A new prospect is in the running to be the first defensive player off the board in Thursday’s NFL Draft.
After being merely an afterthought less than a week ago, Byron Murphy II is rocketing up mock drafts, leaving oddsmakers to wonder whether he could be the first defender to have his name called. But over the past few days, Murphy, the defensive tackle from Texas, gained a ton of steam among draft experts and Vegas bookies. Murphy has gone from +1000 to +170 to be the first defensive player selected Thursday. He’s now just a hair behind Turner, who has fallen to +145.
UCLA pass rusher Laiatu Latu has also become a bigger part of the conversation, going from +275 last week to +190. NFL insiders Daniel Jeremiah and Adam Schefter both floated Murphy as a player who may go earlier than expected. “One of the things that’s been kicked around — the name that, if you asked me who the surprise top-10 pick is or somebody we just didn’t see coming, to me that’s Byron Murphy,” Jeremiah said last week,Schefter wrote this week that some team officials have told him Murphy has a “realistic chance” to be the first defensive player off the board, fueling the prospect’s draft stock.
