Final Jeopardy

[Harry]

When you have the 1st overall pick, the question should NOT be which player is most certain to make the team better. We have to stop thinking like that. With the 1st overall pick, the Cardinals need to take the player that is most certain to make them GREAT! That has to be the mindset. It doesn't matter if it backfires, and everyone gets fired. The only player that can make us GREAT is Murray. Go get him!!!!

Nice fantasy but football is a team game and usually the worst team has the first pick. Here’s the link. Not many (though mostly QBs) ended up making their team great.

Except Murray is a bit more accurate passer.

Jacksons taller and Murray will be in pocket...shorter QB in the pocket...tightens his throwing vison and lanes.Point is that schemes will be used to negate Murrays strong points.Every Qb deals with that.Jackson is not as accurate as Murray but he is extremely athletic and he was schemed against in the playoff game and held in check for half the game.keeping Murray in the pocket and denying him the abilty to improvise will be used against him.How he is able to react is the question.

If Murray is so freaking great and dominating then how come there have been very few rumors about teams wanting to move up and draft him? After all someone who is so "dominant and dynamic and transcendent" should have teams lining up to trade up for him.Where`s all the smoke about that?
After this is superduperstar Qb we all talking about...…….

Actually, since pre-draft is the season for lying, the deafening silence concerning Murray might actually mean that there's a lot of interest in Murray.

Some have suggested keeping Rosen around for another year and taking Murray. I'm not advocating that. But they need to get a fair haul for one of them in a trade. Other problem is do you really want to move Rosen within the conference? It wouldn't be the preferred route to take. You'd need to get an even greater haul of picks, imo. If no one offers a good enough haul for either Rosen or the 1st pick, then they have a tough decision to make, and it is still in the process as of right now, between Murray and Bosa, mtl. They like both. They might wind up taking Murray and hope that drives up the bidding for Rosen during the draft day process. They also could know who would be available as it unfolds on draft day. I don't see any trades transpiring before the day of, unless Oakland blows us away.

This kind of where I stand. I wish I was as certain as many on this board seem to be, but I'm not. I could go either way on the Murray/Rosen question. Which ever way we go I just want to get some good value in return.
