The 2026 NFL draft saw ten quarterbacks selected, with Fernando Mendoza going first to the Raiders and Garrett Nussmeier last to the Chiefs. The class initially had high expectations but faced a decline due to underwhelming performances in the 2025 season. Mendoza joins a strong Raiders team with Kirk Cousins as his mentor, likely starting as backup but seen as the future. Ty Simpson, taken by the Rams at thirteen, will initially back up MVP Matthew Stafford. Carson Beck, selected by the Cardinals at sixty-five, will compete for snaps with Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew, supported by a robust offense. Drew Allar went to the Steelers at seventy-six, potentially challenging Aaron Rodgers if he leaves. Cade Klubnik, traded up for by the Jets at ten, will serve as developmental backup to Geno Smith. Late-round gems like Taylen Green, selected by the Browns at eighty-two, will vie for practice squad spots or backup battles in competitive rooms. These rookies will face immediate NFL pressure, some learning under legends, others fighting for reps right away.
