2012 Outlook: Solid/Safe Pick

Last updated on Aug-02-2012 by Ben Standig

In a single week 7 performance, Murray went from a backup to the Cowboys' single-game record holder with 253 rushing yards. The shifty back also effectively supplanted Felix Jones as the starter. That dynamic remains entering 2012 and Murray's explosive ability positions him as a low-end RB1. Durability and over usage remains concerning; Murray's dynamic ability does not.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	3.01	FFToolbox.com
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	2.08	DraftCalc.com - DeMarco Murray has top 12-14 overall upside, so even though he still feels a bit unproven, this isn't exactly a reach and it feels somewhat low-risk/high-reward. Calvin Johnson and DeMarco Murray is a fine start given we went WR with our first-round pick.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	2.07	FFToolbox.com (Matt) - Murray feels like a nice value in the middle of the second. Can't argue that his health is a concern though.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	1.10	KFFL.com - Boy, it doesn't seem smart to take RBs anymore. I guess there are safer choices, especially at other positions, but Murray's schedule and his performance in the second half of last season give me some confidence that he'll be one of the top scorers at the position.
