2019 NFL Mock Draft: Cardinals trade Josh Rosen to Redskins and take Kyler Murray, Giants grab falling QB
I just spent roughly 24 hours watching NFL combine coverage over the weekend, and it has me a little more jacked up for my mock draft than usual. So for Version 3.0, we’re going to try something a bit different.
There was a lot of talk over the weekend about what the Arizona Cardinals will do with the No. 1 pick. Will they hold on to Josh Rosen and fill another need, or could they trade Rosen and pair Kyler Murray with Kliff Kingsbury as they look to revamp the offense? Maybe they keep Rosen and draft Murray anyway, who knows? The only thing any of us should realize is that the Cardinals gain absolutely nothing by letting the world know their plans. If they let it slip they want Murray, it will depress Rosen’s trade value. If they say they’re committed to Rosen, they eliminate the possibility of a QB-needy team offering them a king’s ransom for the top pick.
For this version of my mock draft, however, we’re going to draft in a universe where the Cardinals have traded Josh Rosen to Washington and received its first-round pick as part of the deal. So not only do the Cardinals take Murray with the No. 1 pick, but they get another first rounder as well.
And that’s not the only trade in this week’s mock. Let’s get drafting.
