Cardinals Draft Beck, Shaking Up QB Room

0:00It's April 28th. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI, Your Grid Iron Update. I'm Corey with the story. The Arizona Cardinals dropped jaws with their third round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, grabbing quarterback Carson Beck from Georgia by way of Miami. This move shakes up their quarterback room right away, as Beck brings real starter potential and could slide into action this season. Brissett, who's in the last year of his deal, skipped voluntary workouts, pushing for a new contract. Cardinals GM Monty Austinfort says, talks are going smooth, but nothing's locked yet. Meanwhile, one NFL general manager predicts their ship are set out by the trade deadline if things don't click. Fans and insiders see Beck as pro-ready, with 43 college starts under his belt. At 6 foot 4, he fits the pocket passer mold perfectly, managing games like a vet even if his ceiling isn't the highest. Austinfort wants competition in the room, but isn't rushing back in. Brissett hulls the edge for week 1, though a rough start over the first 7 or 8 games could flip the script fast.
