Kyler Murray, QB OU

It's a bit worrisome to see him at camp because if he impresses, clicks with KK they may run with him. I wish he went the Cutler route and just said enough with this crap.

It's strength and conditioning in this phase of their off season programs.

Him lifting some weights isn't gonna change much imo.

It's more likely his personality does not click, since he has a documented history of being abrasive.

People also said Kyle had a history of being abrasive. Some coaches will have issues with a guy like Rosen because he is very inquisitive, doing something just because "I told you so" doesn't really fly with him. He wants to know why so he can use it to improve his understanding and get better overall.



Personally I think that he and Belichick would hit it off extremely well.

Being a critical thinker isn't what I'm referring too. His character as a person and a leader is concerning. But hey, I don't really know the guy, so maybe he's not as bad as he was portrayed leading up to his draft.

This assertion is asinine. He wants to get as close to a first-round pick as possible so he can "save face"?

In what universe does a GM not try to get the maximize the return value for a player they're trading away?

We don't need a narrative to explain what the Cardinals are doing. They're trying to get as much as possible because that's what teams do every time.

100% agreed.

It also doesn't just have to be one or the other, though.

As a GM he wants to maximize returns on his investment because that's what a GM is supposed to do, but as a guy who has a job as GM he also wants to minimize narratives about his mistakes because that's what people with jobs who want to keep them are supposed to do.

It's much more of a both/and than an either/or, IMO.

Not a single player in the Arizona locker room had a bad thing to say about him and many praised his leadership. Maybe there was a lot of BS coming pre-draft from teams looking to hit his draft stock?
Former NFL GM Scot McCloughan said he has heard that the Arizona Cardinals will select Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray.

Possibly Gruden too, but his way is more painful. Belichick seems more likely to keep a short leash if a player doesn't execute or isn't ready.

Is that like a 2-14 49ers locker room giving Kaepernick the Len Eshmont?

There's no doubt in my mind that the Cardinals will take Murray. Why would the Cardinals give us the chance to trade down for a massive haul like the Rams got years back.

After the combine many had him around 13th to the Dolphins.

Just wondering what has changed since then to where he is worth a massive haul??

He could still get bored after a couple years and go back to baseball.

Also post combine many had him go to the Cardinals?

You didn't finish that sentence for the Cardinals tho. "...many had him go to the Cardinals because the new coach's former fondness with Murray added to the fact that he's never coached Rosen there, and the offense he ran @ Texas Tech,... so the organization could get away with hinting at Murray."

His value was somewhat assured because of the combine,...but not heavily inflated because of Mock Drafts to the Cards. Please don't confuse the 2,...a Mock draft is simply guessing what teams will do, not at all evaluation rankings.

Not sure what's the point there.


No point aside from the above,...just a question. When did he become worth a bunch of picks? It's possible he could've crept up to #1, but I haven't heard much to suggest he's worth a litany of picks.

If you follow the draft every year QBs get more and more hyped up no matter where they should really go. Teams without a QB will pay high prices to trade up for the one they think can be a franchise QB.

All Kyler Murray did was probably have the greatest single season any college player has ever had while going on to win the Heisman. If you don't think teams would trade up for that I don't think you been paying attention to recent drafts.

They love what he's done,...which is why he's skyrocketed up to a pretty much assured 1st round pick. We can't ignore the question marks though (height, pro-style offense conversion, another sport) and act like everyone's fighting to get him. If people have heard such, I'd like to know...

There's no reason to believe we wouldn't get a huge haul for Kyler Murray.

I have plenty of reasons to doubt that,...but huge haul like what for example??

Like I said review the history of teams trading up for QBs. There's certainly a track record for teams trading up to get their QB.



If you're not seeing why Kyler Murray is one of the best prospects to come out in the draft that's on you. If you don't think he would garner a Jared Goff like trade up that's on you. Again I had Mahomes as the best QB in the draft a few years back and people had concerns about him just like Murray.

Whoops to those teams right? The league is changing. Teams understand that spread QBs are doing just fine now that the NFL is adopting college schemes.

If anything, we're not hearing a lot about teams trying to trade up for Murray because they know it's probably a done deal he's gonna be gone. That's got to be a huge part of this.

I don't get how you can say 13th overall is what people value him as but only the Cardinals value him that high to pick him at 1 overall because of KK? That's BS.

All say it again, greatest single season for a College player ever and IMO the greatest running QB of all time already (yes, over Michael Vick).

Wow, an almost 70% completion percentage and 42 to 7 TD to interception ratio. and added 1,000 yards rushing on top of all that too. Holy

Well, we know they did once, right after the SB, when kyle asked him for an autopsy on what he should ahve done. Reports were that BB was very impressed by kyle. To my knowledge, tho, nobody other than kyle and BB were privvy to the meeting.
I just want the Raiders to move up to #1 to relieve all worries.
