Beck's the third signal caller off the board this draft, following Fernando Mendoza and Ty Simpson, who the Los Angeles Rams took at pick number.

He's got that prototypical NFL frame and nearly six with five, 233 pounds, with three years starting under his belt at Georgia and Miami, including big game reps. Scouts like his smooth release and pre-snaps marks, but note he can crack under pressure, leading to picks and turnovers.
