The Arizona Cardinals will not be making the postseason and will have one of the top picks in the 2024 NFL draft. Currently, they would have the third and 18th pick, based on Week 14 standings. The third pick is theirs and the 18th comes from the Houston Texans.
While fans have their eyes on Ohio State standout receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., in a new two-round mock draft from Draft Wire’s Curt Popejoy, the Cardinals will not have the opportunity to get him. He goes first overall to the Chicago Bears.
So who do the Cardinals land with their three picks in the first two rounds?

Round 1, pick No. 3: Penn State OT Olu Fashanu
Could the Cardinals use a top-10 pick for the second straight year on a tackle? Paris Johnson looks like the future. D.J. Humphries has not been great this season.
Having two tackles you can rely on to protect Kyler Murray isn’t a bad way to go.
Round 1, pick No. 18: Florida State WR Keon Coleman
If the Cardinals can’t draft Harrison, Coleman isn’t a bad option. He has size at 6-4 and 210 pounds. He is an alpha receiver out of FSU. That won’t remind anyone of Anquan Boldin, will it?
Round 2: TCU CB Josh Newton
The Cardinals drafted two cornerbacks this year and have had four different rookie cornerbacks start this season. Draft another one? Why not? Marco Wilson won’t be back.
