2024 Fantasy Outlook
Defensive line wasn't an urgent need for the Seahawks, but they nevertheless selected Murphy 16th overall with their only pick in the top 80 of the 2024 NFL Draft. That speaks to the talent and upside Murphy features, including superb athleticism and a 4.87 40-yard dash. While holdover DT Jarran Reed may take most of the reps at nose tackle to start the season, it wouldn't be surprising for Murphy to push for an expanded role immediately, even if it means bouncing to the outside.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Favorite to win ROY
Murphy was voted as the most likely player to win Defensive Rookie of the Year in a survey of league executives and scouts, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Murphy was taken 16th overall in April's draft but was the second defensive player off the board, meaning an immediate impact should be expected even if Seattle already boasts a talented defensive line. That leaves his role and path to consistent snaps murky, though one scout compared Murphy to Nnamdi Madubuike due to his explosive ability and their low-to-the-ground playing style. Madubuike broke out in 2023 under the coaching of Mike Macdonald, who is now the head coach in Seattle.
