Almost all of the talk surrounding the top overall pick heading into the NFL Draft has had to do with Kyler Murray, but New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas seems to think the Arizona Cardinals would be making a mistake if they select the Heisman Trophy winner.
On Monday, Thomas took to Twitter to share his opinion of who he believes is the best player in the draft. He’s a huge Nick Bosa fan.
Nick Bosa is the best player in the draft stop playing. He has been and still is.

Most mock drafts have Bosa going second overall to the San Francisco 49ers, and it would be a surprise if the former Ohio State defensive end fell any further than that. Even if the Cardinals take Murray at No. 1, that may be more about the type of fit they feel he will be in Kliff Kingsbury’s offense rather than believing he is the best overall player available.
Bosa’s older brother Joey instantly became one the best pass-rushers in the NFL when he was drafted by the Los Angeles Chargers, and Nick is expected to enjoy the same level of success. In the event that Arizona decides not to draft Murray (and that is looking like more of a possibility), Bosa would be a strong possibility if they decide to keep the pick.
