2026 Draft: Quarterbacks

Shough a franchise QB? I am curious if there has ever been a QB drafted at age 25 or older who ended up as a HOFer.

The second year is the true test.
 
I think Mendoza locked in the no 1 pick tonight.
Mendoza looked great. He could crash and burn in one of the next two games like Simpson did today. Young kids, they can be volatile.
 
So not really looking at QBs by I am trying to figure out the top 3 guys. I was seeing mocks before where all 3 went kind of early. Now I am seeing Simpson fall to the last pick of round 1 or into round 2.

Obviously not so good for us unless someone wants to trade up with us and we want out of the pick. Any idea if this is just wishful thinking by fans or if this is how GMs actually might feel about things? Personally I am always skeptical about QB drops like this... particularly in drafts that are not all that strong.

Simpson had a really bad end to the season to the point where a first round pick would be a surprise. The prevailing narrative now seems to be that he should probably go back and transfer to another team. He hasn't hit the portal yet so maybe that suggests he will declare. Dante Moore is going to be making an interesting decision too.
 
Missouri QB Beau Pribula may have plenty of issues on the field, but he apparently seems to have his **** together off the field…

I think Nix is the 1st. lol
 
Is the Oregon QB staying or going?? I think the Jets are interested regardless of his last game.
 
Somebody knows something.
There were reports last week that Raiola was prepared to sit a year behind Moore should he come back to school. That does seem a little unlikely to me though in these era of the transfer portal where he could play somewhere this year and then transfer to Oregon next year.
 
Is C Beck the #2 QB now?? What's the take on him can he be a Quality Starter or career backup??
