Opinion: Drafting Kyler Murray at #1 gives the Cardinals a true identity

It’s been a long journey for Arizona Cardinals fans over the last 365 days.

Now, one year later, for many Cardinals fans, this year’s #1 overall selection felt like a drop in the bucket for one reason or another.

One because, well, many expected this to be the pick for months given the national media’s speculation.
