Childhood Seahawks fan Byron Murphy II has his ‘dream come true’
The former Texas Longhorn is the first Seahawks draft pick under new head coach Mike Macdonald.
For the second straight season and fourth time in the last six, the Seattle Seahawks used their top pick of the NFL Draft on a defensive player. Texas defensive tackle Byron Murphy II was one of only nine defenders taken in Round 1, and he’s the latest addition to the Seahawks’ retooled interior front.
Draft call drop.

The moment @ByronMurphyII found out he'd be playing for his favorite team. pic.twitter.com/nAGoFWsXCzSpeaking with media on Thursday night from his Texas home, Murphy provided a description of what he brings to Seattle’s defense.
“I’m just very aggressive, a very dominant player,” Murphy said. “I can stop the run, rush the passer, I’m an all-three-down type of D-lineman. That’s why I feel like I fit perfect in their scheme and their defense.”
Murphy also says the Seahawks view him as a 3-tech defensive lineman (placed opposite the outside shoulder of the guard).
The 21-year-old Murphy also revealed that he was a Seahawks fan growing up—he wasn’t even a teenager yet when Seattle won the Super Bowl—and now he’s going to be playing for the team he loved to watch.
“I really loved the Legion of Boom, Earl Thomas, Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, Michael Bennett, all those guys, just how dominant they were,” Murphy said. “And you had the offensive guys, Russell Wilson, Marshawn (Lynch), Doug Baldwin, (Jermaine) Kearse. Just watching them growing up, they dominated the league, they won a Super Bowl, so growing up watching them do that, man, that’s all I ever wanted is to win the Super Bowl.
“It means a lot (being picked by Seattle), it’s an honor for them to believe in me and invest in me. I’m going to give them everything I’ve got. I owe them my everything. Growing up that was my favorite team, so to be drafted by Seattle, it’s crazy. I give all glory to God, I feel like it’s just God’s plan.”
I’m sure the Seahawks organization and the fans can’t wait to see Murphy live out his dream on the field and wreak havoc in the backfield.

2024 NFL Draft, Round 1 recap: Seahawks take ‘best defensive player in the draft’
Byron Murphy II is headed for Seattle.
Round 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft is in the books, and the Seattle Seahawks did stay at No. 16 (despite some efforts to do otherwise, apparently) and make a pick. In the words of Seahawks general manager John Schneider, Seattle got themselves the best defensive player in the draft.

— John Boyle (@johnpboyle) April 26, 2024Texas defensive tackle Byron Murphy II was a standout player in college and had a fantastic NFL combine to put him in position to be a high draft pick. Murphy was Big XII Defensive Lineman of the Year in 2023 and provides the Seahawks with some much-needed two-way interior help as a disruptive pass rusher and strong run defender.
Of course, by not trading down (or trading at all), Seahawks fans will likely have to sit tight until the team is on the clock again. Seattle’s next pick is in the third round, having given up its second-rounder to the New York Giants in the Leonard Williams trade. If you’re so minded, the Seahawks have spent their top two draft picks for 2024 on the interior d-line.
The story of the day across the NFL was the offense-heavy nature of Round 1. An astonishing 14 straight offensive players were taken before UCLA edge rusher Laiatu Latu went off the board to the Indianapolis Colts at No. 15. A whopping 23 offensive players (including six quarterbacks in the top 12) were taken on Thursday, an all-time record. That means we should see a run on the remaining top defensive names on Friday.

