The Bengals have filled an immediate and long-term positional need.
By drafting Clemson edge rusher Myles Murphy, Cincinnati can improve on its lack of success in the pass rush that could’ve kept them from reaching that elusive Super Bowl championship. He’s a true third-down edge rusher who can help the Bengals win now.
That’s exactly what they needed in the first round.
Lots of chips and dominoes had to fall before Murphy was able to land where he did as late as he did. But the Bengals had him high on their board and their patience paid off.
What does a Bengals defensive front look like with Murphy in the mix?
The Strictly Stripes crew breaks down everything about Murphy’s game and how he can help supplement Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard in the trenches for Cincinnati. They also look ahead to what Day 2 of the NFL Draft presents for the Bengals.
This podcast features Mohammad Ahmad, Andrew Gillis and Michael Niziolek.
