Way too early look at the 2026 QB class

Did Moore say that he isn't declaring? I think not declaring for him would be a massive mistake. Same for Sellers. If both players are going to be drafted in the first round (in Moore's case he might go top 10), then why go back and risk injury and poor play? This is a very weak QB class at the top. Simpson, Moore, and Mendoza are all the top prospects and its pretty likely all will be drafted early. Sellers won't likely make it out of the first either. Both should declare imo.

Wild to see how a "high end class" turned into a bad class over the course of like 8-10 weeks.

 

A bad class? Asside for the players you mentioned.

Manning needs more seasoning time.

Allar needs a new head coach and OC. He needs better receivers, but he is an arm talent. He is also out for the year. A bit hyped.

Mateer lost his mojo.




Okay, but Stockton is an option for us in round one if he comes out. Worth a gamble for us.

Robertson is an intriguing player to consider in round two

King is a super foot athlete, who is passing for a lot of yards recently. Another guy to consider for round two.




Guys need to work out and have their combines and pro days first.

The top 5 QB prospects need to be drafted in round one because he won't be there in round two late for us.

 

Personally I don't love Stockton. Undersized dual threat QB... I think that him and Mateer are similar guys and Mateer has more tools to work with. Honestly Stockton is a Day 3 pick to me, but he has eligibilty for 27, so I see him going that route. Don't see much upside for him in the NFL. IDK much about Robertson. King is a poor man's Justin Fields. If we want King, we can get him Day 3 or UDFA. Another dual threat guy that is going to have a hard time adjusting to the NFL passing game.

Really the Round 2 guys are Sorsby, Nussmeier, Klubnik, Maiava, Mateer and Allar... At least at this point. Allar's tools are too good for him to fall too far, but I could see him go late 2 or early 3. The others are all just dependent on what teams are thinking/wanting with their guys. I don't think all will go round 2, some will drop to round 3... but those are the guys that are most likely. Mendoza, Moore, Simpson, and Sellers are the only real round 1 possibilities.

Next year's class looks far more exciting than this years (though we thought this year's class was supposed to look good and look how that turned out). Marcel Reed, Julian Sayin, Arch Manning, DJ Lagway, Dylan Raiola, Sam Leavitt, CJ Carr, etc. Hell, the top 4 prospects in this year's draft all have eligibility for next year, so maybe one of them stays... Though, with a poor QB class this year, I'd expect all 4 to declare, even if they are hinting at returning. Heck, even some of the guys that I consider decent prospects this year have eligibility for next in Sorsby and Maiava. Next year's class could be absolutely killer. This year's class looks bad past the top couple guys.
