down the rankings for 24/7 Sports kind of a little bit of an afterthought here still decently recruited but not as highly recruited as you thought 18 offers usually the amount of offers camore good around 40s or so is around the elite 18's okay it's good it's good but again you would expect more considering where he went in the draft how we were waiting for some time for him to come out for the draft and you know what it was same thing from Malik neighbors but he missed his final year of high school so that was kind of different Marvin Harrison Jr though climbed up through the ranks did some things but back then they had him rated as a round 4 to s Prospect comp to Kenny G he does have some link that's an interesting comp but now he's more technical but the one thing they do mention back then was how technical he was on the release and creating separation we went over his high school tape on the channel back then he's a very technical Prospect as a high schooler good hands good at the catch point and back then I said they were sleeping on him and then you look at the athletic specs back in high school Garrett Wilson tesed the four sixes for his 40 back in high school kind of want to take that with a grain of salt but he paired up with Kyle mcord his former High School quarterback at Ohio State they all went to the Buckeyes but with the Buckeyes we did not go off to our sophomore season but it's understandable considering Ohio state is the wide receiver you they're stacked up with Talent at the wide receiver position nothing but highend four stars and five stars there 1,200 yards in 2022 77 receptions and then in 2023 last year 67 1200 yards 14 touchdowns and the quarterback play was not great it was not great it was awful with McCord slinging The Rock he averaged 3.44 yards per reception last year 318 the year prior and on top of that we saw him get better throughout the years we saw him get more athletic we saw him get more technical we saw him get more aggressive we saw that over the course of time then came for the draft fourth player off the board we all know that he's got good length did not test at the combine and then you look at this depth chart and you're saying hey there's nobody here but I'm going to tell you this Greg dorch and Michael Wilson were looking good in training camp creating separation Greg dorch is good around the line of scrimmage Michael Wilson is a good separator good at selling his routes being quick being nuanced Michael Wilson might be an option that you're plucking off waivers this year Marvin Harrison Jr though should still be soaking up targets should still be getting a lot of opportunities here but Trey McBride might be the X Factor he should be seeing around a 20% Target share Kyler Murray targets the tight ends a lot Trey McBride is a very good tight end Prospect he proved that last year should only get better going forward Maris Hollywood Browns of course with the Chiefs right now 101 targets gone a lot of that should be going to Marvin Harrison Jr usually when targets leave kind of disperses out but we got an alpha wide receiver here that should soak up a lot of these targets Michael Wilson was on the field about 75 to 80% of the past attempts running routes a good route participation rate he should be on the field Rond Del Moore is gone a lot of that workload is going to go to Greg dorch Greg dorch is very efficient and he has a few weeks every year where he goes off and you're chasing him off the waiver wire you're probably going to chase him and Wilson off the waiver wire sometime during the season but it's still going to be the Marvin Harrison Jr show but you got to ask yourself is there enough upside here in this offense and with him being a rookie and is there going to be a rookie ramp up even or is he going to come up out of the gates going off like a veteran like a top tier veteran where he's being drafted at here back in first round second round pick is he going to be worth the cost here is he going to give you the return on investment or is he going to give you the return on investment like a third or fourth round pick is this necessary do you want to do something different at this point of the draft because there's a lot of options Marvin Harrison Jr does have the upside of a Jamar Chase CD lamb Alan R st Brown Justin Jefferson he has that upside he's also a rookie there's other options in this offense we got a tight end here that's going to soak up Target share and that's going to be interesting for his amount of targets but it may not even matter he may be one of the most targeted wide receivers in the National Football League he's looking good in training camp he looked good in mini camp OTAs as well he looked good in pre-season he's got long length he's a technical route Runner strong at the catch Point everything you want Kyler Murray loves him and the fact that drafters don't care and he's Rising even as we get closer to the NFL season indicates that people are willing to make this bet are you willing to make that bet after knowing all that and the Cardinals are one of the most fast-paced teams in the NFL they run a lot of plays not much time is being wasted between snaps that's a lot of opportunity they throw the ball a good bit they do run a little bit but not too much to where it's a concern I think this is a great offense for a guy like Marvin Harrison Jr but you don't want him because he's too expensive he's a very expensive rookie wide receiver with other options on the board you can go running back in that area you can get another wide receiver but you want them cuz you're all in you see the upside you know he's good you've been watching him maybe you're a buck guy fan maybe you're just Allin you think he's a generational talent and you know that's going to hit early and often when it comes to rookie wide receivers usually expect a ramp up usually expect them to hit sometime middle of the season during the rookie season if not during their second year usually the great wide receivers they hit pretty quick within a few weeks of the regular season with a guy like Marvin Harrison Jr the Market's been waiting for him to come out for the draft to start his NFL career much like bejon Robinson last year everybody was waiting for him everybody's been waiting for Marvin Harrison Jr for quite some time now for the last two three years now he's here looks like he's in a good offense looks like there's a lot of opportunity but still rookies will do rookie things and that's just part of the game are you willing to make that investment it's pretty cut and dry with Marvin Harrison Jr it's just whether you want to play play that game or not let me know what you think
