With under a month remaining until the 2026 NFL Draft arrives, Miami Hurricanes quarterback Carson Beck remains one of the more intriguing prospects in the class.
Beck, who was viewed a couple of years back as a potential top-10 pick, is expected to be a third or fourth-round selection. There are quite a few teams in need of quarterback help, which should give him a good chance of landing in a good situation.
Last season with Miami, Beck led the Hurricanes on a National Championship run. Unfortunately, the team came up just short against Curt Cignetti, Fernando Mendoza, and the Indiana Hoosiers. Despite the loss in the championship, Miami exceeded expectations.
Ahead of the NFL Draft, quite a few predictions have come out regarding Beck’s future. An intriguing new prediction has been made about where he will end up.
Miami Hurricanes QB Carson Beck Gets New NFL Prediction
ESPN NFL Draft expert Matt Miller has unveiled a full seven-round mock draft. His predictions for Beck would give the young quarterback a chance to earn playing time early.
He believes that Beck will end up being taken by the Arizona Cardinals with the first pick of the third round at No. 65 overall.
“After missing on Simpson in Round 2, the Cardinals could take a swing at QB here,” Miller wrote. “Beck’s experience and strong pocket play would allow him to run the play-action-based offense Mike LaFleur brings to Arizona.”
Beck landing with the Cardinals would make perfect sense. After they decided to release Kyler Murray earlier this offseason, they are expected to enter the 2026 NFL season with Jacoby Brissett under center. That isn’t an ideal scenario past the upcoming year.
The Cardinals Offer Carson Beck a Prime Opportunity
Arizona is one of the teams across the NFL in need of finding a long-term franchise quarterback. If the Cardinals do select Beck, he would be given every chance to become that guy.
During the 2025 college football season with the Hurricanes, Beck completed 72.4 percent of his pass attempts for 3,813 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. He was impressive throughout his entire five-year college career.
Combining his final season at Miami with his first four playing for the Georgia Bulldogs, Beck totaled 11,725 passing yards, 88 touchdowns, and 32 interceptions, while completing 69.5 percent of his 1,390 passes.
On the outside looking in, Beck has the talent and potential to become an NFL starter. An NFL coaching staff will need to develop him, but the base is there for him to be good.
Landing with Arizona would give him a chance to sit out some or all of the 2026 season before having a chance to take over as the starter in 2027.
