TEMPE — The Arizona Cardinals had plenty of action on the phones Thursday as teams called about trades, but general manager Monti Ossenfort stood pat with his two first-round picks in the NFL Draft.
The Cardinals took Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. fourth overall and Missouri defensive lineman Darius Robinson 27th, addressing needs on both sides of the ball despite the incoming calls for both picks.
“I’d say we were busy on the phone most of the day,” Ossenfort said after the first round. “With the spot we were in, it was teams coming to us. It wasn’t a situation where we weren’t looking to move the pick, we were just doing due diligence as those phone calls came in. As always, we’re going to listen. But, ultimately, we were excited to stick and pick at No. 4.”
