NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero reported Beck could be drafted earlier than he has been projected across many mocks leading up to the draft. Part of the reason is due to the need at the position in this year's draft.
"There's enough teams that have a quarterback need," Pelissero said on Wednesday. "I would not be surprised if Carson Beck goes, I believe he will go in the second round of this draft. And there's at least a non-trivial chance again based on the fact that everybody in the back half of the first round is going to have a second-round grade. I would not 100% rule out the idea of Carson Beck somehow finding his way into the bottom of Round 1."
