Best reactions after Bengals draft Myles Murphy in first round

The Cincinnati Bengals stuck to their board in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft and selected Clemson defensive end Myles Murphy.

Murphy joining an already strong pass-rush that includes Trey Hendrickson, Sam Hubbard, Joseph Ossai and others generated some major reactions.

It also stirred up some controversy, though, as fan favorites such as Joey Porter Jr. and Michael Mayer were still available, too.

But the Bengals opted for the guy atop their board, electing to get a guy who appears to fit their scheme very well while helping immediately, stockpiling pass-rushers in an AFC that is increasingly loaded with elite quarterbacks.

Here’s a look at the reaction right after the pick went live.
