Marvin Harrison Jr. NFL Draft photo
WR is a huge need for the Cardinals. Harrison is no doubt the first of muiltiple WRs that the Card will select over the course of the Draft.


Per Dane Brugler: "Harrison has dominant receiving traits and can win from anywhere on the field, because of his athletic gifts, route savvy and adjustment/finishing skills at the catch point. He is among the best receiving prospects to enter the NFL in recent memory, and he has the dedication to his craft to be a playmaking No. 1 NFL receiver and future All-Pro."

Kyler Murray welcomes his new best friend.

The Cardinals came out of the first round adding talent to each side of the ball. I thought Robinson would be an option late in RD1 as a versatile D-lineman with great size and length. He really put it all together in Mobile, where he was a beast against a crop of 1st-round caliber offensive linemen.

Robinson's got the burst and balance to win on the edge, with the violent hands and tenacity to kick inside as well. I really thought Arizona was hoping for a guy like Jared Verse or Chop Robinson here, but I am not complaining with this fit in a defense that likes versatile players in their front. Mel Kiper was banging his fist, praising this guy. Grade: B

The Cardinals secondary needs upgrades and Melton is one of the more underrated prospects in this class. The kid is a die-hard competitor that never gives anything less than his best effort. He's physical, aggressive and instinctive. I think he will find a home as a nickel back that lines up against slot options, as his size can be an issue against bigger players on the perimeter. Still, don't think he hasn't been told that his entire life and yet still shows up to win every rep. Grade: B+

CARDINALS HISTORICAL DRAFT PICKS

Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.
Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".

Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