Report: Seahawks tried to trade up for Michael Penix Jr
Penix went to the Atlanta Falcons at No. 8 overall.
The first surprise of the 2024 NFL Draft was the Atlanta Falcons drafting former Washington Huskies star quarterback Michael Penix Jr with the No. 8 overall pick. Penix’s stock rose considerably in recent weeks to the point where there was confidence that he’d be taken in the first round, but not necessarily that high.
Atlanta signed Kirk Cousins (off an Achilles tear, mind you!) to a four-year contract worth up to $180 million, including $100 million guaranteed. The Falcons nevertheless seem to have his successor.
Penix’s ties to Seahawks offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb made him a possible fit for Seattle. Evidently, Seattle was among three teams vying to move up the draft order to take him. This is according to longtime NFL insider and former NFL Network reporter James Palmer.
The #Seahawks, #Saints and #Raiders all tried to get into the top 10 for Michael Penix per sources.
— James Palmer (@JamesPalmerTV) April 26, 2024The New Orleans Saints and Las Vegas Raiders ultimately did not budge from their slots and drafted Taliese Fuaga and Brock Bowers, respectively. Seattle took defensive tackle Byron Murphy II.
Given the lack of draft capital this year, this presumably would’ve involved (at the very least) sacrificing picks in 2025. The only Seahawks player who’d possibly be seen as the type of high-end asset used to move up in the draft would be DK Metcalf, and while there have been some whispers and rumors, he’s still here.
So there you have it. If the report is to be believed, the Seahawks eyed the Huskies legend, but the attempt was unsuccessful.

Seahawks 2024 NFL Draft Round 1 tracker
Here’s where to follow along for all the updates on the first round of the draft as the Seahawks wait to come on the clock!
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time! You’ve sifted through countless mock drafts, watched hundreds of highlight videos and parsed the measurables of hundreds of draft-eligible prospects, and tonight’s the night it all goes out the window because John Schneider is going to draft someone that leaves you scratching your head.
Fans and observers are curious to see how Schneider handles his first draft as general manager of the Seattle Seahawks without Pete Carroll around, while questions abound regarding how things might change following the overhaul of the coaching staff. What kind of offensive linemen is new o-line coach Scott Huff looking for? Will the Hawks draft a quarterback of the future for Geno Smith to mentor? Will the Seahawks somehow dig up a pair of second round picks so they can add a running back and outside linebacker in the second round for the third year in a row?
As of right now DraftKings sportsbook has the over/unders for Quinyon Mitchell (15.5), Terrion Arnold (15.5), Troy Fautanu (15.5) and Laiatu Latu (16.5) enveloping the pick the Seahawks hold at 16, with Jared Verse (17.5) right there as well.
Round 1 airs live on ESPN, ABC and the NFL Network at 8 PM Eastern/5 PM Pacific, with the Seahawks expected to come on the clock between 10:30 PM and 10:40 PM Eastern/7:30 PM and 7:40 PM Pacific, according to MSN.com. Of course, that could be off by a few minutes, so might as well just tune in to Field Gulls to stay on top of everything that transpires on Day 1.

NFL Draft 2024 results: Grade the Seahawks’ Byron Murphy II pick!
Seattle goes defense with its first pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. Do you like the selection?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-inSeattle Seahawks fans and fans across the country.Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
The Seattle Seahawks have made their first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Despite expectations that Seattle would trade down, the draft played itself out in a way that a series of top defensive players became available at No. 16. An unprecedented 14 consecutive offensive players were chosen, including the top six quarterbacks in the class.
With Laiatu Latu going to the Indianapolis Colts at No. 15, the Seahawks stayed put and chose Texas defensive tackle Byron Murphy II. Seattle has taken the consensus best interior defensive lineman in this year’s class. Murphy is the first pick of the Mike Macdonald era and it’s already a statement of intent that the Seahawks are going to keep rebuilding a defensive line that has struggled for any semblance of consistency for years.
We’ve got another SB Nation Reacts survey coming your way! How do you grade this pick? A, B, C, D, and F are the options. Your choice is based on your own grading rubric.
This is a quick turnaround survey so you should expect the results in a separate article on Friday. You don’t get to take a peek at how other people are voting!

