Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray announced on Twitter that he has declared for the 2019 NFL Draft. Murray spent the past weekend negotiating with the Oakland A’s Cheap Customized San Francisco 49ers Jerseys , who selected him in the first round of the 2018 MLB Draft, but for the time being they have not come to terms on a new deal.Baseball could remain an option if Murray decides to go back to it, and declaring for the draft does not foreclose it. However, if he thinks he can be a first round pick in April, I would be surprised if he went back to baseball. The A’s are scheduled to report to spring training on February 15th, and the NFL Combine gets going on February 26th. That’s not a drop-dead point, but it does provide the A’s and Murray with one more month to discuss options if either side is so inclined.If we assume Murray is full-go for the NFL, this could shake up the first round. He’s short for a quarterback, listed at just under 5’10, and that is something teams will pick apart relentlessly between now and the draft. He brings incredible athleticism Nick Mullens Jersey , rushing for 1,001 yards and throwing for another 4,361 while completing 69 percent of his passes. Prior to the season he was a question mark as a prospect, and while he still faces plenty of questions, he also has a Heisman Trophy under his belt.Back in October, then Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury said he would take Murray with the No. 1 pick in the draft if he could. He’s now head coach of the Arizona Cardinals. I don’t think Steve Keim will be held to that, but it does make for plenty of speculation between now and late April.Even if Arizona is not going to actually trade Josh Rosen and draft Kyler Murray, other teams now have another option to consider as they look for their quarterbacks of the future. Dwayne Haskins was viewed by many as the best quarterback in this class. That could still be the case, but Murray will have some teams pausing and considering their options. Maybe they’re more inclined to move up to grab one of them, or maybe teams are more comfortable letting the talent fall a bit rather than giving up a ton of assets.For now Nick Mullens 49ers Jersey , the Cardinals and 49ers sit atop the draft board waiting to see who might be prepared to come to them with a Godfather offer. Heading into the 2017 NFL Draft, analysts raved over the tight end class as being one of the best in recent memory. The common names that were tossed out were Alabama’s O.J. Howard, Ole Miss’ Evan Engram, Miami’s David Njoku, Virginia Tech’s Bucky Hodges and Michigan’s Jake Butt.Yet, the ninth tight end that was selected during draft weekend looks to become the best of his class. Iowa’s TE George Kittle was selected 146th in 2017, but looks to one of the 49ers’ best draft picks in the John Lynch-Kyle Shanahan era.A year and a half into his short career, Kittle’s already distanced himself from his draft peers and is putting himself in a class with the best tight ends in the league. After his dynamic, one-handed catch and run for 71 yards against the Raiders on Thursday Night Football, the national audience began to wonder where Kittle ranks among the league’s elite. In terms of pass-catching and run-blocking Quarterback Nick Mullens Jersey , there’s only one player better at this position and that’s Kansas City TE Travis Kelce. Outside of Missouri, Kittle is the best all-around tight end in the NFL. Among tight ends who have at least 20 catches, Kittle is tied with Tampa Bay’s O.J. Howard in averaging 16.9 yards per catch. The 49ers’ second-year tight end is third in catches (41), just trailing Kelce (51) and Eagles’ Zach Ertz (61). Despite having 20 fewer grabs than Ertz, Kittle still leads him in overall receiving yards (692). The former Iowa product also has the longest play from scrimmage, an 82-yard touchdown run against the Chargers a few weeks back. Kittle also has 31 catches for first downs and his first-down rate of 76% leads the league for any tight end with 25 catches on the season. Kittle’s ball security has also been exemplary, as he hasn’t put the ball on the ground yet this season, despite catching a lot of passes right around defenders. Here’s the kicker: Kelce has been playing all season long with MVP candidate QB Patrick Mahomes and Ertz has been catching passes for a majority of the season from QB Carson Wentz. After the first few weeks, Kittle has been in a run-happy offense led by the likes of QBs C.J. Beathard and Nick Mullens. Imagine what the ex-Iowa tight end would be doing if he had been playing with QB Jimmy Garoppolo this entire time. Once again, that’s only half of it. Kittle’s run-blocking has been outstanding Nick Mullens Jersey , so he’s not just a bigger wide receiver, but he can also line up inside and be a three-down tight end for any team in the league.Per Pro Football Focus, Kittle is the third-ranked tight end with a grade of 88.1. His run-blocking grade is third among all tight ends in the league, so the 49ers are getting one of the best pass-catching and run-blocking tight ends in one package. It doesn’t hurt that he leads the league with 2.70 yards per route run, either.The sky is the limit for the second-year player and with Garoppolo’s eventual return in 2019, Kittle’s numbers should only grow as he becomes an even better player. The 49ers struck gold with this pick in the fifth round and Kyle Shanahan couldn’t have asked for a better tight end in his offense.
