It is reportedly looking more and more like the Arizona Cardinals will use the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft to select Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray.

According to NFL Network’s Kimberly Jones on Saturday, those around the league strongly believe Murray is destined to be a Cardinal: “In terms of Murray, people are beginning to believe almost universally he will indeed be the No. 1 pick in this draft by the Arizona Cardinals. In fact, teams picking in the top 10 believe they’ll have no chance of drafting Murray. He’s not the biggest quarterback in the world, but he is a very big presence at this combine.”

Arizona selected quarterback Josh Rosen with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft out of UCLA, but with the Cardinals firing former head coach Steve Wilks and hiring offensive guru Kliff Kingsbury as his replacement, there is no guarantee that Rosen is still coveted by the new regime.
