No matter your opinion on Kyler Murray, it’s hard to say the Arizona Cardinals didn’t leave the most recent draft as clear-winners. Instead of drafting for need only, the duo of Kliff Kingsbury and Steve Keim stuck to their big-board and drafted the best player available in nearly every round.
The result of their 11 draft picks is a truly awe-inspiring rookie class. Though the Cardinals didn’t target offensive line as much as their fans and perhaps Murray would’ve liked, they acquired multiple day-one starters and several pro-ready players that are expected to contribute from the get-go.
Out of the Cardinals 11 picks, eight were compared to Pro-Bowl players, while others were even compared to Hall of Famers or potential Hall of Famers.
