I can’t believe the Saints take a LB @ 24 until the pick is in and announced... I’m leaning towards them selecting Shenault at this point.
If they go LB, whether it’s Murray, Queen, or even Baun... I’ll be all about it, and I’ll convince myself that player is going to be great.
Murray looks plenty instinctual. He also looks more stout than Queen. If I was looking for a day 1 starter at LB who can control the LOS and be a run stuffing machine, I’d take Murray. The Stephone Anthony comp is pretty poor. Anthony was a bad prospect. He had poor instincts and completely got by on athleticism. I think Rashaan Evans is a really good comp from what I’ve seen.
If you take Queen you have to keep him clean. But I think the Saints front four would allow that. I think Queen offers more as a pass defender and is a little more twitchy. I give him the slight edge because I like his upside slightly more. I think he’s pretty close to Myles Jack.
Both would likely be day one starters alongside Davis.

Another comp that might be more fitting for Murray and kind of how I think he will start his career is Jarrad Davis who went to the Lions in the 2017 Draft.Anthony was far from a bad prospect coming out and I remember him being considered by almost every data source to be the highest ceiling ILB prospect in the class. He was a splash player. Even as a rookie it was apparent that if he could process quicker, he could mold into a pro bowl caliber LB. It’s just not an easy task.
I would say Murray is going to be the better player because he was more productive in college, but from the prototype size/measurables to the strength/weakness traits, Anthony is the cautionary tale for him as a player for sure.
Don’t get me wrong, those athletic traits and what I view as his pros/cons don’t make him a sure-bust in my eyes. Anthony was highly touted because of Alec Ogletree a few years before him being a similar mold that was crushing it. I feel like diagnosing quickly is not an unlearnable trait. Sometimes it clicks and if it does, Murray can be great.
