Joel Klatt Thinks the Cardinals Should Take Kyler Murray #1 Overall

February 26, 2019 By AM 1530

Kyler Murray is unquestionably this year’s NFL Draft wild card, with scouts split between those that think his 5,9”-ish height won’t work in the NFL, and those that think his accuracy, arm strength and speed make him a dangerous weapon in today’s league.
