It’ll be another rebuilding year for Arizona.
The Cardinals took running back Jeremiyah Love with the No. 3 overall pick in last month’s NFL draft, making him the highest draft pick at his position since Saquon Barkley was taken by the New York Giants at No. 2 in 2018. In the second round, they took experienced offensive lineman Chase Bisontis, adding a powerful 6-foot-5, 315-pounder who projects as a potential starter at right guard in his rookie season.
Then in the third round, they took Miami quarterback Carson Beck, who played six college seasons and led the Hurricanes to the cusp of a national championship before falling to Indiana in the title game.
Beck joins an Arizona quarterback room that is a little crowded, but also low on high-ceiling options.
Veteran Jacoby Brissett started the final 12 games of last season after Kyler Murray’s foot injury, piling up big numbers but finishing with a 1-11 record. The 33-year-old has made 65 starts in 10 seasons in the league.
The team’s other experienced quarterback is Gardner Minshew. He’ll be 30 years old later this week and has bounced between five NFL teams in seven seasons.

The two have a combined 37-75 record as a starting quarterback.
Beck is the Cardinals’ highest selection at quarterback in the draft since Murray was taken with the No. 1 overall pick in 2019, bringing huge expectations after winning the Heisman Trophy during his final college season at Oklahoma. Murray was the AP’s Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2019 and a two-time Pro Bowl selection, but struggled with injuries and could never win consistently.
He had a 38-48-1 record as the starter over seven seasons, leading the team to the playoffs once in 2021. Now he’s with the Minnesota Vikings.
The Cardinals finished 3-14 last season, which resulted in the firing of third-year coach Jonathan Gannon.
LaFleur — who is the brother of Packers coach Matt LaFleur — was hired after three seasons leading the Los Angeles Rams offense. Now he’s got an intriguing prospect to work with.
