Prediction Market Puts Carson Beck as Cardinals’ Likely No. 3 Pick

Polymarket’s pricing positions the Miami quarterback above scouting consensus ahead of Arizona’s decision at No. 3.

Overview

Polymarket assigns Beck a 41% chance to be drafted third overall by Arizona, making him the market favorite for that slot.
Consensus evaluators place him far lower, including No. 99 on the NFL Mock Draft Database and a “late Day 2/early Day 3” grade from Mel Kiper Jr.
Arizona owns the No. 3 pick after a 3-14 season, has uncertainty around Kyler Murray following limited 2025 action, and has undergone a coaching change.
Social media reaction features pushback from fans who doubt Beck as a top-three selection despite his 2025 production at Miami.
The NFL Scouting Combine and medical checks are expected to be the next major factors in resolving the gap between market odds and scout grades.
