This isn’t quite a mock draft, but it is a recommendation to address the trenches.
The Seattle Seahawks have not spent a lot of early-round draft capital on interior defensive linemen over the past couple of decades. They’ve not selected a defensive tackle in the opening round since Marcus Tubbs in 2004 , and their only second-round DTs during that span are Jarran Reed and Malik McDowell.

Here’s a look at his Relative Athletic Score for his position. Unlike T’Vondre Sweat, his former Longhorns teammate who weighs 366 lbs, Murphy is considered undersized at just 6’0 1⁄2 and 297 pounds.
