Dwayne Haskins-QB-Ohio State

He is an exciting college player but this might be- as others have said- a mistake.

Look at the size of the football in this pick. It's a college ball and not the "duke" then just go look at some random pro qb pic.

Best of luck to him.

I wouldn't be so sure. Same things were said about Wilson who's a whole 1 inch shorter. Granted Wilson was drafted in the 3rd round, I think teams would be more willing to take that chance based on Wilson's success and a draft class starved of talent along with Mayfield's success who came from the same system and Murray outperformed him in it. This kid is a better quick twitch athlete than both of them and possesses the same arm.

Wilson is 5'11" and built like a tank. Murray is like 5'9" and looks to be about 180 pounds. Getting passes batted down was already an issue for him in college.

This kid is about to make a big mistake. And he will have to return his signing bonus.

LOL that money he returns is chump change for the signing bonus he could get in the NFL

What sort of signing bonus do 5th round picks get? The A's signing bonus was reported to be $4.66 million. Chump change?

Murray ain't going in the 5th round. If he comes out at 5' 10 at the Combine, he's a 1st rounder and if he comes out taller than Wilson (5' 10 5/8) he could be at the same level as Haskins.

5'10" qb in the first? That would make me laugh.

I think he's right but I also think that he'll likely measure under that. If this kid was 6'2 or so he'd probably be the 1st pick overall.

Wilson may have been drafted in the 3rd but his success will change people's perspective on Murray IMO.

LOL and you know he's going in the 5th how? You really think he and his agent and his family is dumb enough to decide that entering the NFL draft is a better decision for him after already being drafted in the 1st round of MLB if that's where they believe he's going? Prepare to laugh when the next report we read says that he recieved a 1st round grade from the draft advisory board and prepare to laugh again when it happens

I can picture him fumbling 99.9 % of his snaps...Alex Smith had little hands, but this dude's hands aren't even half the size of Smith's

He didn't fumble much in college, don't see it being an issue all of a sudden. In spite of those tiny hands he can really sling the ball. If he was 4-5 inches taller he'd likely be the 1st pick overall.

LOL Want to make a large wager on this? There isnt a chance in hell that Murray is drafted in the first nor will his football bonus be anywhere near his baseball signing bonus.

NFL execs are already saying "Thursday or Friday" so he absolutely has a chance at the first round.

Baker Mayfield came in at over 6'. Kyler would like to say hello back to him, if someone would give him a leg up.
