When it comes to Murray, this is not being talked about enough. He was able to convince the Oakland A's enough of his commitment to baseball that they spent the 9th overall pick in the draft on him.

If he now chooses to play football, can we really trust any assurances he gives the team? What's to keep him from changing his mind?

If he plays in the NFL, then the Oakland A's would have wasted an incredibly valuable pick on him and get nothing back in return. And if he's drafted by the Redskins but then later changes his mind, then we could have wasted our 1st round pick (or more, if we moved up to get him) on him and get nothing back in return.

There is NOTHING about Kyler Murray as a player that makes me think he's a "sure thing" to be worth of what it would cost to draft him. But when you add the "commitment" issues into the mix, he's just far too risky. There are some teams in the NFL that are positioned to take that kind of risk. We aren't one of them. Due to the Smith injury and cap hit, we don't have the luxury of swinging for the fences with our top draft picks and hoping for the best. We strong, safe picks.
