Kyler Murray drafted #9 in MLB Draft

[aujeff11 6,243]

We pretty much dominated him when he was just a TF at A&M however he didn’t need to be in the game at all.  Pretty impressive though that he’s drafted #9 in baseball. He’s supposed to be the Oklahoma starting QB this year I believe, however he’s tiny and probably has a better career in baseball. Should be take the money and run?

ETA: Assigned value for the 9th pick is 4,761,500 dollars. That’s a lot of money he can give up.

Absolutely take baseball. Potential longer career and more than likely successful compared to professional football.

Said he's still committed to playing football in the fall and the As are ok with it. He's a 5'10 QB who is going to be good in college, but it will take a lot for him to make it in the pros with his height. I would've taken the $4.67M and headed straight to the baseball field. Hope he proves everyone wrong for his own sake if he chooses to pursue football long term.

As I understand it, he can sign with the A's, take the signing bonus, and still play QB this fall. The A's have to approve that (obviously), but I guess if you're hell bent on playing football at least one more year, go for it.

His future is in baseball though.

Wow. I guess he can possibly get the best of both worlds.

We'll see how much he loves football when he's constantly being compared to Baker Mayfield.
