And there it is, Kyler Murray is the guy at No 1 for the Arizona Cardinals. 

Now attention turns to Josh Rosen, where will he go?

Well, ESPN's Adam Schefter claims the Giants, Dolphins and Chargers are all considering Josh Rosen. 

But, he remains merely a contingency plan for those sides. 

The Cards, Schefter insists, would be prepared to keep Rosen.

The Niners go for Bosa!

Nick, brother of Joey, winds up in the Bay Area!

The Jets take Quinnen Williams from Alabama!

The DT is touted by some as THE best player in this class, so the Jets stand strong. 

Trade talk was rife, but they take the talent on offer.

The Oakland Raiders pick Clemson DE Clelin Ferrell!

Jon Gruden has pulled a shock!

Jack Rathborn26 April 2019 01:48

Part of the intimidating Clemson defense, Ferrell's character is raved about. 

Gruden has a solid guy in the locker room. 

Something to build on.

The Bucs take LSU LB Devin White at No 5. 

With a plethora of options to strengthen their defense, including Josh Allen and Ed Oliver, White is the guy. 

Bruce Arians seemingly liked White all along.

The Giants take at Duke's Daniel Jones No 6! 

They have their successor to Eli Manning. 

Jack Rathborn26 April 2019 02:01

Criticism already aimed at the Giants, could they have waited? 

Jags up next, who have their QB, of course: Nick Foles. 

The No 6 pick is: Josh Allen. 

Jack Rathborn26 April 2019 02:08

The Lions are up next, Gruden with the boos once again. 

Detroit bring TJ Hockenson from Iowa.
