New Arizona coach Dennis Green isn't saying who tops his wish list for next week's NFL draft. Still, it doesn't take a genius to figure out wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is the guy.
Green said Thursday the Cardinals will take the best athlete available with their No. 3 overall pick.
And what does Green think of Fitzgerald?
``I think he's the No. 1 player coming out of college football,'' Green said.
Green has a long relationship with Fitzgerald and his family. Fitzgerald was a ball boy for the Vikings when Green was their coach.
The big question is whether Fitzgerald will be gone before the Cardinals make their pick on April 24.
``There's been a lot said about my relationship with Larry Fitzgerald, and there's a very strong bond,'' Green said. ``But also I've got 30 years in coaching, I've got 18 years in the National Football League, and I respect the system.''
Green and Rod Graves, the team's vice president for football operations, said there would be no attempt to move up to No. 1 or No. 2, so the only way Arizona will land Fitzgerald is if he's there at No. 3.
