11:06 a.m.: The Cardinals' first two selections on the final day of the NFL Draft are Iowa State wide receiver Hakeem Butler (Round 4, Pick 1) and Alabama safety Deionte Thompson (Round 5, Pick 1).

5:46 p.m.: The Cardinals' selection of Murray begs the obvious question: What will become of Josh Rosen? He's a likely trade candidate, but how much value will the Cardinals get for him? Remember: The Cards selected Rosen with the 10th overall pick in last year's draft, and they had to trade up in order to do so.

The Cardinals will make the 1st selection in the NFL Draft for the first time since 1958, when the team was based in Chicago and they took QB King Hill-Rice. The only teams that have currently gone longer since making the first pick are the Bears (last in 1947) and Eagles (1949).

3:09 p.m.: NFL Network's Bucky Brooks doesn't think Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray is the No. 1 quarterback in the draft. He thinks that title belongs to Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins.
-------------------------
3:06 p.m.: Is quarterback Kyler Murray a lock to be the No. 1 pick, or could the Cardinals take defensive end Nick Bosa or defensive tackle Quinnen Williams instead? "They know what they're doing to do with the pick, but there is some uncertainty," NFL Network's Steve Wyche said. The Cardinals have reportedly met with all three players.
