@blakemurphy7 Why play Brissett at all? Roll Beck out ASAP, if he’s good, they can skip a QB in ‘27. If he’s not, they’ll have a higher draft pick. Win, win.

👀

@JoeG463 @GuruFantasyWrld I like Kyler and wish him well, but he hasn’t been good in AZ in a while. Maybe not his fault, we’ll find out next season. x.com/SharpFootball/…

@osott66 @GuruFantasyWrld 🔺Offensive Rookie of the Year 🔺2 Time Pro Bowler 🔺3rd in all-time passing yards in the Franchise 🔺First player in NFL history with 70+ passing TDs and 20+ rushing TDs in his first 3 seasons

Imagine CUTTING – not trading – but CUTTING Kyler Murray so you can trot out a QB room of Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew, & Carson Beck in the year of our lord, 2026. Some people have no shame.

@BenGarciaShow He is what he is. Was great with a leader like Chris Paul, but can’t carry a team on his own.

Simultaneously, Devin Booker is 6-16 right now and only has one bucket so far in this 4th quarter. That's not going to cut It for a soon to be $70+ million player. Gotta be better, plain and simple.

@akwong31 Spent last offseason rehabbing his elbow. Couldn’t participate in conditioning or work with team until fall practice started. Had a pretty great year considering.

Carson Beck can be a decent backup with a possibility of being a serviceable starter 🟢 Size (6'4'' 233lbs) 🟢 Willing to take a hit, stands tall in pocket 🟢 Won a lot of games in college (37) 🟢 Enough mobility/speed to escape pressure/carry out read option ⚫️ Average arm talent 🔴 Passes lack velocity (got some hang time with his passes) 🔴 More tipped throws than I would like to see 🔴 Mistakes in crucial moments All in all, there isn't really anything special about his game. I do think the Cards got themselves a smart QB that can be a good game-manager. His mistakes are correctable. He's a low-ceiling QB based off arm talent alone. #AZCardinals have the weapons to help him thrive

@chuckh3 If they only had Simpson and Beck graded as potential starters, why mess around after you already missed out on your first guy?

Looking at some of the names and positions from Round 3, and I believe an argument can be made the Cardinals errored by taking Beck so soon. Not his selection, but where he was selected. On the surface, Ossenfort could have traded back a bit, or taken their 4th and moved up to secure a top-100 OL, EDGE, or WR. Idk if they had any substantive talks, but I get the criticism of using the 65th overall pick on a QB who may only be a career backup.

@AZ_ArmchairGM Half the GMs in the league would get fired every year if their job depended on the success of the previous year’s 3rd round pick.

Will the success (or lack thereof) of Beck get Monti an extension/fired?? Like, can't think Love's success = Monti stays. I'd think that if Beck fails, Monti has to go. But will Bidwill look at the entire class as a whole? Or Beck at 65, which was rich for me.

@blakemurphy7 Yeah, missing out on another season of Kyler check downs. I’m outraged.

If there’s a better option than Tanking or a 38 year old Kirk Cousins I’d love to know what it was tho😆 The only way to improve on Kyler at QB wasn’t taking Simpson at 3 but a 2027 QB and it ain’t close ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@iliketofootball Absolutely! And I’m going to keep telling myself that until proven otherwise.

@osott66 No doubt and should absolutely be expected to return to 100%, probably this season even

I’m not gonna pretend I was a Beck fan this whole time but this overwhelming narrative he has a low ceiling I don’t really understand He wouldn’t have once been viewed as a future Top5 pick if he had subpar tools Whether he reaches that ceiling is tbd but I don’t see a low one.

@HaydenWinks Beck didn’t get cleared to play after his elbow surgery until just before the start of the season. Hopefully he’ll get that strength back the further away he gets from the surgery.

feels like I'm watching Carson Wentz 2025 tape some arm strength and decision making worries

@JaguarGator9NFL Cardinals O line was ranked 16th last year when their top 3 RBs were lost for the season and were a top 10 rushing team the two seasons before last. Love is going to be fine.

Arizona, with their first 3 picks, took a running back behind the worst offensive line in the NFC, then drafted a noodle arm QB after signing Minshew Joke of a franchise

@blakemurphy7 Could use a safety. They’ve got lots of young corners who should be better this year, Ojulari in his first healthy offseason, Burch in year two and hopefully they don’t quit midseason like they did under JG.

Arizona's got needs at LB, Edge, DL, CB/S and the picks have been: -Offense -Offense -Offense -Defensive Line -Offense New coach making an impact. Nick Rallis...god speed.

@2HighCoverage So who were they supposed to spend the money on? The best premium position players available was a Tackle/Guard who needs back surgery. An ILB? Safety? No one wants to trade in this draft. Just a bad year to have pick 3.

It’s really quite simple. By drafting Love top 3 you turn what was supposed to be a 5 year value deal into an immediate fat contract for the shortest shelf-life and injury-prone position in the league. Additionally, this team is going to waste years of that aforementioned shelf life looking for a QB and fixing the OL. Every decision maker in Arizona responsible for this disaster (and not learning from Oakland’s Jeanty selection last year) should be fired. Oh, and I thought Love and Jeanty were the best players relative to their position in their respective draft classes.

@NFL_Convo Defense got 6 of 7 picks last year. Time for those guys to produce.

The Cardinals have made 3 picks and all of them have been offense Let’s not forget that they allowed 28.7 points per game last year (4th Most) I’m genuinely concerned for this defense😬

@iVividz @TheMattPetersen Right after the Suns watched the Nets do it.

@TheMattPetersen Not only that, THEY WATCHED THE SUNS DO IT AND STILL MADE THE SAME MISTAKE

Rockets made an all-in move for Kevin Durant and are now on the verge of being swept in the first round.

@senorjessroot Defense got 6 of 7 picks last year. With new position coaches and the return of injured guys, if that side isn’t at least average, time to find a new GM.

100% is the case. Bad defense, no significant help. Settled on Rallis. Perfect setup to fail.

@blakemurphy7 I’d love it if I never hear anyone talk about the 2027 draft ever again.

Beck is going to be a great backup next year to whoever the cardinals take with their first pick in the 2027 NFL draft

@theo_mackie When you step away from the tanking narrative, the pick makes perfect sense. The league is full of mid QBs that win more than they lose.

Carson Beck under pressure last season, in his sixth year of college football: 28/58, 6.4 yards per attempt, 3 TDs, 3 INTs, 16 sacks Hard to fully understand the logic when the Cardinals need to build the foundation for a franchise quarterback in 2027.

@senorjessroot Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

McCaffrey in SF since 2022. LaFleur was in SF 2017-2020 Gurley in LA 2015-2019. LaFleur in LA 2023-2025 Huh?
