At pick 136, Murray is a favorite late-round quarterback target with top-10 upside. Pair him late with Baker Mayfield as insurance.
STACKED’s take
Murray's scheme fit and weapons give him top-10 upside at pick 136.
Murray landing in Minnesota might be the best thing that's happened to his fantasy value. His career 17-game pace is 624 rushing yards, and Kevin O'Connell's scheme is built to maximize a mobile quarterback with easy, well-schemed throws. He walks into the best group of pass catchers of his career in Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson, behind an offensive line that ranked seventh in pass protection, a sizable upgrade from Arizona. Sam Darnold threw for 4,300 yards and 35 touchdowns in this same system in 2024, and by the underlying numbers, Murray profiles as an upgrade on Darnold. Murray's durability is a concern, as he's missed 19 games in three seasons, though a single ACL injury accounts for absences in two of those seasons rather than two unrelated injuries. At pick 136, Murray is a favorite late-round quarterback target with top-10 upside.
