1st-round quandary: The case against taking a WR at #8

Although the Cardinals will be making their selection a few picks later than they did last year, there is still a palpable air of excitement around the team’s upcoming top-10 pick. And given the usual mad rush for rookie QBs—in which the Cardinals took part in each of the past two drafts—there will likely be several elite prospects to choose from when they’re on the clock.

Among those options could very well be the top wide receivers available: Kyler Murray’s old Oklahoma teammate CeeDee Lamb and Alabama star Jerry Jeudy among them. WR is certainly a need (even with Larry Fitzgerald’s return), and there has been a growing sentiment on this very website and among Cardinals fans and observers at large that the team should take one of the pass catchers at #8—especially Lamb.
