Beck's 65th-pick cost and game-manager profile suggest slow NFL ramp; camp struggles may not matter.
Third-round rookie QB (65th pick) drafted above his market value due to the quarterback tax; unlikely to produce immediately given his background as a game manager on talent-rich programs (Georgia, Miami) rather than an elite prospect. Early training camp struggles raise concerns about the Cardinals' confidence in deploying him if they need to move beyond Jacoby Brissett, though the source questions whether camp performance truly predicts NFL readiness for a rookie QB in this situation.

He has been… a third round rookie. That is most rookie quarterbacks are taken before they deserve to be taken as part of paying the quarterback tax, you pay it by having to over invest. So, for a player like Carson Beck, he probably wasn't worth the 65th pick, but if the Cardinals wanted a quarterback they had to pay that price. That also means he likely wouldn't light things up immediately, especially coming from a program that had just a lot more talent than their opponents most of the time.
