NFL rumors: Kyler Murray, Cardinals holding private meeting in Oklahoma

Share

Start the speculation. Kyler Murray might not make as much money as Mike Trout, but he very well could be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. 

The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback is meeting privately with the Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday at the University of Oklahoma, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reported.

Arizona holds the top pick in the draft. Coach Kliff Kingbury and general manager Steve Keim reportedly both will be at the meeting. 

While the Raiders came away impressed with Murray at his pro day, the Cardinals were nowhere to be found. Clearly, that didn't matter.

Kingsbury said two weeks ago that the Cardinals hadn't decided on who the team will pick at No. 1. In NFL circles, however, nobody truly believed those words. Once Murray measured over 5-foot-10 at the combine, it became "almost universally" believed the QB was bound for the desert.

Murray coming off the board would open the door for the 49ers to select edge rusher Nick Bosa. Though San Francisco traded for defensive end Dee Ford, Bosa still likely will be the team's top target in the draft.
