[@Michael-ro7uo]

Can't believe we got him at 16

[@skibum6220]

Go Hawks!

[@bonglordboy8562]

GO HAWKS LETS GO

[@Dfm25387]

Let's get it!!!

[@cull15]

So thankful it’s was an offense heavy first round, Played out perfectly for Seattle!

[@ianboath8489]

Go Hawks!

[@67Plush]

Hawks Nation!!!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@DosedLos]

Witherspoon and Murphy will be corner stones for Seattle for a long time

[@kylethorsrud1692]

Man, this dude could be the piece that turns our defense into a powerhouse GO HAWKS!

[@williamcooke6056]

Add Murphy to the Big Cat Leonard Williams, and Jarrad Reed, and maybe Dre' Jones can produce with three studs on this D-Line with him. Macdonald is bringing back the 4-3, and that is going to help. The only problem is seeing what we can do with our OLB'ers. Can they be 4-3 LB'ers? And we have like 6 of them. Really only need 4.

[@tyborg314]

rams thought they were gonna get their aaron donald replacement, hell nah, we get the next donald, go hawks

[@nutty-o]

Don't compare him to Donald. Murphy bout to build his own legacy👍

[@sizey9831]

What a pick! Crazy draft gave us this chance. What a steal!

[@RaulSmith]

Absolutely love this pick for Seattle. Mike Macdonald building a defense that could rival the Legion of Boom in terms of legendary defenses.

[@itsAariah]

Calm tf down we’ve been spoiled with defense, it’s not that easy

[@Sandman206]

FFS.. will everyone stop talking and comparing everything to LOB...let's enjoy the new era

[@thizlam4810]

I would have been totally fine with either Turner or Murphy, but DT is such a pivotal position and it’s a huge position of need for the Seahawks. I’m happy we didn’t trade back and took the best player for the biggest need on the team

[@raymondbrolly18499]

He’s small but makes up for it with pure speed. Takes on double teams and still gets to the ball.

[@thizlam4810]

Exact same height, weight, build, and arm length as Aaron Donald. Not saying he’s going to become Aaron Donald, but imagine…

[@nutty-o]

Defensive Tackles don't need to be tall anyway👍

[@nutty-o]

He's actually faster than Donald👍

[@duongdo1]

⁠@@thizlam4810possibly Aaron Donald 2.0

[@yanguskhan8513]

at first i thought he was a surplus but thinking about it, the drop off from the next tier DTs compared to the OGs is larger so murphys value is much higher. he seems like a type of player that can be a darnold. a game changer. i think after 10 years of darnold, the hawks wanted someone like that of their own. build a wall and force teams to throw. the hawks are starting to get some studs in the secondary so it might become an issue for opposing teams.

[@eriksports]

Love this. Welcome to Seattle!!

[@ryan16202]

Chris, you spoke some truth. Good call. I feel good about my Hawks pick.

[@mikeswinhart7160]

As a Seahawks fan, what makes me excited about adding Murphy alongside Leonard Williams and Dre'Mont Jones is what it could do for players like Boye Mafe & Uchenna Nwosu.

[@elicash315]

SEA

[@nikolaicarroll4276]

HAWKS

[@jamesgriffin5620]

Hawks!!!

[@moshpuppy13]

Hawks!!

[@jimcampbell4410]

This is how Baltimore builds .

[@richardsather6010]

❤😅It is meant to be. A Seahawk?! Yeah.😂❤

[@dallastatum6915]

He played running back in little league he developed great foot work defending the run as he matured into a defensive player.

[@douglasthompson9482]

Byron will work perfectly…..great acquisition.

[@davidthurman3963]

Love this pick. We needed this bad.

