There has been plenty of speculation regarding what the Arizona Cardinals plan to do with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. It seems head coach Kliff Kingsbury has had to make sure quarterback Josh Rosen is not may too much attention to the rumors.
Multiple reports have been flying about Arizona's plans to select a quarterback with their first pick. According to Darren Urban of the team's official website, Kingsbury had some words of advice for Rosen regarding all the speculation:
Lots of misperception that Rosen doesn’t fit my system. Has talked to Rosen, reminding him that with first pick there is always “tons of chatter.” Whether you are coach or QB in this league, “have to have thick skin.”
There is certainly plenty of truth to Kingsbury's comments. All eyes are always fixated on what team's plan to do with the first overall pick in the draft. Last year, it was centered on which of the bevy of quarterbacks the Cleveland Browns were set to pick from.
Unlike last year's draft, the top quarterback prospect for Arizona is a bit more clear-cut. There are a number of early mock drafts have the Cardinals pulling the trigger on selecting quarterback Kyler Murray.
Many believe Murray's versatility as both a runner and a passer makes him a far better fit for Kingsbury's offense than Rosen does.
Regardless, itis clear that Arizona may have quite the quarterback conundrum on their hands.
It will be interesting to see what they ultimately decide to do with the first pick.
