The Arizona Cardinals had long been anticipated to make Murray the top selection after he opted to forego an MLB career to play in the NFL back in February.
They did so on Thursday as Murray heard his name called first in Nashville.
As a result, Murray became the first player to be taken in the opening round of both the NFL and MLB drafts, as well as the second successive top pick from Oklahoma.
And it was Cleveland Browns star Mayfield who led the tributes to Murray.
