Why Carson Beck didn't get drafted in NFL Draft 1st round after rumors

Carson Beck was rumored to be a first-round pick due to speculation and reports leading up to the draft, but these expectations were not realized.

Quarterbacks like Fernando Mendoza and Ty Simpson were selected before Carson Beck in the NFL Draft.

Fernando Mendoza was drafted first overall by the Raiders in the NFL Draft.

The rumors came out late in NFL Draft week, the kind that seem important but also are hard to make sense of.

The reports were saying that Carson Beck, the Georgia-turned-Miami QB, could find his way into the first round on Thursday night.

Well, the first round came and went, and Beck was still waiting -- which had been the expectation most of the way.

Indiana's Fernando Mendoza went No. 1 overall to the Raiders, as expected. The Rams surprised people by taking Alabama's Ty Simpson 13th.

And that was it for the quarterbacks picked.
