Murphy was pointing out that at 22 you do not have to start the QB right away. He will get to sit for a while. And Lynch should be there at 22 due to not being ready to start now.
Collins is only the 2nd or 3rd RB in SEC history to have three 1000 yd seasons. Below the radar for that stat alone.
Fuller is averaging 20 plus yards per catch. He can run under deep balls that most guys cannot get to. (I don't see him lasting until the 3rd round). Murphy points out that Fuller would be the first true deep guy the team has had. (AJ was most effective in the 15 to 20 yd range). Murphy said Fuller is not a number one, but he is an excellent complimentary guy to Hopkins.
And lastly Wright might drop due to little game tape from this year. And with Cush and McKinney he would not have to start and would have time to digest RAC's defense.
If the draft fell this way I would be very happy.

Ya, I believe I heard this on the radio Saturday afternoon.
As far as the two Razorback RB's (Collins & Williams) go, they're both beefy power guys which would be a change from what Foster brought to the running game. Collins, I think, would be more Emmitt Smith-like than say Trent Richardson-like. Quite a gap there of course and he's probably in the middle somewhere but I do expect him to be successful in the NFL. Williams' style reminds me of one of his predecessors at Arkansas, Knile Davis (of KC). Either one, IMO, would bring more excitement to the running game than Blue/Grimes/Polk/Hilliard (Hunt not included).
Scooby Wright would be a nice catch - a player you can't help but notice when he plays. I think he could be an A+ special teams player while transitioning to the NFL....
