Arizona Cardinals secure the #1 pick in 2019 NFL draft

Some consolation for Jon, our resident Cardinals fan, following an agonizing season...

The starting point of the 2019 NFL draft is now in the hands of the Arizona Cardinals.

With a 27-24 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, the Cardinals secured the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft.

The franchise has never held the first pick in the draft since its move to Arizona in 1988. The Chicago Cardinals held the top selection in 1958, when they drafted Rice quarterback King Hill. The Cardinals selected quarterback Josh Rosen last year after moving up to the No. 10 slot. But Arizona could be looking for help at a multitude of positions after finishing with the NFL's worst offense and sporting several holes on defense.

Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa has been the early projection of many to be the first player selected, but Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams and offensive tackle Jonah Williams are among the other notable names expected to be off the board early in the first round.
