Cardinals Draft Carson Beck, Plan To Sit Rookie Behind Veterans

Arizona signals a patient plan at quarterback to keep flexibility for a possible supplemental-draft addition.

Overview

  • Arizona selected Carson Beck with the 65th pick in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
  • Head coach Mike LaFleur said the team will not rush Beck and that sitting for at least a year could help his development.
  • Beck enters a room led by Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew, which points to veterans taking early snaps.
  • Opinions on Beck’s ceiling differ, with Kurt Warner praising his tape as steady in big games and an opposing coach citing accuracy and turnover issues.
  • Texas Tech’s Brendan Sorsby could enter the NFL supplemental draft if he loses NCAA eligibility, a route that would require any team that picks him to forfeit that round’s 2027 draft choice.
