Cowboys Eyeing Miami QB Carson Beck for 2026 Draft
8 Apr
Summary
- Cowboys may target Miami's Carson Beck in fifth round of 2026 NFL Draft.
- Beck, a transfer from Georgia, shows anticipation and decisiveness.
- Dallas seeks QB2 development, potentially mirroring Cooper Rush's path.
The Dallas Cowboys are evaluating options to strengthen their quarterback depth for the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft. With Dak Prescott as the established starter, the team has backups Joe Milton and new acquisition Sam Howell, but ESPN analyst Ben Solak suggests targeting a quarterback in the middle rounds.
Solak proposes using the Cowboys' fifth-round pick, No. 152 overall, on Carson Beck, who played college football at Georgia before transferring to Miami. Beck is noted for his ability to play within himself when protected, showing anticipation, decisiveness, and precision.
While Beck has maturity and big-game experience, some believe he might be drafted earlier due to his recruiting status. Solak, however, remains skeptical about his potential as a starting NFL quarterback but sees him as a potentially strong backup choice for Dallas. This approach contrasts with recent developmental strategies focused on traits, potentially aligning with the success seen with Cooper Rush.
