Reading the latest Athletic report on Beck's injury, it mentioned an evaluation that I had not previously seen, which is that (pre-injury) Beck was viewed as a Round 3-4 QB. Dane Brugler is pretty good at his job, so this isn't just an arm chair draft blogger.
Given that portal season opens up serious discussions about capital allocation, is there any serious discussion about the potential of having NIL funds on hold for Beck to make a final decision?
I know there may be some added awkwardness internally if the team rallies behind Gunner and gets a ring with Carson injured, but I was curious if any people in the know were aware of this even being considered.
Without any disrespect intended, I have my own doubts that Carson will ever truly be a viable 1st round QB prospect. But if his dream is to be a starting NFL QB, it would probably be worth delaying another year given that 3rd rounders very really have the opportunity to prove themselves in the league (fair or not.)
For reference, if he were taken in the middle of the third round, his first contract would be a little over 6 mil for 4 years, with north of $2.5 million his first year (including a signing bonus.)
Obviously, the injury could further diminish his draft potential.
I feel much better about Georgia's playoff situation with Gunner than I do about the spot Beck is in right now. Really hate it for him.
