Fernando Mendoza has entered the chat. I have had my eye on Mendoza since the pre-season, but wanted to see enough before I moved him into – and to the top of – the 2026 NFL Draft. Well, after dropping 5 touchdowns and completing 21 of 23 passes against a top ten ranked team, Mendoza is the best quarterback in college football, and will be my new number one ranked 2026 draft QB.

Draft order based on power rankings, until week 8 or 9. After that, I will move to the “if the draft was today” NFL Draft order.
