Report: Cardinals field trade offers, to meet about No.1 pick
The Arizona Cardinals still haven't tipped their hand as to how they'll use the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft on Thursday, and teams continue to inquire about a trade, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Monday.
He also said general manager Steve Keim, coach Kliff Kingsbury and owner Michael Bidwill have a final meeting scheduled to make a decision.
The assumption is Cardinals will draft Kyler Murray, who won the Heisman Trophy and led Oklahoma to the College Football Playoff in 2018. Reports over the weekend surfaced that the Cardinals plan to keep Josh Rosen at quarterback and draft a difference-maker on defense.
CBS Sports columnist Pete Prisco reported that Bidwill wanted the team to take Murray, but that has changed.
"Initially, the ownership pushed for Kyler Murray," he said. "They were having a hard time selling tickets. They put it out there, Arizona was lukewarm to it, so now all of a sudden they're pulling back and, from what I have been told, they're going to go in a different direction.
"They're not going to draft Kyler Murray."
Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said the team was undecided last week during a pre-draft news conference.
"We are not done with this process," Keim told reporters last Tuesday. "There are a number of players in my opinion and our scouts' opinions and our coaching staff's opinion that warrant being the first overall selection."
