Way too early look at the 2026 QB class

So basically Anthony Richardson?!


Oddly enough, Sellers more so reminds me a bit of Dante Culpepper.

 

OUCH!
Damn @Steelpens65

 

oregons qb is returning to school i saw. this class isn't very good at the position. we made a good move with howard last year to all those that said just wait for this draft. fill the voids with this draft and possibly get another mid round guy. mccown UTSA? diego pavia? < i like this kid.

 

I like Pavia as a college QB. Not a long list of QBs his size that had long NFL careers. Not saying he won't. Just saying he's a long shot.

 

He has had a hard time this season so far. BUT....the oline has done him ZERO favors!!!

 

I broke this situation down a while ago.

 

That's the thing though... Will he get better development going to the NFL to a team that is willing to let him sit out a year? Are there even any college coaches that are known for truly developing QB's like him into NFL readiness? Is it worth risking going back to school and getting injured/performing poorly and losing the draft pedigree?

If he is set to be a first round pick... then he should go to the draft. This is a weak QB class and he might be considered a top 2-3 QB in the class. Look at what happened with Allar... The Browns likely would've drafted him at 2 had he come out last year. Now he played poorly and got hurt, so he's a day 2 pick now? Went from a first rounder (possible top 5) to being a 2nd-3rd round pick (and likely gets drafted there for his physical tools) or even a day 3 pick altogether.

 

I have unfortunately. For that matter, he is a mix between both Dante and Anthony; unbelievably gifted but unfortunately underdeveloped. Again, as I have been on record in stating this summer, unless LaNorris tore the SEC apart, he wouldn't be declaring.


Should he declare, all that would confirm is that is agent has been notified or least given hints from the NFL Draft Advisory Board that Sellers will be a First Round Pick; Top 20 specifically. Roughly 7.5% of all draftees are recognized by this very same board as First Round talents. Even fewer are considered Top 20.


Overall, I don't think his finite mechanics, basics and fundamental aspects of the position are incapable of being developed; an issue I had with Richardson. It is just that, they are not starter worthy at this time. Coincidentally enough, Pittsburgh would be an ideal spot should Aaron Rodgers return along with Arthur Smith returning as well.



Among the Offenses that Sellers would thrive in, Arthur Smiths heavy usage of either Play Action or bootleg roll out plays is where Sellers shines brightest.

 

As it stands as of 11-8 25, the Steelers will have no shot at Simpson, Moore, amd Mendoza. All three players will be top 15 picks.

We should not reach for a QB in round one.

But round two might have Mateer, Stockton, and the intriguing Robertson to choose from in round two.

 

Doesn't look like it's lining up how we hoped. From what McShay is hearing, Moore is a lock to go back to Oregon. I'm not sure Simpson comes out either. Mateer probably going back after that thumb. Sellers and Arch arent ready. This class is drying up fast. Next year, could be huge. Throw in Sayin, Lagway, and Nico as possibilities.

Doesn't look like the year. Bring back Rodgers maybe and keep developing Howard. If they aren't there, they aren't there.

Yeah, they'll have a shot at guys like Allar, Nuss, and Beck but I'm not thrilled about them. Mendoza will be long gone.

 

I am sure 75% sure Simpson comes out in 2026. That sucks on Moore.

Mateer may come out. Much depends on how he finishes the season.

Keep an eye on Roberston.

Haynes King has the feet on a cornerback, and some passing ability. If he closes the year strong he is in the conversation for day two.

 

Dante Moore declaring wasnt gonna happen anyhow. I still also dont believe that Sellers is declaring either though I was on record in stating so this summer. Should he declare?!


Someone is gonna take a chance on him. He'd better return to College and transfer out.

 

This is gonna piss off a lot of people but I honestly dont forsee a point in time during the 2026 NFL Pro Day that Drew Allar is not brought in for a Pre Draft Visit. As far as his overall traits and tools?! By no means a LaNorris Sellers but the dude is way too gifted in terms of Arm Strength and overall Arm Talent not to take notice.


Like Tyler Shough, he is going to go much earlier than others think.

 

Fat fingers for that.


As for Allar?! Nor do I. I am saying though he isn't getting past Round 3. He has flaws but there is too much arm strength and arm talent to work with; his youth no less.

 

Aren't Penn State players considered local visits for pre draft?

 

As it stands now they have (3) 3rd round picks (I think). I could see them selecting Allar in this round.

 

Correct.


Penn State is well within the 50 Mile Radius rule within the Pre Draft Guidelines. It will not count towards a Pre Draft Visit. I stated such for I don't forsee a possibility in which the Steelers don't bring him in.

 

A QB possibility is Darian Mensah from Duke. He is completing 70% of his passes with 21 TD's and only 2 interceptions. He still has 2 more years of eligibility left but it looks now like the 2026 class isn't that great and he could take advantage of that and come out this draft.

 

Stop it.
Like saying Candyman 3 times
Please don’t encourage the Steelers
This qb has a lot of problems
He is in between
Anthony Richardson
And
Justin Fields
Not a favorable place to be
I am beginning to think you fall for these Athletic qbs?

 

You sure are high on Sellers
What am I missing?!?!
Pocket presence awful
Will take a 20yd sack instead of getting rid of ball
Long ball great coz he throws a fastball on every throw
Intermediate and short passes
Awful
Coz of no touch passes, once again fastballs
Tries at times to do too much
Resulting in turnovers
In closing, I wish Sellers the best. He plays for my Gamecocks!
Really needs to come back next season, whether for Gamecocks or another team.
OL hasn’t helped, but we had many qbs that played behind very porous OL at SC.
Conner Shaw
Spencer Rattler, who threw for 6 tds against #5 Tennessee
SC not known for good OL

 

To me this is a mute point
As long as we have this coaching staff I have no faith they will develop a qb.
I realize I will get blowback, but it is my opinion

 

Has a lot less to do with me liking Sellers. Has a lot more to do with what the Modern NFL needs in their QBs. Sellers checks a lot of boxes. For that matter, Josh Allen sure as hell wasn't this accurate at Wyoming and Lamar Jackson had Pocket Prescene, Pocket Poise and Pocket Management Issues that would make LaNorris look like Patrick Mahomes in comparison.


Regardless, I have been on record this Summer and will say so again; LaNorris Sellers isn't declaring. Had he and South Carolina tore the SEC a new one?! Different story.
