NFL Mock Draft 2019: Raiders, Packers have new needs after free agency
By Cory Kinnan
Do not buy the Kyler Murray hype. It would be an utter dumpster fire in Arizona if general manager Steve Keim were to take a quarterback with the first overall pick in a year with so much elite defensive talent, especially considering they not only picked Josh Rosen just a year ago, but traded up into the top 10 to get him.

Any general manager who throws away two second round picks to move to take a quarterback to scrap him a year later deserves to be fired. That is why there is plenty of evidence that all of Arizona’s infatuation with Murray is one big smokescreen. Instead they take Nick Bosa from Ohio State with the first overall pick.
If you were a fan of Bosa going into the combine, his performance did not change your mind. If you thought Bosa was overrated heading into the combine, he also did not do anything to change your mind.
However, Bosa is an elite talent that has the potential to wreck opposing quarterbacks for a decade. Snagging him ahead of Quinnen Williams and Josh Allen, the Cardinals select the Ohio State pass rusher with the first overall pick.
