TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) Arizona Cardinals general manager Monti O senfort played riverboat gambler in his first draft last season, wheeling and dealing picks during the first round at a dizzying pace.This time around, he didn't need to get fancy.The Cardinals selected receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. with the No. 4 overall pick in the on Thursday night, hoping the Ohio State star can be the team's leading playmaker for quarterback Kyler Murray.Kylers awesome, Harrison said. You look at his record from high Julius Randle Jersey school and hes always won, and thats the kind of guy I want to play with. Hes just so dynamic of a quarterback and I just want to go in there and make his job easier.ADVERTISEMENT The Cardinals also took Mi souri defensive lineman Darius Robinson with the No. 27 overall pick. The 6-foot-5, 296-pounder had 8 1/2 sacks in his final college season with the Tigers and was named first-team All-Southeastern Conference.The 6-foot-4, 205- Christian Wood Jersey pound Harrison has drawn comparisons to Larry Fitzgerald, who was arguably the greatest player in the team's history after ama sing more than 17,000 yards receiving over 17 seasons before retiring in 2020.O senfort said he received multiple text me sages from an excited Murray following the Harrison pick.With Marvin, it's maturity, accountability and dependability, the GM said. He checks all those boxes. He's been around football his whole life, and we're really excited about the way he approaches his job.Harrison has an impre sive bloodline. He's the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, though considerably bigger than his dad, po se sing a rare combination of size, speed and athleticism. He caught 67 pa ses for 1,211 yards and 14 touchdowns in his final season with the Buckeyes.The receiver said having a dad who knew about the NFL made the draft proce s much easier.I love where my body is right now, Harrison said. I love where I'm at going into the season, going into mini-camp, going into training camp."Arizona was in a prime position to get one of the draft's top non-quarterbacks. The teams with the Tony Carr Jersey top three picks all needed QBs, but the Cardinals are set at the position with Murray, who has a $230.5 million, five-year deal that could keep him in Arizona through 2028.Robinson's selection late in the first round was no surprise considering defensive line was an area of need. Versatility, Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said. We're going to put him everywhere. Violent. Really good in the run and pa s game.Robinson, who is a Michigan native, was one of the few players remaining in the NFL's green room for draft picks, but said he wasn't worried that he'd fall out of the first round.I wasn't antsy, I knew AZ was the one Anthony Davis Jersey for me since the beginning of this proce s," Robinson said. "They were one of the first teams that met with me at the combine. One of the first teams that met with me at the Senior Bowl.It was the first two picks of a vital draft for the Cardinals, who . Arizona's had a 4-13 record in each of the past two seasons.O senfort chose to use the No. 4 pick instead of trading down for potentially more selections. It was a different strategy from his first season with the club, when the Cardinals started with the No. 3 overall selection but made multiple trades on draft Kenrich Williams Jersey night before settling on the No. 6 pick, which was used to select offensive lineman Paris Johnson Jr.Johnson who also played at Ohio State started all 17 games at right tackle last season. Harrison said the two have texted back and forth over the past few months, excited about the po sibility of playing together.Harrison should also have an immediate impact, especially considering the Cardinals lack of elite receivers. Tight end Trey McBride had a breakout season in 2023 with 825 yards receiving and three touchdowns. Michael Wilson also had an encouraging rookie season with 565 yards receiving.But the No. 1 receiver spot is up for grabs and the Cardinals certainly hope Harrison can seize it.___AP NFL:
