Touted as the best receiver in the draft, Marvin Harrison Jr. linking up with Kyler Murray in Arizona is a tantalizing prospect as the Cardinals need a star receiver to pair with their quarterback.

As for the Patriots, their quarterback situation is uncertain, and it is clear that Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe aren't the answer at the position. So drafting a quarterback seems logical for the Patriots, but in some mock drafts, Harrison Jr. comes to New England.

It will be fascinating to see how the draft pans out, particularly in the first round, and all eyes will be on Marvin Harrison Jr. to see which team gets themselves a star receiver.
