Would you draft a 5'10" QB with 1st overall pick?

In a heartbeat if they ran a 4.4 40, had 32" arms and 10+" hands, had Patrick Mahomes' arm strength, had the accuracy of Drew Brees, and had no injury concerns.
I probably wouldn't take Kyler Murray because he's short with short arms (lower release point than Russell Wilson) and his playing weight was under 200 pounds (he bulked up for the combine and we didn't get to see how it affected his athleticism because he didn't run). He has a really good arm (doesn't have Mahomes/Josh Allen arm strength, but has an NFL arm and is accurate).
It all depends on who else is available in the draft. If there's an elite 6'4 QB, they're probably the pick. If there's a once in a generation edge talent like Myles Garrett available, you aren't picking the 5'10 QB.
