We are three rounds into the 2026 NFL Draft and the Arizona Cardinals are all-in on fixing the offense.
With the first pick in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft and the 65th pick overall, the Arizona Cardinals take veteran college quarterback Carson Beck from Miami.
From NFL.com:
Three-year starter who has weathered his share of ups and downs. Beck has NFL-caliber size and a lot of experience playing in high-leverage games. He recovered from 2024 UCL surgery on his throwing elbow, but he appeared
to lose some drive velocity on deep balls and move throws. He works through progressions at a good pace and can throw with anticipation, but he loses track of safeties, throwing into hazardous spots. Beck’s decision-making showed more maturity in his final college season, but pressure can pull him back into old habits. He spins a catchable ball with a compact release, but spotty accuracy leads to pass breakups and a lower conversion rate on tight-window throws. Beck projects as a good backup with the potential to earn a starting job down the road, but he must continue developing game-managing instincts.
Beck gives the Cardinals a young, although not too young, quarterback to compete with Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew.
I guess defense is optional this year?
