Plus playing the run is big you want a first round pick who can do both. Plus they say he played through an injury all year. The size and production debate post Murphy pick has been interesting. The best pass rushers in the league tend to be bigger guys Garret, Bosa, Hendrickson, Hutchinson, Danielle Hunter even TJ Watt is big . Far as production I'd obviously feel better about a prospect who's produced in college but sometimes there ask to do different things they won't do in the NFL. For example Stewart lined up at NT sometimes at 267. Danielle Hunter finished his college career with 4.5 total sacks but has 99.5 career sacks. Travon Walker had 9.5 sacks in 3 years at Georgia but has had back to back 10 sacks seasons in the NFL. Murphy had 17.5 college sacks which wasn't bad. There's also a bunch of smaller guys with big college production who've worked out and big guys with all the traits with no production that haven't. Guess what I'm saying is I'm keeping an open mind and each case differs.
Yeah, I wouldn't hate it if we drafted Mykel Williams. It is Stewart who scares the crap out of me with his lack of production but as you say, even
Danielle Hunter didn't have production in college but has been a stud pass rusher in the NFL.
