Medical definitely. His production heavily outweighs the age issue. Although I’ve wondered if his physical maturity is why he did so well. But he doesn’t rely on great physical attributes. I think two bold things. Irsay demands we go get Marv jr. if not then we are taking an edge rusher. If latu is at 15 it seems like the clearest lock to me. Maybe not so bold. -

I'll be scratching me head forever if the Colts pass on him, and he turns out to be Aaron Donald. I know you're big on "measurables". I remember back in the day arguing with you about Braden Smith being able to play RT because his arms weren't long enough. Don't get me wrong, I know measurables certainly play a part. But I still take the player and his skillset over his measurements. -
Are you hoping it doesn't happen because he doesn't fit the Colts profile? Or because you don't think he'd be a good player for us? I agree that he's not a Ballard type of prospect, and for that reason, I doubt we draft him. We only have one DT who's shorter than 6'4" -- Adebawore is 6'2", he was drafted in the 4th round, he's an outlier athlete, has really long arms, and I think he's probably more of a DE/DT hybrid. Drafting a 6'0" DT/3T, especially in the first round, doesn't seem like something Ballard would do. But I think Murphy is a really good player, and a really good athlete, despite his lack of size. His speed and explosive numbers are great for a player his size. His tape looks good. He fits our defensive scheme. He led all interior DL prospects with a 19.6% pressure rate. He hates being blocked, and plays like he lives his life for the sole purpose of defeating offensive linemen. I am not comparing him to Aaron Donald. But before the 2014 draft, I said Donald was the kind of guy you just draft and figure it out, whether he fits your scheme/profile or not. In no way am I saying Murphy is as good as Donald was, not even as a prospect, but I think he might be good enough to apply the same logic. Put him in a gap shooting front and let him disrupt. I would not mind if we drafted him at all. It would be a big surprise, but I think he's a really good prospect. -
I was waiting for his mock today. Some interesting picks but nothing quite as exciting as him predicting the Texans trade up to 3 and them getting Stroud and Anderson. The most interesting one is him giving JC Latham to the Chargers at 5. I expect them to get an OT but I thought it would be Alt. Lets see... Another interesting thing - Brian Thomas Jr drops all the way to 28 to the Bills. There has been some rumors about him having a shoulder issue that would need to be addressed surgically at some point. Possible he falls. Latu falls to 27 too... I guess health related again. Worthy and Mitchell go 31 and 32 to the 49ers and the Chiefs... Urgh! -

I have noticed this too,nothing against Murphy he is a good player,but I’m hoping for a WR or atleast the TE Bowers.
