Cardinals Draft QB Carson Beck: A Smart Move

0:00It's April 25th. This is NFL News Today Football coverage powered by AI. The Arizona Cardinals made a big move on day 2 of the NFL Draft, grabbing quarterback Carson Beck with the 65th overall pick, the very first, selection in the third round. Beck transferred from Georgia to Miami where he balled out as a two-year starter, leading the Hurricanes to the national championship game against Indiana. His 24-year-old stands six-foot-five and weighs 233 pounds, with a stellar record of 37 wins and just six losses as a starter. Last season alone, he lit it up, completing 72.4% of his passes for 3,813 yards, 30. Touchdowns and 12 picks. He's got that high floor with sharp pre-snab reads and anticipation throws, making him a solid backup who could step up as a starter, and since it's just a third round investment, the cards stay flexible for future drafts.
