I'm a huge Canes fan but Carson Beck is not the answer. The guy does not move the dial for me. All those moon balls he throws will not work in the NFL, pick city. We need some competition at the position but it doesn't need to come from Beck.
Green is definitely the quarterback I'd gamble on after round one. You can't teach his athleticism or size, and see the tight window throws in highlights. I think the Kapernick comp is pretty good. Will he develop enough to beat you from the pocket?Hell no!!!!! I’d rather take a chance on Green or make a trade with Dallas for Milton. If I’m gonna take a chance. I want a super freak!
I’m a big PSU fan and I have never liked Allar (as a QB). There is just something off with him. He can make spectacular throws and look like a dude who has never played QB in the same drive.Not a bad idea.
While he's not exactly what a team is looking for, neither was Brock Purdy. To me, Beck could carve out an Andy Dalton type career.
Most likely a quality backup type, but agree with OP that he could compete in 2026. Beck has a lot of college starts.
Personally, I'd go Allar or Green as higher upside quarterbacks.
Allar is quite a dilemma. I read that as a pitcher he struck out a ton of batters, and walked a ton. Kind of the same with his quarterbacking, the highs and lows. You see the potential, but can he iron things out? Do you gamble on 6-5, strong arm, and decent athleticism?I’m a big PSU fan and I have never liked Allar (as a QB).

Big Canes fan here! For the most part, Beck looks and plays like a pro QB. Played well in big games, but... he can have some bad moments. Big, strong guy with decent arm. Slow in the pocket. Not sure I want that for our next guy. May be a few other guys in Rd 2-4 that could better options such as:Mendoza will be out of our reach and instead of reaching for a QB in the mid teens, what about drafting Carson Beck in the mid rounds to compete with Tua in 2026?
Due to Tua's contract he probably returns next year but with how poorly he has played this year, Carson Beck could probably beat him out.
We also have so many other pressing needs to address in the early rounds of the draft.
After a mid season slump he has played better down the stretch. He threw a bit too many picks 10, for my liking. He did however have the 8th highest passer rating in college football.
His game needs some refinement but he does possess an NFL physical skill set in terms of his size arm strength and decent mobility.

The inconsistency is there, but maybe initially you treat him like Buffalo did Josh Allen as a rookie. One read and run.
Allar is the other one I'd take a chance on.
Absolutely. There's a lot to like and you see it all. As you said, the layered throws, moving and throwing on the run, plus, plus athleticism etc.Green would be my day 2 target as well. He’s got a lot of traits. Big lean guy, as fast as a receiver (elusive at that, good arm talent, soft touch and ball placement where he can layer throws between two defenders. Makes plays inside and outside of the pocket. Never thought he’d have a great 2025 season because Arkansas offensive talent is just so bad. They really didn’t replace Andrew Armstrong or Isaac TeSlaa with suitable options.
There’s a lot to like there. He’s obviously a bit raw but he’s an athlete who can sling the ball all over the field.
I think my current preference would be to take a shot a QB on day 2 in 2026 and plan to draft a QB in the first round in 2027.
