Arizona Cardinals get roasted for selection of Carson Beck in round three

65. Arizona Cardinals: Carson Beck, QB, Miami (Fla.) – Grade: D

It’s understandable that Arizona might want to take a stab at finding a developmental quarterback. Beck, however, is a robotic passer who can wilt under pressure, and his decision-making and ball placement can be erratic. This doesn’t move the needle much for a team preparing to roll with Jacoby Brissett. With so much work to do, Arizona should take a more patient approach to roster-building. Here’s the thing, the Beck pick in a vacuum is fine. As Albert Breer said, it is a swing on a quarterback in the third round and does nothing to keep you from drafting another guy in 2027. If Beck can get back to the arm strength he had at Georgia before the UCL injury maybe he can become something more, because he has shown to be a competent starter in the NFL. But, his off the field stuff, his injury status and his age all leave questions, and while I don’t think they deserve the roasting, it is understandable. What are your thoughts?
