What Teams Need QBs in the 2026 NFL Draft?

[Ogie Ogilthorpe]

It's early, but it ain't that early....

Jets
Browns
Raiders
Saints (?) - Rattler has actually looked okay and kept the Saints competitive, but likely not the answer
Browns

Teams that probably need to think about it;

Panthers - Bryce Young looks pretty good at times, but not to so much other times. He'll have the rest of the season to make his case

Cardinals - Kyler Murray. Somewhat oft-injured, Brissett played in his absence today and looked pretty good despite being outmatched against the Colts. The Cardinals need to at least draft a QB on Day 2 of the draft you would think

Steelers - Rodgers ain't playing forever, and it's hard to imagine them doing much with Rudolph

Dolphins - It's hard to imagine the Dolphins sticking with Tua long-term, even without the concussion history. Tua has a massive cap hit next year and dead cap hit. They are in trouble there, and their cap issues with Tyreek Hill won't help them either

The draft class looks real blah and unpolished.

Moore, Mendoza, Sellers, ?Simpson

Can’t say I’d want to be picking high if those are my choices

Nussmeier hasn't exactly been lighting it up this year, either. Things can always change but it's not shaping up to be a stellar QB class.

favorite part is last year's projected guys are....

Arch Manning #1
Cade Klubnick #2
Sam Leavitt #3
Drew Allar #4
Sellers #5

or
Nussmeier #1
Allar #2
Klubnick #3
Sellers #4
Mendoza #5
Leavitt #6


which tells you all you need to know about this class sucking coming in and basically everyone who was under consideration being bad this year. If you end up at 1, absolutely one I'd try trade down.

On a Vikes note, would love it if Downs fell to where the Vikes are picking. Perfect replacement for Smith and about as near a can't miss prospect as you can get imo.
