Potential first-round target for Arizona Cardinals has medical red flag

The NFL draft is Thursday and we are getting some last projections, reports and tidbits about the players expected to be selected. In some cases, this information could lead to players being selected later than expected.

Could that happen with a potential first-round target for the Arizona Cardinals?

Oregon defensive tackle Derrick Harmon is one of the top interior defenders in the draft. He is big, athletic, productive and plays with a high motor.

However, there is apparently an injury concern, which could cause teams to go a different direction.

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, appearing on the PHNX Cardinals podcast, said the concern is Harmon's shoulder, which could push him into the back half of the first round.
