Kyler Murray on Playing with Giants: I'd Love to Be in NY, but I Can't Choose

Kyler Murray has no problem with the New York Giants potentially selecting him in the first round of the 2019 NFL draft. 

Murray told reporters that an offense led by him, running back Saquon Barkley and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. would be "dangerous" before adding: "I'd love to be in New York, but I don't pick myself."

The Giants own the No. 6 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft, and they may be in the market for a quarterback since 38-year-old signal-caller Eli Manning is likely nearing the end of the line.

Despite getting selected in the first round of the 2018 MLB draft by the Oakland Athletics, Murray is fully committed to an NFL career after winning the Heisman Trophy last season at Oklahoma.

Murray put up huge numbers, as he completed 69.0 percent of his passes for 4,361 yards, 42 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also rushed for 1,001 yards and 12 touchdowns.

He measured in at a height of just 5'10⅛" at the NFL Scouting Combine this week, which may be the only thing that will cause teams to second guess taking him in the first round.

The Giants are set to pick first among teams with a clear need at quarterback in the 2019 draft, which means they could have their pick of the litter at the position unless a team trades in front of them. Other teams with a need under center include the Jacksonville Jaguars (No. 7), Denver Broncos (No. 10), Miami Dolphins (No. 13) and Washington Redskins (No. 15).

Things could be shaken up significantly if the Arizona Cardinals, who are picking first overall, decide to move on from Josh Rosen after just one season and take a quarterback with the first pick.

The G-Men have some big-time weapons on offense, but they ranked just 17th in total yardage and 16th in scoring last season.

Barkley provided a major spark to the New York offense, but with the immobile Manning playing behind a suspect offensive line, the passing game suffered at times. Murray would seemingly be a great fit in New York due to his ability to use his legs to get out of difficult situations.

On his latest big board, Bleacher Report's Matt Miller ranked Murray as the No. 14 overall player in the 2019 draft class and the No. 2 quarterback behind only Ohio State's Dwayne Haskins. In his most recent mock draft, Miller projected Murray to go No. 7 overall to the Jags, one pick after Haskins to the Giants.

The Giants seem like a definite possibility to take Murray, but with multiple teams needing a franchise quarterback, there are several suitors that will be keeping a close eye on him leading up to the draft.
