Byron Murphy II, the top iDL of the 2024 NFL Draft, joins the Seahawks

The top half of the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft skewed heavily toward the offense. Quarterbacks, wide receivers and offensive tackles made up the top 12 picks. Seattle stayed put as Byron Murphy II, the top interior defender in the draft, fell to them with the 16th overall pick. After taking Devon Witherspoon last year, the Seahawks have now taken the second defensive player off the board in back-to-back drafts. How will Murphy fit into a rotation that already includes Jarran Reed, Leonard Williams, Dre'Mont Jones, Johnathan Hankins, Cam Young, Mike Morris and Myles Adams?

Who would've thunk it 😅 the qb gods gave us the humble beast , no more gashing us up the middle, wow what a great start to the draft 👏 go hawks

[@Perfumery_by_Sabin]

Yeah, they strengthened the spine of the defense. I am stoked

[@SeaHawkersPodcast]

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)

The fact the seahawks were getting calls for a trade thats why it took them so long to pick and didnt do it proves to me mike macdonald thought highly of byron. Best defensive player in the nfl draft IMO.

[@gamblingoat1787]

Thanks fellas. Go Hawks!

[@jamesstradley3232]

Kind of anxious to see how they are going to use Mike Morris in this mix GO HAWKS!!!

[@SeaHawkersPodcast]

He's such a wildcard with incredible upside!!! Great call out!

[@Whatsthedill_ENT]

Leonard williams & Byron Murphy is a nightmare in Seattle for opposing teams lol
