A seven-round version of a 2024 NFL Mock Draft for your Arizona Cardinals.
It is almost here, and the big guns are getting pulled out as ESPN and their stable of draft analysts are dropping their final 2024 NFL Mock Drafts.
Today, Jordan Reid takes us through all seven-rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft.
Let’s take a look at what he does courtesy of E$PN.
Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
Getting the best player in the draft with the No. 4 pick would be a win. Arizona will likely have options to move off this pick, and GM Monti Ossenfort loves to move around the board, but I don’t see the Cardinals passing on such an elite wideout. Consider that the Cardinals’ top receiver last season (Marquise Brown, now in Kansas City) had 574 receiving yards. There were 56 wideouts in the NFL who had more than that. Harrison, with his great body control and hands, could immediately become Kyler Murray’s No. 1 receiver.
Cox’s Call: Stick and pick the best player in the 2024 NFL Draft. Easy as pie.
Projected trade: Not the ARI-MIN move we’ve all been expecting …
Cardinals get: No. 23
Vikings get: Nos. 27 and 90
23. Arizona Cardinals (via CLE/HOU and mock trade with MIN)
Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson
Cox’s Call: I am not opposed to a trade up, but I don’t like this one. Wiggins is a good player, but his frame worries me and if he fits in the Gannon/Rallis defense.
35. Arizona Cardinals
Christian Haynes, G, UConn
Let’s work on the protection for Kyler Murray. Haynes is one of my favorite prospects in this class. His strength, anchor and powerful hands will likely help him become an early contributor as a rookie.
Cox’s Call: Love Haynes, think he is as good as it gets on the interior and can compete to start at left guard immediately. That being said, there were other ways I would have gone, but I love the position and player.
66. Arizona Cardinals
Ruke Orhorhoro, DT, Clemson
Arizona might look to add more strength along the interior, and Orhorhoro is the best run-defending defensive lineman in this class.
Cox’s Call: Orhorhoro is a really nice interior defensive line prospect, and someone worth this pick, however for me taking Darius Robinson earlier and Cooper Beebe or Blake Fisher with this pick is what I would have done.
71. Arizona Cardinals (via TEN)
Austin Booker, EDGE, Kansas
Booker has the kind of high-upside tools that could make him a starter down the road for Arizona. He’s coming off an eight-sack season.
104. Arizona Cardinals: Blake Corum, RB, Michigan
138. Arizona Cardinals: Jha’Quan Jackson, WR, Tulane
162. Arizona Cardinals (via HOU): Garret Greenfield, OT, South Dakota State
186. Arizona Cardinals (via MIN): Kalen King, CB, Penn State
226. Arizona Cardinals (via NYG): Ty’Ron Hopper, LB, Missouri
Not a whole lot to say, outside of the fact I am not a huge Booker guy. I love adding Blake Corum, and do not like adding Kalen King, but at that pick it is whatever.
