KYLER MURRAYQB, OKLAHOMA SOONERS
NFL Media's Daniel Jeremiah predicts that the Cardinals will draft Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray with the No. 1 overall pick.This has become the consensus, but we'll take Jeremiah's conviction on Murray (5'10/207) to Arizona to dig our heals deeper into that speculation, especially since Jeremiah was with NFL scouts and executives at Murray's pro day earlier this afternoon. Everyone, including Jeremiah, walked away impressed with his velocity and accuracy, not that those throws really matter. What actually matters to the Cardinals is how much draft capital they can fetch if they opt to trade Josh Rosen. While there was no insight on that today, Jeremiah did "guess" that Rosen will be starting in the NFC East. An interesting option would be for the Giants to flip the newly acquired No. 17 overall pick in exchange for Rosen.

Why not? Size doesn't mean much if you are highly athletic in the Russell Wilson mold, and that's what this kid is like. There's never been a higher level of athlete on the D-line as in today's NFL and this new QB prototype doesn't come along that often.

Really - short running QBs don't come out of college football often? JC Watts must be wishing he was born in the '90s. It used to be the most common thing, Oklahoma and Texas churned them out annually. But 10 years ago, NFL teams would have been asking Murray to do RB and CB drills.
I think a lot of NFL execs still look at Russell Wilson as an exception. If Murray succeeds as well, that will change - and then you will see a slew of shorter QBs.
