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.

I like Murray, but I don't believe there's anyway he drops 4 rounds because of an ACL.
More likely that he falls a round, 2 tops.
And I haven't seen what Reid had to say about Murray's influence in drafting Conley, but I'd guess it would have more to do with Murray's opinion on his character and work ethic than anything to do with their rapport.
