Makes absolutely perfect sense.

Murray isn't a 5th round project QB. Murray went in the 5th because of his ACL issues. Murray was a projected 1st or 2nd round QB before his ACL. Now KC has had some time to see him and gauge his long-term prognosis. Reid has shown that he can develop QB talent. I don't think it is the only reason Conley was drafted but Reid said that Murray was a reason they drafted Conley.
I've followed this team too long to be anything other than cynical. Nonetheless, this strikes me as an interesting plot development, so to speak. Maybe it won't pan out but I have a sneaking suspicion that this possibility was one factor that weighed in the decision to draft Conley.
