With the 2026 NFL Draft less than two weeks away, quarterback-needy teams are finalizing their boards. This year's class is considered the deepest at the position in nearly a decade, with at least five signal-callers projected to go in the first round.
Colorado's Shedeur Sanders remains the consensus top quarterback after a stellar junior season that saw him throw for 4,200 yards and 38 touchdowns. Close behind is Miami's Cam Ward, whose combination of arm talent and mobility has drawn comparisons to Patrick Mahomes.
Other notable names include Georgia's Carson Beck, Penn State's Drew Allar, and Alabama's Jalen Milroe. Teams picking in the top 15 have been working the phones aggressively, with multiple trade scenarios reportedly in play.
