“I literally went to Marvin and was like, ‘Dude, you know you’re a Cardinal, right?’ I knew he was going to be a Cardinal because I saw what happened with [DeAndre Hopkins]. I’m like, the Cardinals are probably going to want another 6-4 receiver. So I’m like, dude, I have a feeling, you’re probably going to be a Cardinal.
“He said he wanted to be a Cardinal.”
The Cardinals hold the No. 4 overall pick and are Harrison’s most likely landing spot if they do not trade down. The first three picks are likely to be quarterbacks, while Arizona has no such need. Of course, there is certainly a possibility that the Cardinals trade down to a quarterback-needy team, which could put the Los Angeles Chargers in position to get Harrison at No. 5 overall.
Harrison is the consensus top wide receiver in the draft, and may be the best overall prospect, though there is some surprising disagreement on that.
