Louis Murphy was the only Oakland receiver drafted last year that wasn’t a bust, as the 4th-round pick outperformed 1st-rounder Darrius Heyward-Bey and was a starter from Week 1. Considering the quarterbacks who were throwing the ball his way, Murphy did the best he could and had a relatively productive season.
