Rise from the Ashes III
Looking at the major sites it looks like the various pundits give the Cardinals a B...B- grade for the Murray pick. Saw as high as an A- and as low as a C- but most were in the B/B- range.
Not that draft grades from writers mean a whole lot but the Cardinals' pick seems to be of the solid but not spectacular opinion. A lot of boom or bust talk.
Which I'm not sure of the better approach at #1 overall. I'm leaning toward thinking that you mainly just don't want to screw it up so risking a bust when solid, immediate production is available seems too risky. I mean, you hope for an obvious Andrew Luck staring you in the face but in this draft, I didn't see an obvious #1 overall pick.
I also didn't see QB as a "need" or good timing.
