Murray A Bit Of A Nudge
KYLER MURRAYQB, COLLEGE PLAYER
NFL.com's Kimberly Jones reports "nearly every talent evaluator" she spoke to at the Combine expects Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray to go No. 1 overall to the Cardinals.Jones essentially could not find anyone at the Combine to dispute the notion. The report comes the same day that Jones' NFL Network colleague Charley Casserly claimed Murray bombed the Combine, supposedly making a poor impression as a studier and leader while greatly disappointing in his "board work." Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury does not seem too worried about Casserly's assessment.

I'm guessing he has only one testicle too...

"Well, he better hope Kingsbury takes him No. 1 because this was not good," Casserly said. "This was the worst comments I ever got on a high-rated quarterback, and I've been doing this a long time. I've probably been doing it longer than you're alive.
"Anyway, leadership -- not good. Study habits -- not good. The board work -- below not good. Not good at all in any of those areas and raising major concerns about what this guy is going to do. Now, people say, we're going to compare him to Mahomes, we're going to run an offense like Mahomes, we're going to run an offense like Baker Mayfield. Well, you can't. ... Those guys are much different. Those guys, you never question about their ability on the board, you never question about their leadership ability, their work habits, they were outstanding in those areas. This guy is not outstanding in those areas. It showed up in the interview."
This guy was exciting to watch for one season in college, but I don't know if he has what it takes to be successful in the NFL. These are some pretty big red flags and he came across poorly in the Dan Patrick interview as well. If I was a team looking for a QB in this draft, it would be Haskins. Listen to that guy talk about football... he gets it. I don't think Murray does.
And Pete Schrager is on NFL Network right now saying the exact opposite...

As is uncle Gil
If this was a bit job to get Murray to drop to benefit a team (Hello Washington) then he should be fired immediately.
