I've written pretty much the same in multiple threads now:
First Round be aggressive go after:
1. Murray (at this point, I would be shocked if he chose baseball, think he's just waiting on those evaluations before he'll tell the world he's declaring) - This kid is absolutely legit he is a franchise changer, sell the farm for him. He was the best QB in college football this year, crazy stats both with arm and legs, bettered Mayfield's numbers from last year. His size will be a concern, but if you watch him play you'll see it really shouldn't.
2. Haskins - Has everything you look for in a QB, early in the year he announced that he was declaring, most folks including me thought that was too early, and that he needed another year. Suffered a bad loss at Purdue, but then the Maryland game happened, he put his team on his back and accounted for 6 tds !, The next game was against the #3 Wolverines, one of the best D's in college football, he destroyed them with 7tds, then the Big 10 Champ games rolls along, another 6 TDs. He's broken all QB records in the big 10. The kid is ready, hope he sticks with his original decision to declare, there is doubt now. But I would again be ultra aggressive to get him.
3. Herbert - Not as high on him as the other two, but he's going to be a star, has everything you want but I think he'll stay in school, which is absolutely the wrong thing for him to do.
4. Lock - He's got first round talent, some knocks on him, others aren't very high, notably Slimm who "doesn't trust him", there are questions on his focus, he may not hate to lose enough. But I watched a lot of him down the stretch last year and he was hugely impressive, he's very mobile and has a huge arm. Threw for more yards and TDs in the SEC than Manning. I would take him if he is there at our spot in the first.
5. Grier - Solid 2nd round pick, he's probably not got the arm that you look for but he competes and his stats were off the charts last year.
6. Minshew - Watched a lot of him all year, he came from the same program as Falk (air raid Washington State), he tore it up and outplayed Herbert in their match up with Oregon. Great character, was going into coaching but changed paths to graduate transfer and give starting a final chance at Wazzu. His stats for the year are crazy and the kid can play but he is very much a one year wonder, maybe a product of the air raid scheme there and had a awful outing in his last game against Washington (in terrible weather) that preventing them going to the Pac12 champ game. I would take a flyer though on him in later rounds.
the Rest. Stick, Finley, Jones, Thorsen - Haven't seen enough of any them to make a judgement.
I wuld suggest everyone pays close attention to the bowl season games, there are some great match ups and this is a great chance to see some of these kids compete.
