I think the biggest reason for that is Murray’s ability to play MLB, while also being that team captain leader type. Also, some like Murray’s ability to get after the QB took as an added bonus to his game.

I have Queen higher as well, but it’s close.

ESPN's mock draft experts just announced that the Chiefs are likely to take D'Andre Swift from Georgia at 32. What we got on this guy other than he's a RB?

No mention of a RB yet they had multiple JK Dobbins interviews

Some highlights, and lowlights from my draft guide...

“The most complete back in this draft, runs with the savvy of a veteran. Outstanding vision with the patience for allowing blocks to come. Body control and smooth hips allow him to stay in high gear when changing direction. Strings moves together and makes tacklers miss at the second level. Good initial burst, excellent balance through contact and enough speed to hit the homer in. Will be an immediate contributor in the passing game with natural hands, doesn’t lose anything transitioning from runner to receiver. Teams will be able to line him up in a variety spots. Will stick his nose in as a pass protector, where he is quick to recognize free blitzers.

-

“Doesn’t have the elite speed of other top backs, and doesn’t overpower defenders through contact. His workload was kept in check thanks to depth in Georgia’s backfield, and there are questions about what he can handle at the next level. He never had 200 carries in a single season.

After that there’s certainly talent, but guys like Jones and Cleveland will be overdrafted, not the other way around. This isn’t the WR class we’re talking about here. Positional value pushes everybody up, unlike WR.

Most people do not have a 1st round grade on Cleveland. Some have as low of a 3rd round grade. In other words, you’re way off here bud. Cleveland is absolutely not a top 32 player in this draft. That’s not just my opinion, it’s an overwhelming consensus.

Jones at 32 would actually be good/equal value, but you’re kidding yourself if you think he make it there. There’s absolutely no chance of that happening. I’m just saying they won’t take an OT at 32 if it’s BPA. I’m saying it 100% won’t be.

If either of those two were drafted in the top 15 in any draft, it wouldn’t be because they’re top 15 players. It would be a ridiculous reach. Just look at last years draft. Neither of these guys are anywhere near as good as Jonah Williams who went 11th.

Pound the table? No, definitely not. Be okay if that was the pick at 32? Yes.

Watch his 2018 tape. Kid is good in pass pro and continues to develop. He needs strength but his athleticism and technique are there. There's a chance he goes in 1. I don't have him there based on strength of the class overall and at his position but I think he'd easily be a guy that would go top-20ish in most classes.

I'd love to finally have a baller at linebacker. Both Dorsey and Beach have been subpar in their time here evaluating and adding talent at linebacker, both in the draft and FA.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire was his #1 and said it really wasn't close....Taylor was #2 and Swift was #5.

He said Swift wasn't very effective unless there were giant running lanes...

I dont really watch College football but that seems like a reasonable measuring stick...anyone can run for 15 yards if they arent touched.

Out of curiosity...I watched Helaire's highlights and he looked pretty amazing....that said, he's 209/Taylor is 226 and ran a 4.39... nearly .5 faster than Sammy Watkins.
