The 2026 NFL DRAFT QB derby watch!
-
Maybe he'll see past the Red and Orange now.?
JMO, if Cal could ever get out of his own way - he's very good at researching various football subjects and putting together interesting posts. The Lancelot for Cheesecakes act gets silly. Nobody in here rooted against him when he was a Cleveland Brown...

Hard to tell on pin 5 but that is near my neck of the woods in Chattanooga. Maybe Cloudland Canyon in NW Ga. Maybe Guntersville in NE Alabama?
Yeppers....#5 is Cloudland Canyon SP, never been there but looking forward to it. We are currently at Hungry Mother SP in Virginia, very nice.

Bacon, eggs, hash browns & the Browns tomorrow morning. Maybe a Bloody Mary, depending on the opening series lol.
Not sure what that means. Does it mean that if we do well you will have a Bloody Mary, or does it mean if we don't you might have six?

Lol yes on both.
Call me crazy but I have a feeling the Browns upset the Vikings this morning. The Browns might have made a good decision on starting Gabriel overseas, although that Vikings D looks tough.
Flores is 4-0 vs rookie QBs, so he's due for a loss?

Safe to say the 2026 QB class hasn’t exactly knocked any of our socks off.
Well there’s another 6’5” Big Ten QB playing Oregon, this time it’s Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza. Indiana plays at Oregon Saturday at 3:30.

? & ? Not to worry, the other 6'5" QB has the monopoly on research papers endorsing him in here. That said, all of them are from just 1 guy.
Wow! That COULD be a real fun game to watch from the Northwest at 3:30. It'll be interesting to see if Indiana has the footspeed to compete on defense. If Illinois didn't already get Nut-crackered by Indiana - I'd say they have an intriguing matchup with Ohio State.

I'm sure the 'experts' will crown a few QB's as must have players to trade up for once draft season starts next January/February. We've got 12 games to figure out if we should be in the QB draft derby.
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -

I don't think the Browns will have to trade UP with their pick for a QB... If anything, maybe trade DOWN.

After losing to a beat to death Vikings offense...it's easy to feel like we're headed to the #1 overall pick. But I think that the team will be getting better as the season goes on. Unless the OL gets even worse.
As crazy as it sounds, we're not out of the running for the division title. But we'll have to sweep the rest of the division games.

We have used up basically 5 picks on QB's over the last 4-5 years.
We need to beef up some areas to surround any new QB or the ones we currently have.
Until we do that, we are just going to keep chasing QB's. I am a BPA guy when it comes to the draft, but somewhere inside those parameters, we need to come out of next years draft with 2 Olinemen and a WR after round 2.
Unless we are talking a late round pick, selecting a QB early is moronic for this team.

Somewhere Quinn Ewers has to be chuckling to himself considering all the hate he got for “blocking superstar Arch” last season.
-
Trade deadline coming up this would be the right time to send maybe a 3rd round pick and grab a decent offensive tackle.
we treat these picks like gold but I don’t want three rookies next year on the offensive line
-
We currently have 10 draft picks for the 2026 draft...including three 5th round picks.
Considering we need about two of everything, the more picks the better

I hear you. Do the Bills have another younger Wyatt Teller they can give us for 5th round pick?

Zak Zinter being pretty much worthless and Dawand Jones being pretty much made of glass below the waist has really screwed this team regarding the future of the OLine. At least Luke Wypler might be able to step in for Pocic.

It's like Noah's Arc preparing for a storm...

So, "allar is a bum" because of his dismal performance loss to Oregon ?
then "manning is a bum" because of his dismal performance against Ohio State?
NO.
Their offenses were playing two of the most dominant defenses in all of college football.
btw, I was also right about Matt Leinart, who Tiam and a few others, labeled as the "most NFL ready pocket passer in college football".
Oh, I admit I ridiculed that. and Matt Leinart was not going to be "another Dan Marino" LOL LOL.
We'll see how the rankings play out.

The guy who liked Matt Leinart was Shep quite a while before @tiamat63 arrived. Around the same time though - you were annoying him with your Queer Eye for Charlie Frye. That was harmless fun though...
Regarding Allar, beating up on all those inferior opponents with losing records isn't gonna save James Franklin from getting fired or the perception of Allar when he faces equivalent competition and loses. Beating up Tic Tac Toe Tech doesn't matter at all here. Not ALL his fault; but teams looking for a QB to transcend their program don't want to see as many "yeah but" alibis as you're willing to except for him. This doesn't mean some team can't draft him and have success. It just means the right team has to do it and I'm guessing they need something better than what the Browns have railroaded themselves to at the OT positions for way too long. 3 years of IR at LT had our FO announces they're looking forward to a healthy recovery and getting him back in action. What action? That's been the problem for our big feller that can't even bend at a spot that usually faces the opponent's best pass rusher. WR hasn't gone much better in the draft for this FO just yet. Tillman is a possibility if he can ever stay healthy.
As much as this team finally had it's 1st good draft - the FO neglect on the OL is inexcusable. Bitonio hinted about retiring last year and returned for 1 more year. Teller is going to be expensive to keep. Wypler looks ready to step in at Center if/when needed. No more 32 year old solutions like Cornelius Lucas please or Cam Robinson or poor #72 feeling like he's getting less respect than Rodney Dangerfield ever got. This mess is cloudier than Van in Cheech & Chong's Up in Smoke movie.

FWIW, Dane Brugler of the Athletic has these guys as his top 3 college QBs at the moment.
1. Dante Moore, Oregon
2. LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina
3. Fernando Mendoza, IndianaMy evaluations of Sellers and Mendoza haven’t changed much since the summer. Sellers’ numbers aren’t eye-popping, but he makes plays on each tape that remind you how different he is. One more season in college for the 20-year-old QB’s continued development would be ideal, but he still belongs near the top of this year’s rankings.
After transferring from Cal to Indiana, Mendoza was a top-20 prospect on my summer board, and he hasn’t disappointed. His physical traits aren’t remarkable, but his accuracy and football IQ are evident every time I study his game.
The newcomer here is at No. 1, despite having a smaller sample size. Based on his five starts in 2025, Moore is on a first-round trajectory with a 14-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio and numerous plays on tape that scream “NFL quarterback.” There were several times against Penn State when it fell to Moore to rescue his offense, either with his arm or legs.
I’m not bailing on LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier, but his eval is currently in limbo because of his injuries. Alabama’s Ty Simpson has only five career starts, but he might finish among the top three quarterbacks based on how he has played so far. And I didn’t grade Penn State’s Drew Allar or Clemson’s Cade Klubnik as first-rounders entering the season, so it should be no surprise neither was in consideration here.
Arch Manning should be viewed as a 2027 (or 2028) prospect at this point.
