A month away from the NFL Draft, most are projecting that the Cardinals will deal away Josh Rosen and take Oklahoma signal-caller Kyler Murray first overall. But Arizona has to know that it’s way more than one player away. Put Tom Brady on the Cardinals in September and the team would be lucky to win five games.
Arizona’s offensive line is a mess and whichever QB Kliff Kingsbury rolls with next year is in line to get killed unless the Cardinals bring in multiple talented linemen. And the easiest way to do that is to acquire more picks.
The Giants now have an extra pick to entice the Cardinals with in the form of the Odell Beckham Jr pick they got from Cleveland. Kingsbury told NFL Network this weekend that it’s entirely possible the Cardinals could go the trade route with the pick.
“When you have that first pick you’ve got to turn over every stone and look at every scenario that’s out there,” Kingsbury said. “So we’re definitely doing that.”
For what it’s worth, WFAA’s Mike Leslie (Dallas) reported that during Oklahoma’s pro day earlier this month that the Giants were the team that showed the most interest in Murray.
