SHOULD CARDINALS TAKE KYLER MURRAY? YES PLEASE!

We are just days away from the 2019 NFL draft. The Arizona Cardinals have the first overall pick and the big question is what are they going to do with it?

The three main questions are, should they trade the pick? Should they draft Nick Bosa? Or should they take Kyler Murray? Well I have the answer to the last question. Should they take Kyler Murray?
The answer... yes please!

Here is why you take Kyler Murray with the first pick in the draft.

Murray already fits the Cardinals system. This past off season the Cardinals hired a new coach, Kliff Kingsbury, and will have a new-look offense this season. Murray fits very well with what the Cardinals want to do offensively and Kingsbury loves.  Kingsbury has been recruiting Murray for nearly six years now. And Thursday he may finally get the QB of his dreams.

.Another reason you take Murray is the Cardinals poor performance last season.  The fan base in Arizona always expects their Cardinals to have a good season.  After last season's poor performance they are wanting something to be done to prove that Arizona is a contender.  The Cardinals got rid of their coach after one season and getting rid of their quarterback after one season won't make a big difference especially if Kingsbury demanded to pick Murray before he was even hired.

The last reason the Arizona Cardinals should draft Murray is Steve Keim's job is on the line.  The General Manager is on the hot seat more this season than any other because the Cardinals have not produced on the field lately.  He needs a good draft to help save his job.  A pic like Murray may just be what Keim needs.

HEY CARDINALS KEEP JOSH ROSEN

The 2019 NFL Draft is this Thursday and the Arizona Cardinals will be selecting first.  Sports fans everywhere have there opinion of what they think the Cardinals will do.  The big question is do you pick Kyler Murray and start over with a new franchise qb after just one year?  Or do you pick Nick Bosa and add depth to an already above average defensive line?

Should the Cardinals give up on current QB Josh Rosen after just one season?

No.  Here is 3 reasons why you stick with Josh Rosen.

The first reason maybe the simplest.  He was the QB last year.  Rosen was not very productive last season, but show me someone that was.  He struggled along side a rookie head coach which makes me wonder if the Cardinals would have hired someone with experience would we even be having the Murray-Rosen debate?

The second reason you keep Rosen is taking Kyler is not much of an upgrade, if any.  All the reasons people have been saying to pick Murray has to do more with new head coach Kliff Kingsbury's offensive scheme then it does with Murray's talent.  Murray is more mobile than Rosen but how long does a mobile QB last in the NFL these days?  We are in a copycat league and one can say the Kingsbury's hire was to copy what the Rams are doing.  Well guess what?  Rosen is more like Goff than Murray is.

The most important reason you keep Rosen is his maturity.  This was a question coming in to his rookie season.  After the season ended it may have still been on people's minds but it was definitely not the concern it was at the beginning of the season.  Then the off-season came and for most it became "what if" we drafted Murray.  But for Rosen he used it as motivation.  He recently did an interview with Sports Illustrated that shows his maturity and passion for the game.

The Arizona Cardinals would benefit from sticking with the QB they traded up for in last year's draft.
