Most mock drafts out there are dumping in quarterbacks by the boatload. I get it, quarterbacks generate clicks. But I need to see more from Dante Moore, John Mateer and others before I move them up to the 2026 class. Fernando Mendoza looks like the only sure thing so far, and even he is more on a Jared Goff level than an Andrew Luck.

Draft order is based on my power rankings. Once we hit the mid point of the season, it will move to the “if the draft was held today” draft order.
