Cardinals land WR, OL in new pre-combine mock draft

The NFL combine begins this week. It is the next phase in pre-NFL draft evaluations. Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar has a new first-round mock draft. The Chicago Bears don’t take a quarterback first overall, opting to take Ohio State receiver Marvin Harris first overall.

That means the Arizona Cardinals will have to go a different direction with the fourth overall pick.

Below are the projections for the Arizona Cardinals with their two first-round selections.

 

No. 4 pick: LSU WR Malik Nabers

Malik Nabers 8 as the LSU Tigers take on Texas A&M in Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, November 25, 2023.

Nabers has length, playmaking and athleticism. Some like him even more than Harrison. If it weren’t for Harrison, Nabers would be the clear-cut No. 1 receiver in the draft for most.

Pick No. 27: Washington OT Troy Fautanu

With D.J. Humphries tearing his ACL in the last games of the season, the Cardinals need a new tackle.
