"Cardinals' Draft Strategy: Addressing Needs, Making Trades, and Selecting Marvin Harrison Jr."

ESPN analyst Matt Miller's 7-round NFL mock draft suggests the Arizona Cardinals may trade out of the No. 4 overall pick, potentially with the Denver Broncos, who are eyeing Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy. If the trade happens, the Cardinals could acquire additional draft capital and still address their need for a No. 1 wide receiver by selecting LSU's Brian Thomas at No. 12 overall. The mock draft also includes selections of Graham Barton, Jer’Zhan Newton, Bralen Trice, Max Melton, and Jermaine Burton to bolster the team's offense and defense.
