Yeah, as a pure prospect I think I agree with you. But I have a year of Murray in the NFL and he looked, at times, incredibly good. Like, future MVP candidate caliber good.
Having actually seen Murray perform at an elite level in the NFL, I have a hard time saying I'd deal him for a prospect of any stripe.
But I certainly wouldn't argue with anyone that would be willing to do so - Lawrence is as good a 'pure' quarterback prospect as you'll see. The only question is whether or not some of those traditional traits are simply becoming unnecessary at this level given the rise of the spread offenses. If new offenses offset some of the refinement and size advantages that Lawrence has over Murray, then Murray's premier athleticism can put him ahead of Lawrence.
