Cardinals haven’t had calls about No. 4 pick yet

General manager Monti Ossenfort believes the calls will come closer to the draft.

The Arizona Cardinals made multiple trades during last year’s NFL draft. They have the fourth overall pick this year and many wonder if they will active traders again.

However, nothing has happened yet.

General manager Monti Ossenfort hasn’t even had a phone call, he told reporters at the NFL combine.

“I’m not surprised,” he said. “We’re sitting here at the end of February; we’ve got a ways to go on that. I think everybody’s still in the middle of their evaluation process. There’s a lot of unknowns. I think those discussions happen the more we get closer to the draft in April.”

Even with multiple deals last year, they had not had any talks at this point a year ago.

“I’m sure those calls will come,” he said. “We’re going to make our fair share of calls, too.  I think last year we proved that we were more than willing to move up to move back, to stay put and pick. I think those discussions will come further down the road.”

The NFL draft is April 25-27.

Look: Kyler Murray receives interesting chess set

He gets a Chipotle-inspired chess set.

Kyler Murray is a football phenom and is the future of the Arizona Cardinals at quarterback, but football wasn’t his only talent growing up. As we learned from an ESPN story back from last October, Murray also was a very good chess player growing up.

He is also apparently a big fan of the restaurant Chipotle.

He received a celebrity Chipotle card and also a chess set, but the chess set doesn’t have the typical pieces. This one has a burrito for the king, an avocado for the queen, chipotle peppers as the pawns, drinks for the rooks, footballs for the bishops and bags of chips for the knights.
