I think there could be more than 3 this year. FA will possibly clear up who is definitely drafting a qb.

There definitely are. The problem being the talent of QBs this year.   Titans and Giants are for sure looking in the draft.  Raiders likely too, plus the Browns and Jets could be looking or their eventual replacement of their troubled starters beyond 2025 while sitting the rookie a year.  A dark horse could be the Steelers.

Like I've said before, this is a bad year to be needing a franchise QB. A backup?  Sure, there's some decent candidates out there.

I think teams will want a good qb and hope they could turn into the franchise qb. Finding a franchise qb is just luck of the draw. There's a possibility that Cousins and Rodgers end up on 2 of those needy teams and they choose to wait until the second round to take a developmental qb to start down the road like the Falcons did. Would it be crazy if the happened to Cousins twice in back to back seasons.

Beck may back out of the NFL draft if he can pull a lucrative NIL deal.  He went into the portal today.  The 2026 QB draft keeps getting deeper and deeper.  Not a huge Beck fan, but one more year of growth may change my mind.

I said after last off season I was high on beck but he was making some questionable off field choices that would make me think twice about him.  Driving around in a lambo all things considered was a head scratching move for sure

He's heading to the U. It must be nice to buy the best QB in the portal every year.  I doubt he can duplicate what Cam Ward did thought.

Just a small sample of 2026.

I'm tell you all, unless Bryce can put an entire season together like his last several games this year, I'm all over that 2026 QB class.  Beck will be in there too as he will be out of eligiblity.

The kid from South Carolina has a ton of potential as well.  His skill set is off the charts.  Needs a lot of seasoning

Alberto Mendoza is another 2026 QB to watch. Transferred to Indiana from Cal. Big QB that can run and throw. He will replace Kurtis Rourke in that high powered offense.

One word to describe next year's QB draft class...DEEP!  To me, this is Bryce's make or break year.  The organization probably doesn't feel that way and will likely anoint him as the starter to at least 2027 no matter what.  Some of these dude's will likely stay in college, but the bulk of them will be coming out.  Manning and Sellers are two probably staying. That's not to say that the 2027 QB class will be crappy or thin, because I honestly don't know.  It usually does skip at least a year--or more, but rarely two bumper crops of QBs in consecutive years.

Todd mcshay is doing a deep dive each week on the top propects.  Although he likes manning as a top guy he doesnt think he is coming out but he absolutey raves about Cade, Sellers and Garrett n.

 

Cade is the jack of all trades, does everything kindof well, Garrett is the big game hunter that has pin point accuracy, and sellers is the wildcard, the tools and arm is simply off the chart.  So adding in Manning and allar this class has unreal potential
