2026 NFL Draft

I find it hilarious that having the "highest ceiling" gets you ranked the first overall QB in the draft. Even if Sellers has the highest ceiling (I don't think he does), how often do players actually reach their ceiling...not very often. I think intangibles like reaction time and ability to avoid pressure are just as if not more important than the physical intangibles yet those attributes are totally ignored. Sellers is just a grade younger than Mendoza, but that year of extra youth supposedly makes all the difference in the world. Funny how being young didn't seem to matter when 5th year senior Cam Ward was picked first overall last draft.

Age is only a knock on White QBs these days. Bo Nix was treated like a centenarian for being drafted at the ripe old age of 24. Meanwhile no one gives a hoot about how old black QBs are. Their magical abilities apparently offset any age concerns.

Penix was the same age as Nix yet it was never mentioned nor was he mocked for it. Daniels turned 24 at the end of last season too. Again, only an issue with Nix.

Lanorris Sellers is a fullback playing QB if you ask me. The fact these retards can't look back 2 years ago to see the last unlimited upsider ended up sucking is maddening. Or Trey Lance before that. Just all time busts at the position.

Which is wild because they break down faster. White QBs can play at a high level well into their 30s while blacks don’t.
 
There are undeniably a lot of really good White QBs coming out next year who will be drafted by someone. If they want to push this stiff Sellers, who has played extremely poorly against the likes of South Carolina State, then so be it. A retarded franchise like the Jets or Browns will ended up saddled with him while better franchises will get the White athletes.
 
Yeah the PTB have to be cringing seeing this new QB Class is so melanin deficient and have already seen some claiming this QB Class as a "Down Year" . Must be due to the lack of room brightening smiles. Can't have that ....

Nussmeier is not 100% healthy + O Line bad getting blasted my Ole Miss 3 man rush ; dropping 8 + he hardly runs the a RPO scheme

Carson Beck is playing great tonight as well. He's been good all season. This draft should serve as a market correction of the low to mediocre quality of the past 4 drafts.

I am 100% sold on Allar as well. PSU's offense does him no favors, he will be a 1st round pick. The o-coordinator for PSU Andy Kotelnicki has been the reason for Allar's supposed "regression". He was brought in to elevate the offense but has yet to do anything.
 
Some buzz is starting to form around NDSU QB Cole Payton. If Trey Lance was a first round pick I have no problem stating that Cole Payton should be one as well.

 
As great as Fernando Mendoza is, if he goes #1 overall he'll probably go to the Jets, where QBs go to die. I hope the Jets take some magical upsider instead and Mendoza goes to a real team.

Some excerpts I found:

Listed at 6-foot-2 and 208 pounds, Simpson doesn't have the measureables that many of his counterparts have in this draft class. "His size will hurt him at the very top because teams usually chase ceilings with those QBs early on," an AFC area scout said. But despite only eight career starts, his awareness, pocket maneuverability and decision-making have him ahead of the curve. I have him graded just behind Fernando Mendoza, making him the QB2 in this class. He just needs to be more consistent with his accuracy throughout the entirety of games.

@Snow Plow brought this player up in the weekly thread

Linebacker Jimmy Rolder was a backup and special-teamer in his first three seasons at Michigan, but he's now thriving in a starting role. He jumps off the screen, showing high football IQ, great closing speed, outstanding coverage traits and the ability to be disruptive as a blitzer. He can stick on opponents in man-to-man, but he also routinely makes plays in zone coverage. At 6-foot-2 and 240 pounds, I have Rolder as an off-ball linebacker, but he has the versatility to slide outside, too.

Rolder had 10 tackles, two tackles for loss, a fumble recovery and a sack against Michigan State. He now has 52 tackles on the season. He has quickly become one of the best defensive players on that Wolverines roster, and he's picking up draft interest as a result. Rolder wasn't on the radar before the season, so he's really hard to place in this class. But I'm sure scouts are taking notice of his play, and if he finishes out the season well, Rolder could be an early-rounder. Keep an eye on him.
