NFL Trade Rumors: Teams Not Eager to Pay 'Premium' for Cardinals' No. 4 Draft Pick

Teams are reportedly not willing to break the bank to move up to No. 4 in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals.

Jeff Howe of The Athletic reported teams have not been "tripping over themselves to pay a premium" as the Cardinals explore trading the No. 4 pick in Thursday's NFL draft.

Arizona has been favored to take Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. if no trade arises.

Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort is no stranger to maneuvering around the draft board. A year ago, he traded the No. 3 pick in the draft to the Houston Texans and moved back to No. 12 before moving up to No. 6 in a deal with the Detroit Lions.

A similar scenario would be a dream for Ossenfort in this year's draft, especially given the depth at wide receiver. Even if Harrison is off the board in a scenario where the Cardinals move back, LSU's Malik Nabers and Washington's Rome Odunze are both considered elite prospects and should be available later in the top 10 or just outside.

The Minnesota Vikings and Las Vegas Raiders have been the teams most often mentioned among the teams most likely to trade up. Their most obvious target would be Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who is expected to be the fourth signal-caller taken Thursday night.

USC's Caleb Williams, LSU's Jayden Daniels and North Carolina's Drake Maye have settled in as the 1-2-3 spots in nearly every projection. Howe noted it's possible teams could get more aggressive in attempting to trade up if Daniels or Maye slips to the No. 4 spot.
