The NFL draft is still months away, but with many NFL teams eliminated from playoff contention, they must look to the future. That means it is draft season.
To kick off draft season, ESPN’s Todd McShay has released his first mock draft and he has the Arizona Cardinals selecting a player that many fans will get excited about.
Currently with the sixth pick in the draft, McShay has them taking Oklahoma receiver CeeDee Lamb.
The Cards got their quarterback last April, but they really need to find Kyler Murray some help in the offense, especially considering Larry Fitzgerald will be 37 years old next season and isn’t currently signed after this year. So how about Murray’s former Oklahoma teammate? Lamb can create separation and is extremely talented creating after the catch.
One of the Cardinals’ biggest needs in the offseason a big-play receiver. They added four receivers in the last two drafts in Christian Kirk, Andy Isabella, Hakeem Butler and KeeSean Johnson, but Lamb is on another level.
He has length at 6-2. He gets separation. He has the upside to be a dominant No. 1 receiver.
In McShay’s mock draft, Georgia tackle Andrew Thomas is the next pick at No. 7 to the New York Jets.
If both are on the board, who should be the pick?
