NFL Rumors: Kyle Murray Expected To Go No.1 In 2019 NFL Draft, Josh Rosen Trade Looking More Likely

Rumors have been swirling for weeks that the Arizona Cardinals will draft Kyrler Murray with the No.1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft and subsequently trade Josh Rosen. That speculation will only increase with the news that the Heisman Trophy winner is set to meet with the team that owns the top selection in the first round.

According to The Houston Chronicle’s Aaron Wilson, Murray is meeting with new Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury and Arizona general manager Steve Keim in Oklahoma Tuesday.

Before being hired by Arizona, Kingsbury said he believed Murray should be the first pick in the draft.

If the Cardinals pick Murray, it will almost certainly spell the end of Rosen’s time with the team. Arizona traded up from No.15 overall to take the quarterback with the 10th pick in the 2018 draft.

Rosen had a disappointing rookie campaign, completing 55.2 percent of his passes for 11 touchdowns, 14 interceptions and 162.7 yards per game. The UCLA product went 3-10 as a starter with the worst offense in the NFL.

Murray completed 69 percent of his passes for 4,361 yards, 42 touchdowns and seven interceptions at Oklahoma. He also ran for 1,001 yards and 12 touchdowns on 140 attempts.

Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins is considered by many to be the top quarterback prospect in the draft, but Arizona’s interest in Murray has made him an overwhelming odds-on favorite to be taken with the first pick in the draft.

The New York Giants and Washington Redskins have been speculated as possible landing spots for Rosen.
