Friend of mine asked what I thought the chances the Giants might take a flier on this guy at some point. My initial response - no chance.
Led me to wonder what the BBI opinions are about the kid. Haven't seen much mention of him. Obviously not a top prospect. What I've read says HUGE project, with poor mechanics but a gun. Kid is 6-7, 250.
Will he be drafted? What are the prospects for him? I read in one report maybe a late 5th or 6th rounder. If he doesn't get drafted at all, worth signing Sunday night?
He is a project in every sense of the word ... but he may have the most raw talent/"upside" in this draft.
i would consider him @ 95 ... his size/arm/mobility are a lot to work with.

i would absolutely take a shot on him, as soon as 95 depending on who's available.
He has physical attributes that, if developed, could make him quite the weapon at QB.
6'7 250 with a cannon and mobility? They don't come along often.
Hopefully Eli likes him.
Eli approved? - ( New Window )
about as well as 40% of 1st round QBs over a 25 year sample ... but yes, lets avoid Jackson because of a completely different player taken 5 drafts ago on a different team
A QB-needy team with 12 draft picks seems like a perfect place to me ...
UB was pretty bad before he got there. They instantly got better as soon as he became the starter.
He threw the ball long a ton. They were a run first offense especially late in the 2018 season. They left him a lot of third and longs which I think contributed to the low completion percentage. That said he also, it seemed to me he almost always threw deep if he had a deep receiver. There wasn't much if any checking down. …. And he had a ton of time to throw. It was about 5 games before they gave up a sack.
He moves surprisingly well for a guy his size. I wouldn't say he's great a avoiding the rush but he's definitely not bad at it.
I think the 'huge arm' reputation is a little too complimentary. I'd say his arm is strong enough for the nfl but not well above average.
I couldn't comment on mechanics very well as to what he's doing wrong, but from the pocket he seems to have a long wind up. Seems to me the ball should come out faster. He actually seems throw better outside the pocket.
He has tools no doubt but a lot to learn. I'm curious to see what he can do with nfl coaching

exciting prospect, but extremely raw. Not for us. Build the rest of the team, and work on the QB next year.

Jackson has some flaws but traits as well and he didn't have a private QB coach like many of the top guys in this draft. He watched YouTube videos for coaching. He won't turn 22 until November and every report I hear is that he's very smart and a great locker room guy.
We have five picks in rounds 4-5. If for some reason that's still that way on Saturday I would use one on him. If it doesn't work. It's a mid round pick. If it does we got a steal.
He looked like he was having fun at the combine.

Project for sure.
This is just wrong... lol.

The guy's arm is insane. I really don't know any other way to put it. He has a Howitzer. While the throws were from a short distance, Steve Smith had to tell Jackson to dial it back during the gauntlet drill for WRs because he was throwing the ball too hard.
I would not be opposed to a 3rd round trade up, following 2 defensive players and Risner
This guy flat out has the capability of making plays some other QBs can’t even think of trying ... that’s a guy you take a flyer on
Watch Oakland take him 4th ... overall.
I would absolutely trade up in round 3 if he was still available ... I’ll start getting nervous as teams go on the clock in the late 2nd with old but quality QBs (GB, SD, NO) where he’d have a lot of time to sit/develop
Wilkins, Bush, Risner, Jackson - my dream top 4

Middle of the pack is another way to put it

Whom I keep saying is pretty much the same guy except I think this kid was Murray’s size in 9th grade.
Project for sure.
This is just wrong... lol.
Being sarcastic of course. Lol. And he’s much rawer than Murray but the size thing is probably spot on But to me Murray isn’t anywhere near the finished product a number one over all pick should be. That last guy was Luck. I don’t think he’s going to be any more successful that RG3 was.

No way, he is on another planet passing the ball compared to RG3. If Murray was even 2 inches taller and another 10 pounds I am guessing he is considered by every team as the consensus #1 on any team's board. His only knock is height/weight. Which is still possibly a big knock... lol. Hey it's obviously just my dopey fan opinion, and I certainly could be wrong but I think Murray is the best QB to come out in a long time. I think he is going to have a great career.

In a long time? We seem To hear that every year. Size and durability are questions for sure but no one knows how he will adjust to NFL defenses.(that goes for a lot of QBs to be fair) One year playing In the defenseless big 12 adds another question for me. I’m not a fan of gimmick offenses and more Than a few pretty smart NFL people think he will need a tailor made O to really succeed. It’s a crap shoot with few sure things every year He may be as good as think he will be. We will find out sooner than later.

Sure I hear ya. The game that sold me on him was the Alabama game. He was facing ridiculous pressure and his team was not helping him that day. Bama rattled him and bottled him up in the 1st half, he got decked on a cheap shot from Q Williams but he kept coming and single-handedly kept them in that game. I'm totally 100% sold on Murray... lol
