Has anyone gone off the board with the 1st pick before? Outside the top 10? No.
Ryan Murray would not in any way have been an "off the board" pick at #1. There was ongoing discussion leading up to the draft about which of the two players would be selected first, with most believing it would be Yakupov. But Murray was not that far behind him.
