Arizona Cardinals

For Arizona sports fans, this is the ideal situation. The Cardinals selected former Saguaro High School receiverChristian Kirkwith the 47th pick in last year’s draft, and retaining another hometown hero would amplify local pride.

Complemented withLarry Fitzgerald’s return, Harry would receive the opportunity to learn from a legend at his position, a topic he addressed withAZCardinals.com’s Darren Urban.

“(It) would be amazing,” Harry told the site. “He’s a legend. There’s so much wisdom that he has, so playing with a guy like that would benefit me, extremely.”

Harry is pushing this choice, too. According toazcentral.com, his only private workout came with the Cardinals this week.

While the Chandler, Arizona, connection makes sense, a fit does, too. Arizona could use physical targets in coachKliff Kingsbury’s ‘Air Raid’ offense, a threat Harry could bring to interior and exterior routes.

However, the quick-strike offense also relies on swift receivers. Kirk could play that role, but he must recover from a broken foot suffered in early December. That could cause Arizona to move away from Harry, possibly chasing Oklahoma’sMarquise Browninstead.

The Cardinals have the No. 1 and No. 33 choice in the first two rounds of the draft. Assuming they takeKyler Murraywith the first pick, it wouldn’t be irrational to think a receiver would follow.

At No. 33, Harry would be an option, if available. He is a fit, but he also might not be the positional player the Cardinals want most.
