The NFL Draft is here, and that means arbitrary grades are soon to follow! Sure enough, with day one in the books, analysts around the league are sounding off on how they feel about yesterday’s first round picks. Despite the shocking run on quarterbacks that saw six passers off the board before the middle of the round, the Seahawks stood pat and selected the best player available in Byron Murphy II. Unsurprisingly, this selection has earned rave reviews from pundits around the league.
Noted draft expert Dane Brugler of The Athletic gave the Hawks a solid ‘A,’ describing Murphy as a disruptive force inside.
