Thank you for being more positive. Justin Hinds the defensive line coach for the seahawks was my high school teammate back in Woodbridge NJ. He is so excited to coach this kid!

This O line class is so deep that there will be potential starter quality G available @81.

Loved the pick and the show earlier, short and sweet.

One of your best mocks Dan.

Great evening for the Seahawks.. I’m so excited to see who we get at #81.. awesome show, Dan!

There are two pairs of inside DTs that I see win SBs: Chunk and Thunk, or Thunder and Lightning. We signed Chunk Johnathan Hankins to play alongside Thunk Leo Williams, who could also play Thunder. Murphy is a hybrid who can be Chunk, Thunk, Thunder or Lightning whenever he wants to be. We now have two blue chip DTs and a couple guys I expect to be reddish chips under Coach Mike, and the future is bright! Getting Murphy seems evocative of Cortez Kennedy!

Love that mock draft. Starters with the first 3 picks and then good upside with the rest 👍

I’m thrilled they got him and picked at 16. Wow 🤯 I’m excited GO HAWKS. Great job

Totally agree with your rest of the draft picks! Great post 1st round show! You make a lot of sense!

What a fantastic show Dan. Just quality content. Love it.

WR isn't a need right now. DK, Ty, JSN, Shenault, Eskridge, White, Young and Winston is a solid core. I think you just wait and grab some UDFA Wrs to see what they got and fortify LB or S instead. That said, where you took Pratt at 118, Brenden Rice of USC was available and he would be, by far and away the best of the remaining WRs. So if WR is indeed part of the plan, pass on Pratt for Rice (pun intended). Other guys I would love way more than Pratt that are available at 118 in this mock are: PSU/FSU/TCU TE's LB Williams (Miami) RB Bucky Irving (UO) Edge Javon Solomon (Troy) C Bortolini (Wisky) CB Jackson (UO) CB Smith-Wade (WSU) S Oladapo (OSU) and OT Goncalves (Pitt). Like you said, they've essentially drafted a 4th round QB this year by acquiring Howell. Carrying 3 QBs is a waste of allocation. Particularly when Pratt and Howell are similar skill sets. So many other places to shoreup the roster with a quality player.

Love your analysis. I usually watch Brenden Nelson but he goes more off how he “feels” about a player and you look at the damn stats! He was upset about Byron but boy I am excited

Can't wait to see what they are going to do with big Mike Morris GO HAWKS!!!

The fact that Fautanu was still there and his past OC and OL Coach did not draft him was telling….I’ll trust Mike & John 😂 great pick for Murphy 🎉🎉

The fact that Murphy fell to us at 16 is crazy. I think the falcons taking Penix really helped with keeping the run on offensive players going. I wanted Carter last year, glad we got Spoon and now we have Murphy who could be just as good.

I loved the pick. It was the best move for them if they would have traded back he would not have been there. We got the #1 defensive pick at pick 16. Great pick

Michael Lombardi who evaluates 3 techs well and values them more than most people said if him and Al Davis were still at the raiders with the #1 pick theyd pick murphy

DTs in my lifetime that were special. Page, Green, White, Watt and Donald. If Murphy is 70% of those guys, he's a HoF player. Why? Those 5 were Godly good. He has the traits to be very good. Will he be time will tell.

Great show

I have never seen a draft so offensive sided in the first half of the draft! My first choice was to trade back. But if they stayed and picked, it would be either Dallas Turner, Troy Fauntanu or Byron Murphy...well that worked out alright. No way we are going to carry 3 Qb's though...you know that. other than that, I like that draft.

I agree with you…LB/Colson would be a great next pick. I also ran several PFN mocks but he’s gone in the 70s every time. Trotter and Williams are next up who are available at 81.

So I really wanted Troy Fautanu. But I'm excited for Byron Murphy. The whole time I felt like we woukd go defense if a few players were still on board by the time we got to #16. I did not think every one of those players would be available at #16. Especially Murphy. But low and behold he was there. I hope we address G today. But I do see they clearly have a direction for the defense and that is exciting because we really needed to address our DL. Murphy was an excellent selection and to be there at #16 could turn out to be incredibly special. With that said I am so freaking happy for MPJ, Rome, and Fautanu. For MPJ and Rome to go #8 and #9 was special. And for Fautanu to go to his favorite NFL team even though it's Pittsburgh is special. What a fun 1st round of the draft. I really believe Penix is going to be one of the best picks in the draft. I don't care what anybody thinks, that kid has the mind and the heart to succeed in the NFL and I personally believe he will thrive in Atlanta. He has some great offensive pieces around him.

I would love if this draft finished this way. Especially Jackson and Pratt picks

Draft of thrones and king Murphy sits on chair 😂 woooooooo fkn love this pick he was my first pick all along but didn't think we could get him qb love sure got us there 😅 A plus pick IMO

Very happy too.

