Where is Marvin Harrison Jr. projected to land in the 2024 NFL Draft?
USA TODAY's Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz projected Harrison Jr. as the No. 4 overall pick to the Arizona Cardinals in the upcoming NFL Draft.
With numerous talented quarterbacks already declaring for the draft in Caleb Williams , Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels , the Cardinals could be in a good position to focus on acquiring a player outside the quarterback position. Harrison Jr. would provide another exciting option for Kyler Murray to throw to in the upcoming season alongside Trey McBride.
"If Harrison is available for Arizona, he's a no-brainer," Middlehurst-Schwartz writes.
