NFL mock draft: Malik Nabers over Marvin Harrison Jr. pick angers Arizona Cardinals fans
For what seems like forever, many NFL writers have indicated that the Arizona Cardinals would take Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. with the No. 4 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, should the team keep that selection in the first round on Thursday, April 25.
But one NFL writer has a different take, and that take has some fans of the Cardinals upset.
CBS Sports' Pete Prisco has the Cardinals taking LSU WR Malik Nabers at No. 4 in his "what teams should do" mock draft, not Harrison Jr.
He has Harrison Jr. going to the Los Angeles Chargers with the No. 5 pick.
Prisco wrote: "I like Nabers more than Marvin Harrison, which is why this is the pick. Nabers has more wiggle in my mind. Both will be great, but my preference is Nabers."
Prisco was prepared to receive angst from fans, writing of his mock: "One more time: This is not a predictive mock. It's my who-they-should take mock. Even so, most of you won't get the message."
A lot of people still slammed the writer's pick of Nabers over Harrison Jr. on social media.

Cardinals fans sound off on NFL mock draft with team taking Malik Nabers over Marvin Harrison Jr.:
I just refuse to believe Cards pass on MHJ if he available. Trade down? Sure. But just not taking him? Don’t think so.

This will NOT happen. These two are too close athletically speaking but Marv has the length that you can't coach. Besides, if the Cards pass on MHJ & take Nabers instead, it might look like the Jan6th insurrection at the Cards facility 🤣
