NFL.com's Gil Brandt ranks Georgia's Aaron Murray as the top senior QB.
Alabama's A.J. McCarron checked in at No. 2, with Tajh Boyd, Derek Carr of Fresno State and David Fales rounding out the top five. We would move Boyd and Fales higher on the list, but plenty can change in the next year in terms of evaluations for this quarterback class. May 13 - 2:32 PM

Aaron Murray - QB - Bulldogs

Georgia QB Aaron Murray explained that he intends to improve his "mobility, footwork within the pocket, and accuracy" during his senior season.

Murray announced on January 6 that he would stay in school for his senior season. When explaining why he returned, Murray pointed to his "opportunity to be a four-year starter" and "compete for some championships." Added Murray, "my heart told me I needed one more year to be back with my teammates and have some fun." Murray posted a 36:10 TD-to-INT ratio and career-best 64.5 completion rate as a junior. He has second-day talent, but probably is not first-round caliber.

Aaron Murray - QB - Bulldogs

Georgia junior QB Aaron Murray announced he is returning for his senior season.

"Not ready to leave just yet," Murray tweeted. "Time to get back to work and help lead this team to a championship." We think this is the right call, since Murray does not have an all star game to attend in the hopes of separating himself from the crowd of top two-round quarterbacks.

When asked on Twitter if he thinks junior QB Aaron Murray will return for his senior season, Bulldogs great David Pollack answered with, "I think so."

Murray appears to still be weighing his options, and with his father dealing with an illness, expect the junior to take his time. He received a second day projection from the Draft Advisory Board, and at times Murray looked better and worse than that evaluation.

Aaron Murray - QB - Bulldogs

Georgia junior QB Aaron Murray revealed on ESPN that he received a second- to third-round grade from the NFL Draft Advisory Board.

He added that he is still undecided on whether to leave for the NFL or return to Georgia for the 2013 season. We are somewhat surprised by the high evaluation, since these projections usually undersell prospects in order to not raise their expectations. Murray can shuffle in the pocket and hit downfield receivers, but his decisions become questionable when consistently facing pressure .

Aaron Murray - QB - Bulldogs

Georgia junior QB Aaron Murray completed 18-of-33 attempts for 427 yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions against Nebraska.

Murray was not as reliable as his numbers say, making errant throws and some poor decisions. However, Georgia was able to convert bug plays when they needed them. Murray remained noncommittal when asked about his future at Georgia, but we think it would be wise for him to return. He is in a good situation.

Aaron Murray - QB - Bulldogs

Georgia junior QB Aaron Murray threw for 215 yards and two touchdowns on 14-of-17 completions Saturday against Georgia Tech.

Murray's big contest likely comes next week against Alabama, a game all NFL evaluators will be watching closely. The junior has been rumored to be leaning towards declaring for the Draft, and although we don't think it is even close to a done deal, a consistent performance against the Crimson Tide could go a long way towards that decision.

Aaron Murray - QB - Bulldogs

Georgia junior QB Aaron Murray did not rule out the possibility of declaring for April's draft when asked about the decision Tuesday.

"I’m not worried about that until after the season and then I’ll sit down with my family and make the best decision for myself and my future," Murray said. "I’m having too much fun right now." A week ago, SI's Tony Pauline stated that Murray would likely enter the draft, which surprised us. At one point, the Bulldog was the most consistent top name quarterback in the junior class.

SI's Tony Pauline passes along word that the "chances are very likely" that Georgia junior QB Aaron Murray will enter the 2013 NFL Draft.

According to Pauline, "size is one of the knocks on Murray and he understands he won’t get much bigger (taller) over the next year." Up until a few weeks ago, Murray could have been considered the most consistent brand name junior quarterback, but he has tailed off recently.

Aaron Murray - QB - Bulldogs

Georgia junior QB Aaron Murray struggled mightily against the talented South Carolina defense, completing only 11-of-31 attempts for 109 passing yards and an interception.

The Gamecocks pass rush really dominated the Bulldogs offensive line, and Murray's production suffered because of it. Until this game, Murray had been the most consistent "top name" junior quarterback prospect, but he had difficulties working in a closing pocket and finding receivers downfield with proper placement.

Aaron Murray - QB - Bulldogs

Georgia junior QB Aaron Murray completed 19-of-25 attempts for 278 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Saturday's win over Tennessee.

Murray led the Bulldogs offense up and down the field, but he was certainly aided by an outstanding ground game. The junior quarterback is very good at shuffling in the pocket and resetting with a quick release to fit passes through tight windows. Some may question his height, but he is not afraid to test downfield.

Aaron Murray - QB - Bulldogs

Georgia junior QB Aaron Murray went 22-of-35 for 242 passing yards, including three touchdowns and one interception, during Saturday's win over Missouri.

Murray made a few questionable decisions, but behind a young offensive line he showed the same poise and willingness that has made him successful. Despite his shorter stature, Murray finds throwing lanes and appears to have found a reliable target in senior Tavarres King.

Aaron Murray - QB - Bulldogs

Georgia junior QB Aaron Murray completed 15-of-26 passes for 258 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's opener against Buffalo.

15 completions is certainly a low total for Murray, but the 9.9 yards per attempt is excellent. The signal caller was really on the same page with senior receiver Tavarres King and the unexpected success of the Bulldogs running game really helped Murray test downfield throws.

Aaron Murray - QB - Bulldogs

SI's Tony Pauline projects Georgia junior QB Aaron Murray as a sixth-round pick headed into the 2012 season.

Because of Murray's "limited physical skills for the next level," Pauline is cautious about grading him any higher. This is the lowest projection we have seen thus far for the experienced SEC quarterback. Pauline does praise Murray's toughness, intelligence, and feel for the position, but obviously does not see upside. We love Murray's grittiness and expect him to have another successful season, but it will be tough to outshine other draft-eligible quarterback prospects that offer better natural potential.

Aaron Murray - QB - Bulldogs

Georgia junior QB Aaron Murray displayed as much throwing range as any prospect at the Manning Passing Academy last week.

Murray stands about an inch shorter than his counterparts but uncorks a compact and quick release to generate plenty of velocity. Daniel Jeremiah attended the passing academy and called Murray's accuracy "excellent at all three levels," while being surprised at how powerfully he threw the deep ball. Jeremiah did mention that Murray appeared shorter than expected. We rank him behind Virginia Tech's Logan Thomas on the junior quarterbacks list.
