The Arizona Cardinals gave the 49ers a gift in the 2019 NFL draft. Instead of taking Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa with the first overall pick, Arizona selected Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray. That let Bosa slide to the 49ers at the No. 2 overall pick. Bosa was widely considered the top player in the draft, but Murray wound up winning over the Cardinals throughout the draft process. Skipping on Bosa hasn’t gone well for Arizona, just as the defensive end told the team it would.
Former Cardinals general manager Steve Keim on Friday joined The Herd with Colin Cowherd and told a story about a pre-draft threat Bosa issued to Keim and then-head coach Kliff Kingsbury.
