The NFL draft is almost here which means it’s time for the anonymous sources to come of the woodwork to bash the NFL’s elite prospects.
Today NFL Network analyst Charley Casserly says that he spoke to several teams and that they were left unimpressed by Kyler Murray’s leadership skills coming out of the combine.

Teams were reportedly “not impressed” with Murray’s “study habits”, “board work” and “understanding of football concepts”.

There’s a lot of back and forth between media members on whether the reports of the Cardinals having already decided to draft Murray #1 overall are true or not.
Kyler Murray will be the No. 1 overall pick and Josh Rosen will likely be traded before free agency starts. The streets is talking and Washington is the likely landing spot for Rosen.

.@RobertKlemko tells @radiojody "I'm 99% sure it's not a done deal. That report that Kingsbury is saying it's (Kyler Murray to #AZCardinals) a done deal is a little bit dubious to me."

Murray is definitely a first round pick but we’ll see if the Cardinals eventually draft him #1 overall.
Update: Apparently Murray “interviewed” well with the Arizona Cardinals.
I did hear Kyler Murray was impressive in the #AZCardinals interview… https://t.co/YWZnjlEWgW
