Watch: Rams react to the Seahawks drafting Byron Murphy II

Turns out the Rams really had their hearts set on Byron Murphy II going into the 2024 NFL draft in order to replace Aaron Donald. It didn’t happen that way and Murphy ended up with the team that he grew up rooting for.

We already knew that LA’s front office attempted to move up in the draft in order to get Murphy, but they were rebuffed. Now we have video of how the team reacted when he got picked by the Seahawks. Watch.

What stands out immediately is how eager Sean McVay was to get his hands on Murphy. The silence after the pick says a lot, as well. This feels like a significant victory for GM John Schneider.

While they won this round, the Seahawks still have one hell of a smart competitor in McVay to contend with. How well Mike Madonald matches up against him will go a long way towards determining how this next era of Seahawks football goes, no matter how good Murphy ends up.
