Landing the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft is not something that happens very often, so when you do find yourself in that situation, you better get the pick right.

The Arizona Cardinals were that team this year, and with the first overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, they took University of Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray, a selection that was expected for a couple of months now.

While Murray is coming off of a terrific junior campaign and is a dynamic athlete, there are some who question just how good he can be as a professional.

The Cardinals have also really put their necks out there for Murray, as they then traded their first-round pick of a year ago, fellow signal-caller Josh Rosen, to make room for Murray.

However, none of that seems to scare Cardinals general manager Steve Keim, who isn't afraid of taking risks:

“I’m not scared to make a mistake,” said Keim, according to Peter King of NBC Sports. “That could cost me my career but at the same time, to be great and to have success you gotta be willing to take chances—ones that you believe in.”

Keim also mentioned why he ultimately became set on Murray at No. 1:

“When I closed my eyes and I visualized Kyler Murray running around State Farm Stadium in red and white, for whatever reason, all I saw was just fireworks, excitement, a must-see [environment] where fans have to go and show up and see this thing,” said Keim. “Him being the architect was a phenomenal fit for me.”

Well, Arizona has been one of the least successful franchises in the NFL over the last few decades, so hopefully for the Cards' sake, Keim is right about this one.
