3 Reasons Arizona Cardinals should lean towards Nick Bosa with No. 1 pick
By Dan Parzych
The Arizona Cardinals face a difficult decision with the top overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft when it comes to deciding whether Nick Bosa deserves to go No. 1.
While most of the speculation surrounding the Arizona Cardinals over the last couple of weeks has the team using the No. 1 pick on Kyler Murray, football fans were reminded this week that nothing is set in stone at the moment after dining with Ohio State’s Nick Bosa in Florida.
As frustrating as it was to watch the Cardinals finish at the bottom of the NFL last season, the good news for Arizona is it helped land them the top overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, meaning the team can select any player they prefer.
Over the last couple of years, Bosa was always considered a top prospect on defense for whenever the time came to make the leap to the NFL. And while the temptation to go with Murray will be there to replace Josh Rosen, the Cardinals are also smart enough to know that Bosa is a one of a kind player that can make a serious impact on the defensive side of the football.
Only time will tell when it comes to seeing which player Arizona ends up going with at No. 1 since the team can only go up from here after finishing dead last in the standings during the 2018 season while missing out on the playoffs for a third year in a row.
To help honor the Cardinals dining with Bosa on Friday, here are three reasons why Arizona may lean towards going with the Buckeyes standout with the top overall pick instead of Murray at quarterback.
