The Cardinals have some receivers who can manipulate in the middle of the field and create after the catch in Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk.

They also have a great pass catching back in David Johnson.

Though Marquise Brown is dealing with a Lisfranc injury that will keep him out until training camp, and durability here is a concern, but this is one of the most explosive players in the country coming from college to the NFL this year and he has familiarity with Murray, who knows how to get him the ball.

Brown averaged over 18 yards per catch in his two seasons with the Sooners, catching 17 touchdowns and constantly leaving a trail of dust for defenders to eat behind him.

His speed to take the top off a defense would be a great addition to the Cardinals’ offense.

This pick would be the first acquired from the Redskins in the hypothetical trade for Josh Rosen.
