Here is a 2024 NFL draft pick-by-pick breakdown for the Arizona Cardinals:
Round 1 (No. 4 overall) — Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State: The first non-quarterback off the board – and arguably the best player in the draft among an amazing group of receivers – “Maserati Marv” immediately becomes the No. 1 wideout on a Cards squad that lost Hollywood Brown during free agency. Yet Harrison, 21, the son of his Hall of Fame namesake, should be a significant step up from Brown as a rookie – especially if he can quickly fulfill his widely cited comparison to Arizona legend Larry Fitzgerald. Big (6-3, 209), fast, precise and competitive, the two-time All-American and 2023 Biletnikoff Award winner as college football’s best wideout, Harrison will beat you with his route running, at the point of the catch or downfield depending on the situation. He’s exceeded 1,200 receiving yards and found the end zone 14 times each of the past two seasons and might be the best to roll off what seems like a Buckeyes wide receiver assembly line. No one’s likely to be happier than Cardinals QB Kyler Murray, who hasn’t had a 1,000-yard target since DeAndre Hopkins in 2020. Draft tracker
Round 1 (27, from Texans) — Darius Robinson, DE, Missouri: The 6-5, 285-pound All-SEC selection has the size and athleticism to play inside or out while thriving against the run or pass – all traits a defense that’s weak up front and allowed the second-most points in the league in 2023 could badly use. His leadership will also be a boon to a young defense. Draft tracker
Round 2 (43, from Falcons) — Max Melton, CB, Rutgers: Picked off eight passes in three years for the Scarlet Knights. With 4.39 speed, the 5-11, 187-pounder could show up in Arizona as the Cards' top corner. Draft tracker
Round 3 (66) — Trey Benson, RB, Florida State: Big (6-0, 216), fast (4.39 40 time) and productive (2,267 yards and 24 TDs from scrimmage over past two seasons). While at Oregon, he tore his ACL, MCL, lateral meniscus, medial meniscus and hamstring in practice late in the 2020 season. Should immediately take some load off James Conner. Draft tracker
Round 3 (71, from Titans) — Isaiah Adams, G, Illinois: Could compete for starting job straight away given suspect blocking in front of QB Kyler Murray. Draft tracker
Round 3 (82, from Colts) — Tip Reiman, TE, Illinois: Versatile player who might be destined for dirty work behind emergent TE Trey McBride. Draft tracker
Round 3 (90, from Texans) — Elijah Jones, CB, Boston College: Arizona continues stacking its secondary with a player who swiped seven passes over the past two seasons, usually playing near the boundary. Draft tracker
