Byron Murphy from Texas looks like an absolute mauler

I know many people want us to take a wide receiver in the first round, but we already have Tank, Nico, and Metchie, who was a 2nd round pick. Giving Stroud another top-tier weapon would be amazing, but we have more pressing needs elsewhere. Some people say we should draft an offensive lineman because there are a lot of good linemen in the draft, but we already have Tytus Howard and Tunsil. Plus, we should get the likes of Green and others back from injury. So, drafting an offensive lineman for depth or a possible slight upgrade on the guard spots is not worth it. A linebacker would definitely be needed if Blake Cashman goes into free agency, but there is no linebacker worth taking with pick 23. In my opinion, defensive tackle is one of our weakest positions and can't really be addressed in free agency since Chris Jones will likely be franchise-tagged. I know a lot of Texans fans would want Jer'zhan Newton, but I highly doubt he will fall to us in the draft. I think that Minnesota will take him at 11. Thus, I present to you all Byron Murphy II. He is an incredibly athletic pass rusher rapidly moving up draft boards and is well worth the 23rd pick. No matter who we choose in the draft, I trust Nick to get the right guy, but I definitely think we should consider Byron Murphy as an option.
