Cardinals Take Kyle Murray First Overall
Whenever you take any player first overall in any draft it will automatically be the biggest story in that draft. This pick has more controversy and back story to it than the average picks. Last year the Cardinals took Josh Rosen with the 10th overall pick, with the idea being that he'll be quarterback of the future. With Murray being taken first overall it sent the message to Rosen and the league that the Cardinals are going to look towards moving on from him. The reported teams interested in Rosens are the Dolphins, Giants (who currently have 2 quarterbacks they believe in on the roster), and the Chargers. All of these teams are only interested in him for only being a backup, meaning they'll never truly get the value they were hoping for. Murray is going to be given the keys to this franchise and given the opportunity to prove himself.
Oakland Raiders Take A Player Way Too High
The Raiders had selected Clelin Ferrell at 4th overall, the NFL mock draft had him going 21st overall and Bucky Brooks had him going 17th overall. The Raiders took this player way too high, especially considering that Josh Allen was still there. Allen is considered to be one of the best players in this draft and instead of picking him, the Raiders went against everyone's opinion and drafted Ferrell. Oakland has to hope Jon Gruden knows what he's doing.
New York Giants Take Daniel Jones
Every single New York Giant fan lost their mind tonight when the Giants passed on Josh Allen and Dwayne Haskins and took Daniel Jones. Jones was drafted because of his high praise from the Mannings. Haskins was by far the best qb left and Allen is the best defender in the draft, but the Giants decided to go against conventional wisdom. Jones will have a lot on his plate to prove to Giant fans that he is the quarterback they want to lead them to the future, Eli Manning has confirmed he is fine with the Giants pick and is willing to do whatever is best for the team.
Dwayne Haskins Drops To 15th
Haskins should have been the second quarterback taken in the draft and by every experts opinion he's the 2nd best quarterback in this years draft. Haskins now has a chip on his shoulder and is ready to prove to the Giants for years to come that they made the wrong decision. The Giants worst nightmare came to truth tonight when Haskins was drafted in the same division as them. Haskins even said "The league done messed up."
Steelers Trade Up To Get A Defensive Player
The Steelers traded their 20th, 50th and a 2020 third round pick to the Broncos for the 10th overall pick. With this pick they got Devin Bush, linebacker out of Michigan. The Steelers has had a huge problem on defense and it has often been their Achilles heel to their great offensive teams. Stephen A. Smith tweeted that he loved that the Steelers had moved up tonight to get Bush. He is going to be a great player for the Steelers and is going to be a great addition to their defense.
