re: Can you envision the Saints being aggressive after Kyler Murray in draft?

While his talent is undeniable man this kid is 5 foot 9.

I'm with you here. Murray maybe the most intriguing QB prospect in NFL history. His physical tools are undeniable just like you said. He has a rocket for an arm. He has unbelievable speed & quickness. He is very accurate. He also shows the intangibles of work ethic & leadership.

His height will be a serious issue though. It shouldn't be an issue out of the pistol or shotgun formation but it definitely will be when he has to take snaps under center. There is no way Murray will be able to see above linemen, downfield on quick throws/3 step drops. The routes & steps in a drop back are all timing based. He may have issues on even 5 step drops because he may not be able to see the entire field until he hits his last step in his drop back.

This was never an issue at Oklahoma because he ran everything out of the pistol or shotgun but you better believe that will change in the NFL. If he can't take a snap from under center in 3 & 5 step drops, it eliminates a big chunk of an offense's playbook.