I'm so glad they are focusing on the trenches love the first pic I believe Byron is a blue chip

Florio & C.Simms & Peter King love B.Murphy2 (who loves HoF LoB M.Bennett & is 12s from age 10). Top DT's are v expensive so to get 1 on a rookie deal is GREAT. It all starts with RUN D & RUN O, in nfl's most stormy rainy windy icy slippy city. Rob & UK12s call him COBRA for how he EXPLODES with great power & speed to kill his prey (& also like those strong & fast agents of the Cobra movies) It's another 3rd great draft in a row for 12s with R1 Murphy & R2 pro bowl Big Cat & these following traders & IR redshirts of R4 age 22 QB (who had better TD INT stats after 17 games than J.Allen) Sam Howell & Red shirts ( IR or injury returners ) R2 Derek Hall ( who cud explode in yr 2 like Mafe did after an injury hobbled rookie yr) R4 Cam Young & IR R5 DL award winner Mike Morris The Fantastic 4 (Big Cat-Jarran-Cobra Murphy-M.Morris)(backed up by Dre & Young, etc), are really good Trench boys who will play very well this yr, giving a huge boost to the 12s D. Cobra Murphy is big big fan of LoB & his fave SB is Hawks win. Fave player is Mike Bennett. 12s are as happy as Florio who got a great QB in JJ. ( UK Maths profs just predicted JJ & Penix & Nix will be better than Caleb JD & Maye, a la what hapoened in QB draft of 1983), The 12s got a AD99/ Bennett hybrid 2.0, but Murphy is at v young age of 21, & it means BM2 will be better than Mike & win more SB's with Seahawks very soon. JS got worried about fautanu's knee health. Grubb knows TF very well, so we should trust them in rejecting big Troy. BIGGEST RUN WALL WILL BE BUILT. & NO Team WILL RUN on the 12s, just like the good old days of the LoB who were ranked the top D 4 seasons in a row, the only D to ever do that, & the only D to smash the GOAT O led by 50 TD's Manning. ( as per KJ WRIGHT)

Saw this morning that the hawks and other teams tried to trade for penix.

And the mock drafts just keep coming😂

Do you see hawks giving 81 & 1 4th to move into the 2nd tmr?

Love how this hurts the Geno haters

Sometimes you just cant pass up a pretty sure thing no matter the situation.

He said he'll play between 300/305 lbs

I would love Brennan Jackson coming in here.

I am not mad about the pick however, without a 2nd round I would have loved us to move down and get a 2nd. As I am watching your simulator why the heck would the Commanders take Spencer Rattler in the 3rd when they already drafted Daniels? that would make absolutely no sense! When I ran the same simulator they had Spencer Rattler going to Patriots which again makes no sense... I am throwing the simulators away... LOL

Murphy is a Dogg Best of the Best along with his team mate Montez Sweat! Both are the best players for U,Texas, in for Defense across the Nation. WE Needed him more than this 16th Pennix idea, what matters more for the need don't need a QB in 24!! Go Hawks !!

Cobra Murphy is big big fan of LoB & fave SB is SB48 when Hawks won. Fave player is Mike Bennett. 12s prayers got answered, 12s got Bennett 2.0, but at v young age, 21, & means BM will be better than Mike & win more SB's with Seahawks very soon. They got worried about fautanu knee health. Grubb knows TF very well, so we should trust them rejecting big troy. BIGGEST RUN WALL WILL BE BUILT. NO ONE WILL RUN on the 12s like the good old days of the LoB. It starts with RUN D & RUN O, in nfl's most rainy windy icy slippy city seattle. Credit to Rob Staton for naming him the 12s Cobra for the way he explodes with great power & speed to kill his prey. Alleluia ! Another great draft for 12s has begun

McCormick and Zinter are the guards i want. If Colson is there, that would be the pick.

They had Washington getting rattler lol

what does this pick say about Young

Go COUGS

No way the guy shouldn't have been there at sixteen. You wanted to trade down but you couldn't pass the guy up. He's in some drafted top 5 but easily top 10.

It's funny how wrong all the "experts" can be each year, yet we always listen to them because what other choice do we have? Lol

They won't take Pratt. He has a very weak arm. Look at his "highlight films" - almost every "big throw" he makes is under-thrown and the WRs have to run back to the ball. Colson or Trotter should be there at 81 and maybe 102. I think they will take 2 guards between 81-118.

Penix would have been a horrible pick. Not because of the player because he was a QB you didn't need if you think Howell is anything. He's younger.

As Another great draft for 12s has begun with Murphy in R1 & Big Cat in R2 & IR redshirts Rd4 Cam Young & award winner Mike Morris in Rd5. The Fantastic 4, really good Trench boys who will play very well this yr, giving a huge boost to the D.

AARON DONALD 2.0 in Seattle but When is The Q.B. METCALF ever gonna be to COMING to Seattle I've been waiting now for 2 YEAR'S already when is The Q.B. MESSIAH coming to Seattle

Maye was a horrible pick. Going 3 for a 4th round at best talent at QB. Horrible pick with a huge bust factor. The chances of him being good is not high.

Penix won’t be an all pro lol. Pro bowl is a reach for him

He is a rookie...he'll have to play special teams for a while.
