The 2026 NFL Draft saw a surprise pick by the Rams, selecting Alabama QB Ty Simpson. ESPN's mock draft suggests Miami QB Carson Beck could be picked No. 34 overall by the Cardinals on Day 2.

Beck's excellent play in the College Football Playoff changed the narrative on him and there are believers around the NFL in his ability as a future starter.
