If your 1st paragraph is accurate, then it would be the absolute worst decision in Cardinal history to pass on Murray. Part of the reason that the Cardinal organization has been historically inept is because they are routinely gutless. We settle for safe picks & teams jump us to grab guys we’re interested in. If we don’t take Murray, I’ll go to my grave knowing that I was sadly correct.
I don't agree. This is a master move for this franchise if my suspicion is correct. To even enlist a player in this is genius.
I love Murray. I think all the doubters are totally wrong. I think they are literally basing the majority of their anti-Murray opinion based solely on his height.
But the vision the Cardinals have here is solid. The problem with the NFL is there is NEVER a sure thing. But teams can take calculated risks, and trading down is a calculated risk because you may miss out on a generational talent.
The Cards did their due diligence on Bosa. They want to see if they feel he can be a transformational talent. His red flags are big in my book, bigger than Murrays. If I'm drafting a guy top five, I'm avoiding injury histories.
What I think the Cardinals see is that the top ten players are all relatively in the same class. Bosa/William's arent a ton better than Oliver. White is a hell of a good LB, IMO best one to come out in years. Jawan Taylor is a really good RT that probably can play left. Why not take one of these guys AND add someone like Noah Fant later in round one? That gives more to work with.
