Kyler Murray doesn’t crack the top 10

Murray ranks 11th on Daniel Jeremiah’s big board, which seems awfully low. When there’s a legitimate quarterback prospect worthy of the No. 1 overall pick, he almost always has to be on the short list of the class’s top players available. For Jeremiah, players like Hockenson, Rashan Gary and Christian Wilkens rank higher.

Sorry, I’m not buying it.

Murray is a dynamic playmaker at the game’s most important position who has an A+ arm and A+ athletic ability. Sure, he doesn’t have a long history of tape to study, but man, he’s the real deal.

There’s no way he should be outside the top 10.
