NFL Draft Results 2015: Seahawks select Ryan Murphy, DB, Oregon State

The Seahawks have selected Ryan Murphy, a defensive back from Oregon State, with the 248th overall pick. Murphy played safety at Oregon State, but I wrote that he looked like a Seahawks corner last week.

Murphy fits the arm length and athleticism requirements of a Seattle defensive back, but it's not clear where he'll factor in yet.

Ryan Murphy played safety at OSU, so it's a projection to put him at outside corner. As someone who watches a lot of Oregon State football, he's excellent at football while also testing as one of the better athletes in the class.
