If you were to ask me one week ago, I would have told you the Kyler Murray to Arizona talk was a total smokescreen.&nbsp; Now\u2026call me na\u00efve&#8230;but I\u2019m totally buying this.&nbsp; Sure, Arizona traded up in last year\u2019s draft to get their quarterback of the future in Josh Rosen\u2026but that was soooo last year.&nbsp; New Coach new quarterback.&nbsp; Simply put:&nbsp; Kyler\u2019s Kliff Kingbury\u2019s guy, and if we know anything about Kliff Kingsbury, it\u2019s that he picks the right partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"584\" height=\"584\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bigredsportsmachine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Kilff-Kingsbury-and-Holly-Sonders.jpg?resize=584%2C584&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3083\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bigredsportsmachine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Kilff-Kingsbury-and-Holly-Sonders.jpg?w=758&amp;ssl=1 758w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bigredsportsmachine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Kilff-Kingsbury-and-Holly-Sonders.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bigredsportsmachine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Kilff-Kingsbury-and-Holly-Sonders.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><figcaption>Good eye for talent.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>San Francisco should take about 1 second to get to the\npodium, as Nick Bosa is an absolute no brainer.&nbsp;\nI also think Quinnen Williams and Josh Allen are no brainers as well. &nbsp;Things will get interesting at 5.&nbsp; Tampa could go in a number of directions, but\nthis is Jameis\u2019 last stand, and pairing D.K. with Mike Evans would be a solid\n1-2 punch (or at least enough cover for the front office to draft Tua next\nyear).&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of a number of directions, the Giants are at 6 and\neveryone is screaming qb.&nbsp; However, David\nGettelman has a plan, and that plan involves re-building with a 38-year-old quarterback.&nbsp; This pick (and their other first round pick)\nwill be defense, as the Giants finally remember a long-forgotten football mantra:&nbsp; Defense (and Saquon Barkley) wins championships.&nbsp; I also think the Giants will trade for Josh\nRosen.&nbsp; His price will only go down the\ncloser you get to the Draft, so hold tight G-Men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rounding out the rest of the Top 10, the Bills luck out by\nthe run on defensive players and grab the best tackle in the draft with Jawaan\nTaylor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, this Top 10 assumes no trades. &nbsp;No way that\u2019s going to happen.&nbsp; If Dwayne Haskins slips past the Giants,\nthere\u2019s a good chance a qb needy team like Miami or Washington sneak in to the\nTop 10.&nbsp; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[NFL fan, could be you]: &nbsp;Where the Hell have you guys been?&nbsp;