‘We are so back’ - Twitter reacts to Seahawks drafting Byron Murphy II in 2024 NFL Draft
Seattle took the consensus best interior defensive lineman in the draft.
The Seattle Seahawks once again remained in place with their top draft pick. No trade downs for a fifth consecutive NFL Draft, but for a third year in a row you could say they took one of the best (if not the best) players available.
At pick No. 16 and with the top six quarterbacks all taken well before Seattle was on the clock, the Seahawks took Texas defensive tackle Byron Murphy II. A dominant interior lineman, Murphy was just the second defensive player off the board in the first round. The Big XII Defensive Lineman of the Year has the distinction of being the first pick of the Mike Macdonald era. Seattle invested in the trenches as many expected with its first pick, but it’s on defense and not offense. The Seahawks’ next scheduled pick is at No. 81 in the third round.
What are people saying about the latest player to join the Seahawks roster? Social media was abuzz with opinions, so take a look for yourself! Early consensus is that Seattle made a great pick.

Seahawks 2024 Draft: Watch highlights of first-round pick Byron Murphy II!
The Seahawks add a playmaker to their defensive line!
The Seattle Seahawks have made their first selection of the Mike Macdonald era, and they used it to draft Texas Longhorns defensive tackle Byron Murphy II!
Murphy was considered the best defensive tackle in the draft, if not the best defensive player. With the first 14 picks coming off the board all on offense, Murphy feel into Seattle’s lap at No. 16 overall. The Seahawks got themselves a 21-year-old blue-chip defensive tackle at a time when interior defensive linemen are highly prized.
In his final season with the Longhorns, Murphy II won Big XII Defensive Lineman of the Year. Here’s what the SB Nation team had to say about Murphy:
The near-unanimous choice at the top of the defensive tackle rankings is Texas’ Byron Murphy II. While Murphy is undersized at 6’0.5, 300 and with 32 3/8” arms, he is unquestionably one of the best athletes in the class. Murphy ran a 4.87s 40 at nearly 300 pounds, which is absolutely incredible, and managed a 4.5s short shuttle and 7.5s 3-cone. He turned in an elite workout at the NFL Combine (9.23 RAS) which solidified him as a first-round prospect.
While Murphy and second-place DT Johnny Newton share similar size constraints, Murphy wins more win his combination of athleticism and strength, while Newton relies more on his advanced technique. That leads to higher upside for Murphy, particularly against the run, while I think his floor is a bit lower. Murphy’s lack of technical polish and pass rush moves might lead to a slower start for him in the NFL, but his natural gifts make him a more imposing run defender. Either way, I think Murphy has impact starter potential, it just might take a little time.
What will he contribute to the team? Hopefully something like this:
Go Hawks!

NFL Draft 2024 results: Seahawks select Byron Murphy at No. 16
Seattle did indeed address the trenches, adding a big name for the defensive front
After months of waiting the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft is underway, and while things went as expected for the first few picks, there’s been no shortage of surprises.
The Atlanta Falcons made the most shocking of the surprise moves so far, selecting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth overall pick, in spite of having signed Kirk Cousins as a free agent in March. That allowed the Chicago Bears to add Penix’s college teammate Rome Odunze, and for the Minnesota Vikings to select J.J. McCarthy with the tenth overall pick, making it five quarterbacks in the first ten selections.
This is just another indication of how quarterback-driven this league is, and that teams that don’t have a franchise quarterback will do whatever they need to in order to find their franchise quarterback.
As for the Seattle Seahawks, they came on the clock at No. 16 with plenty of needs to address, and crossed one of those off the list by selecting Byron Murphy out of Texas.

The NFL is different from other major sports leagues in that most of its games are televised not on cable channels but on free over-the-air networks like Fox, CBS, and NBC, although some of these arrangements could be updated from time to time. That said, it could still take some effort to search for good deals offering an NFL live stream suited to a particular budget and might entail using a mobile app over a streaming broadcast for a wide screen television set. While it could prove challenging to find an NFL live stream portal for completely free viewing during an entire season, including playoffs, here are some options that might suit certain needs.
