Marvin Harrison Jr.'s decision to skip the NFL Scouting Combine has caused a stir in the Arizona Cardinals' draft preparations for the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft in April. Despite his absence at the combine, Harrison remains a top prospect linked to the Cardinals' No. 4 pick, as reported by the Arizona Sports Mock Draft Tracker. Out of 96 mock drafts analyzed, Harrison emerges as the front-runner in 61 of them to join the Cardinals as a much-needed No. 1 wide receiver for quarterback Kyler Murray.

The potential selection of Harrison is seen as a favorable outcome for the Cardinals, addressing their urgent need for a big target in the receiving corps. The decision by Harrison to forgo the combine is perceived as strategic, especially with other top wide receiver prospects, such as Rome Odunze and Malik Nabers, also vying for early draft positions. Despite missing the combine, Harrison's position at the top of many draft boards remains secure, potentially solidifying his spot with the Cardinals.

At present, the Cardinals' wide receiver group features Michael Wilson, Rondale Moore, and Zach Pascal, with Hollywood Brown and Greg Dortch heading towards free agency this offseason. As the draft approaches, the Cardinals are poised to make pivotal decisions that could shape their offensive arsenal for the upcoming season.
