It might seem like the height of new-age lunacy to consider drafting Kyler Murray one year after taking Josh Rosen, but there’s a pretty good example of where it worked out in the past.
In 1989, Jimmy Johnson and the Dallas Cowboys took Steve Walsh immediately after selecting Troy Aikman.
“I think it’s a fantastic precedent,” longtime NFL analyst Peter King said. “And it’s funny because it’s 30 years later … and it’s the first time since then that this has happened.”
This example forms the spine of the argument in favor of drafting Murray and keeping Rosen on the roster heading into training camp.
