I think Boylehart has him 17 after Van Ness as well. Those are still a ways from 31 and teams overdraft edge rushers with regularity. I guess it will come down to where NFL teams value Van Ness and Murphy that'll make the biggest difference. If they see them like they saw Johnson and Karlaftis last year where there is a pretty significant drop from the top couple of guys, and I'd certainly side with that being true, then they could go much later than even the pundits might think. The only differentiating factor might be the lack of top-end talent elsewhere as well as the overall need for edge talent. I also still don't see how Smith is a 1st round talent, like at all. Maybe he's a bottom of 1 guy but I'm not seeing top half the first talent where he's being ranked regularly.
