After moving on from Kyler Murray and striking out with free agents like Malik Willis and Jimmy Garabolo, their eye in college talent. A fresh mock draft projects them grabbing Miami quarterback Carson Beck in the third round to build depth. Earlier this week, that same mock had the Cardinals passing on a quarterback early, instead adding offensive tackle, Francis Mawegoa and Ed Rusher. TJ Parker in the first two rounds. They missed out on Alabama's Thai Simpson when the Jets took him just ahead in round two. So Beck becomes their flyer at the position. Fans and analysts see Beck as a smart, low-pressure pick since he could sit behind Jacobi Berset and Gardner Menshu. The six-foot-four passer from Georgia transferred to Miami last season, leading the hurricanes to a national championship game and boosting his stock.

They've chatted with Simpson too, but Beck's size and anticipation make him a solid fit without blocking future moves. With Berset and Menshu hitting free agency after next season, this sets Arizona up to die back into a stronger quarterback group in 20. 27. Keeping their options wide open.
