If the Jags draft Murray, it will create more of a buzz than any draft choice in Jag history.

The guy is lightning, freakish fast with a huge arm. Yes, he is small. But if the Jags take him, it will create more buzz than
any Jag pick that comes to mind. It will also put Jags higher in media coverage for a while. 

Plus, what do they have to lose? What QB is clearly a franchise QB this draft class? No one. Haskins is not. He has question marks as well. 

I believe the Jags will regret not taking Murray, big time. He might be more exciting than Mike Vick was, maybe with a higher upside.

I like Murray but the Jags aren’t going to draft him for the reasons you listed. NFL front offices don’t get paid to put fans in the seats and create media buzz. Their job is to draft the best players they can to hopefully win a SB. If that happens to be Kyler, the so be it. But leave the buzz to the marketing team. Normally such a call would come from a team’s owner but Khan is a much of a hands off owner as you can get. To the point where he hired TC to handle the day to day football operations. Let’s snip this in the bud right here so this doesn’t reach the Tim Tebow levels of absurdity.
