Projections don't matter. Murray was drafted in the 5th round, and is 3rd on the depth chart. That's a 5th round project QB, by definition. That said, I'm sure he did influence the Conley pick (as I recall there was even some discussion about that in some post-draft articles), but I would imagine it was more about confirming the guy was worth the slot than it was about using a high-mid pick on a guy to pair with the 3rd string QB. Unless they're trying to put together a really good scout team.
