About as good as any other prospect. Could be as great as Drew Brees or as bad as Brodie Croyle. QB is a gamble no matter what position you are drafted.

I've always liked him. He seemed to disappear in big games... but only before he became a senior. I was impressed this past year with his field presence.

He reminds me of Matt Flynn.

He could be a decent / solid starter, and in the right system he could be very successful. Or he will be the top backup QB in the league. I like Murray a lot and hope he goes to a team that has a system where he could thrive in.

Either way, I see him being in the league for a long time. Might not always be the starter, but will be a top backup QB in the league and can help a team out that way.

Best of luck to Murray

I think Mett and Murray are the two best prospects. Not sold on any of the others.

He has an uncanny ability to march down the field during the last seconds of big games but fail to stick the ball in the endzone. (I'm thinking 2012 Alabama and 2013 Auburn.)

Other than that, I don't see much wrong with him.

Dumbest argument anyone can make against a QB. If he had dismal individual statistics against ranked opponents, that'd be one thing. But looking at the team record alone during the duration of a QB's tenure is completely senseless.

You must still be upset that he led that last minute drive to beat LSU. It's ok it will heal with time

The thought had occurred to me. But I'm serious when I say I don't see anything wrong with him.

So, which round are we talking? Third?

Murray had the auburn game won. He had brought UGA back from down 21 at the start of the 4th quarter and given them a lead with a minute left. I don't know what more you could ask of anybody

If Murray were 6' 3-4", then he would be the #1 QB, if not overall prospect, in the draft in a runaway vote. His height is the hurdle, he has every other tool he needs and is one of the most complete QBs in this class.

3rd round is probably his ceiling due to height and injury, I'm thinking 4th unless a team falls in love when they work him out.

Mett, IMO, will wind up being the best of the lot. He has all the physical tools, and as he matures mentally will become very, very good.

I agre with pretty much everybody else on Murray. Hit or miss. He works incredibly hard, but that does not always equate to success in the NFL.

Actually legitimate points...but he did well in the closing moments and OT against Tennessee this past season, too. I think he came along way this past season. That last season seemed to finish the process with him. Hopefully he is ready, now...but who knows?
