I saw the Rams took a running back. What's that say about Gurley?

Round 1
Pick 1

Arizona Cardinals – QB Kyler Murray, Oklahoma

Arizona nails the first overall pick, selecting PFF’s No. 1 overall player in the 2019 class. Murray is a game-changer, far and away the best signal-caller and best overall player in the 2019 NFL Draft.

    • Highest overall grade in the 2019 quarterback class in 2018
    • Highest passing grade in the 2019 quarterback class in 2018
    • Second-highest passer rating under pressure in the quarterback class in 2018
    • Highest passer rating from a clean pocket in the quarterback class in 2018

Pick 33

Arizona Cardinals – CB Byron Murphy, Washington

After a full night to mull over trading the 33rd overall pick, the Cardinals’ brass decided to stay put and take the highest-ranked player still on our big board and our No. 6 overall player in Washington CB Byron Murphy. He is a local Arizona product and represents the Cardinals’ biggest investment at the cornerback position since Patrick Peterson.

  • Highest overall graded corner in the draft class
  • Highest coverage grade in the draft class, regardless of position
  • Tied for 3rd in class with 13 pass breakups last season
  • 20th in passer rating allowed


Arizona Cardinals – WR Andy Isabella, Massachusetts

After selecting Kyler Murray No. 1 overall, the Cardinals decided to move on from second-year QB Josh Rosen by shipping him to Miami for the No. 62 pick and took UMass WR Andy Isabella. Andy Isabella is a wide receiver prospect that we felt was a first-round prospect. He is a speed player who instantly adds a weapon for the Cardinals new QB and offensive system.

  • 1st YPRR among WR 4.15
  • 1st explosive plays among WR (39)
  • 1st overall grade by WR in PFF era
  • 1st receiving grade among WR


Pick 65

Arizona Cardinals – Edge Zach Allen, Boston College

The Cardinals add to their pass-rush with the addition of Zach Allen. The Cardinals’ defensive coordinator Vance Joseph can now get creative with his usage of Terrell Suggs, Chandler Jones, Brooks Reed, and Zach Allen on obvious passing downs.

  • 4th overall grade among edge defenders.
  • 6th pass-rush grade among edge defenders.
  • Led FBS with 9 Batted Passes in 2018.


There's getting guys projected to be good, and then there's guys who graded out at or near the best (by their metrics fwiw).

I wonder if the Cardinals consider trading down.

They might be better to stay put and draft a WR like Hakeem Butler.
