wilkins weighs 310 and Sieler weighs 300 and they played 3-4 DE's in our scheme. Davis was the NT. I am not sure who will be playing that position in the future. Maybe we could get Sweat if we acquire a 4th since he is likely to slip in the draft or maybe Boyd in the 5th or 6th round.By all measures we are going to play a 3-4. Murphy along with nearly all the top DT’s are 4-3 DT’s and way too small to play in a 3-4. Just look at the body types we have signed along the DL. There appears to be no spot along the line for 6ft sub 300 pound player.
Graham Barton is the pick that makes the most sense due to his position versatility.
With that said I am shocked how thin we are at Safety. We only have two with both theoretically on 1 year deals. I can see DeJean being the pick at 21 as a hybrid DB.
I’m going with Barton over DeJean simply because I think we could get a similar hybrid DB at 55 but I don’t think we can get a player with Barton’s versatility there.