[@duongdo1]

If he’s next Aaron Donald & Seahawks with QB in places Seattle would be back on top again

[@ArjunGhag-ix7te]

Well done Simms. Ur a top pundit. It all starts with RUN D & RUN O, in nfl's most stormy rainy windy icy slippy city of Seattle. Rob & UK12s call him COBRA for the way he explodes with great power & speed to kill his prey (& also like strong & fast agents of the Cobra movies). Happy 4 you 2 use Cobra too Florio Simms Mina Kimes Rich Eisen. 12s should say, "Alleluia or similar !"" As another 3rd great draft for 12s has begun with R1 Murphy & R2 pro bowl Big Cat & 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-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 D Cobra Murphy is big big fan of LoB & fave SB is Hawks win. 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 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)

[@meric2363]

Murphy and Williams on the inside, Nwosu and Mafe on the edge, under our new system. Oohweeee

[@cliffordstanger8960]

Ever hear of Warren Sapp, could be that

[@buddysteele7624]

No one is capable of ruining a good time quite like Ahmed

[@tericarpenter3060]

Low key feels like when the rams got Arron Donald and jalen Ramsey together for the first time just we got ours at younger ages

[@alexamerling79]

Hopefully a Chicago 🐻

[@mikepaparelli665]

🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@natanielrajala3962]

Let’s go Seahawks!!!

[@sizey9831]

I really thought he was gonna ruin UW in the semi final and he almost did. He was a beast but Penix somehow got away and made it happen. Let’s see if he can be stopped without a double team!

[@paulmoon5344]

GO HAWKS!

[@dodu8281]

can u imagine if he is still on the board for the rams....

[@HalfTonChevy]

If he is. A bunch of teams gm should be fired

[@TTSCAM]

He won’t 😊

[@67Plush]

Too bad he’s a Seahawk. Let’s gooooooo

[@thizlam4810]

Nah, you don’t get Donald Jr my Seahawks do

[@user-xm4fb1ld7w]

That’s why Schinder didn’t except the trades even though he ran out the clock listening to them

[@Tony_Kaku]

💙💚🏈

[@timmoore8623]

Go Hawks 🎉❤

[@rickrussell498]

I hate taking small defensive linemen who rely on speed. Speed from a defensive lineman can be beat by technique of on offensive linemen. But strength is strength. And a smaller guy who is super strong can get the extra advantage of leverage, and if he is quick that’s a bonus.

[@DaFonz808]

Ever heard of Aaron Donald???

[@edubb2491]

HES GOOD WITH HIS HANDS! TOO

[@Factsonly1212]

GO HAWKS!!!

[@CartridgePros]

Right

[@minniedavis1743]

Go man

[@mohammedfahad4049]

AD lite

[@brandonblake.bblake.music.5112]

GO HAWKS!!!!!

[@curtiscox6469]

That last read was the most cringe thing I've heard in a minute. 😬

[@liamonthetube]

welp

[@wypipojefe3729]

Welcome to the jaguars

[@fleshhammer656]

You wish

[@moshpuppy13]

This aged like fine milk😂

[@brandonwilliams8083]

Biased choice

[@michaelsimpson2490]

Bengals if he's still there.

[@LUCC-E-BEAR]

Nope😂😂😂 Gooooooooo Hawks

[@OPSteel97]

Let’s hope he’s not like most Texans.

[@jerrymyers870]

Look at his college stats. Why do you all think he is so good? Do you all think he is going to get more tackles in the NFL. Overrated....Another average player. I hope I'm wrong.

[@tommyz4788]

He’s a monster. Last year was his first year as a starter. His stats don’t look crazy bc he was next to TVondre sweat, who was the big 12 DPOY. As a combo they were the most dominant interior in the league, so no one challenged them. All runs went to the outside, or all passes were short and rushed. They carried the defense to the CFP.

[@tommyz4788]

Similar to the few Aaron Donald nfl years where his stats look average. Like 2016. Yet he was first team all pro, bc of the amount of impact and attention he draws without getting raw stats

[@rickdarcy8689]

Double teams. Look at actually football games and the havoc he creates, not just an ESPN stat page. Hilarious

[@buddysteele7624]

Ahmed is so lame dude. Like he cannot he so lame. He always finds little ways to criticize Simms and like try to put him in his place and make him seem wrong or whatever. How about just be cool and agreeable and pleasant to be around

[@daddytrillbedf2068]

Sweat was a dog dumb dumb Sims. Sweat dominated but Byron did as well.

[@cmfocusproductions2147]

GO HAWKS!
