2026 NFL Draft QB Prospect Discussion

[Steelperch]

Everyone is saying next year is a bumper crop for QBs. But is it? I see a bunch of maybes and no sure 100% things, not just yet anyway. There are a few with major skills and potential that the 2025 season will be huge for. Let’s assume the Steelers are smart and don’t reach for a QB this year, and wait to get one next year with the draft in Pittsburgh. Here is who we are watching for in my eyes barring somebody coming out of nowhere with a huge season, which happens.

1. Nico Iamaleava. - Tennessee. Love his arm. Quick release and a ton of power as a passer. Pretty good athlete too, compares to a Justin Herbert type. I think he’s the safest bet in this class. Still a young player with a lot to prove, but he’s the downfield passer that could excel with our current WR group.

2. Arch Manning - Texas NFL legacy, 3rd generation bloodline players. Honestly, that’s about it at this point. He hasn’t even thrown 100 passes at the college level and couldn’t beat out a QB that is probably a 3rd round pick this year. He’s certainly got the size , mobility and arm. He’s got a ton to prove. With a huge season, he can earn the #1 pick, but that’s a big if at this point.

3. Lanorris Sellers - South Carolina sturdily built 6’3 245 pound dual threat QB. He can run it like a Jayden Daniels but is built more like Jalen Hurts. Good accuracy and process pretty quickly for a young guy. Another one who is very inexperienced, but has a huge upside. I think these top 3 QBs are the ones with super high upsides and could/should be franchise QB options. Sellers could end up a top 2 QB selection with a big year. The league loves the mobile QBs who can process a defense and throw it like a pocket passer.

4. Drew Allar - Penn State. Ahhh, fuck me. Drew Allar, what a tease. When he signed with Penn State I told my friends this was the guy who would get Penn State their next National Championship. Maybe the next Ben Roethlisberger type prospect for the NFL, Maybe a guy I’d root for the Steelers to draft. Then I watched his every game for the last couple years and saw him beat up on bad team at State College and absolutely shit the bed against elite teams. Horrendous pocket presence at times and awful accuracy against Ohio State and Michigan. He’s come up small in some big spots. Played better in the college playoffs this year, but when I see bitch I can’t unsee it. He’s got that Josh Allen / Big Ben body type and arm potential with decent enough mobility, I just don’t see the balls and heart I want from my QB unfortunately. I will say, he’s still young and this year is make or break for him in my eyes. Maybe the switch flips and he “gets it” in 2025. I put him at 4 solely on potential and size and arm. He might be 6th in this class if he doesn’t progress. He has the tools to be #1 overall, but the head and heart can’t be measured and I think that’s where he’s been short so far. Again, he’s been thrown in early in his career while some of these other guys have sat. Just win Penn State a national title, you asshole!

5. Cade Klubnik - Clemson well, he played three SeC defenses last year and threw for about 150 yards with 0td and 2 INT vs Georgia and S Carolina. He performed better vs Texas, but still lost and threw a pick. He’s a mid sized mobile pocket passer like a Bo Nix or taller Russell Wilson. He’s thrown 55 tds vs 15 INTS in the last two seasons, but has to show more growth to be a first round pick next year.

6. Garrett Nussmeier - LSU Quick release, quick processor, solid arm. Not the great athlete or huge arm guy like the ones above him, but he throws with little effort and very good accuracy. Just a natural passer of the football. Major concerns over his thinner 200 pound frame coupled with average athleticism. Brady wasn’t an athlete and Brees wasn’t big, but I’m not sure this guy is either of those two. Should be a solid QB, might start for a good while. I’m just not sure he’s a franchise guy who can lead a team to the Super Bowl. Could be another very effective, very accurate, not flashy Brock Purdy type.

You’ve also got Sam Leavitt and Carson Beck amongst others who will be drafted in the top 4 rounds. I don’t see them as being potential first rounders or QBs to build a team around.

[Who Dee Knee]

Thanks for the nice summary Perch. Hopefully 4 or 5 of these guys solidify their status as bona fide potential franchise quarterbacks, with Round 1 grades. And hopefully NHALS ends and we have a Top-15 pick.

The Steelers, unlike the ‘80s, need to keep allocating draft capital to this position until they get it right.

[CKSteeler]

I feel like every off-season people are like it's a bad year for QB's wait till next year. The only year where I was like this is objectively a year for QB's was the year they took Pickett.

A lot of shit changes in how college players are viewed over the course of a season.

I don't follow college football so I refrain from making these judgements. When it comes to QB's, though, i don't believe in strong or weak years. There's usually one legit prospect and a bunch of guys who become bums, anyway.

I guess my point is that you are better off just looking for the one guy you believe is that guy and doing whatever you have to do to get him when he's available no matter what people think.

[Steeldrama]

Every NFL bottom feeder franchise will be adopting some sort of “Tank for Arch” mantra if they haven’t already.

The NY Giants no doubt will be looking to add Eli’s nephew. They are currently the odds on favorite to have the top pick next year with a projected 3-14 record

So even with your Steelers assembling a bounty of comp picks, I’m only guessing that Arch is already off the table and the season hasn’t even started yet (BUT that’s why they play the games). GO RUSS!

What’s nice though is there really are some good name’s on Perch’s list so no need to get pigeon holed into the big name that is Manning.

The fella I like is the trendy Lamar Jackson/Jayden Daniels type in Super Cock Lanorris Sellers. Just a really fun player.

Garrett Nussmeier probably my favorite more traditional QB.
Kid is surrounded by elite NFL talent, but he has some mental toughness having to deal with mega-asshole Brian Kelly.

Did Penn State get Drew Allar any receivers? Any studs in the pipeline??
If not, I don’t know that we see his true ceiling (or floor).

Anyway

The NFL is perennially short on QB talent.

Thankfully, early returns on last year’s bumper QB crop look pretty good (although the Vikings don’t seem sold on their guy JJ).

If the NFL wants to remotely hold my interest, it BADLY needs to hit on this next generation of qbs.

Just for funsies say we combine last year, this year, and next year’s qb class.

What’s your pecking order?

1.) Jayden Daniels
2.) Arch Manning
3.) Cam Ward (???)
4.) Lanorris Sellars
5.) Caleb Williams (?)
6.) Drake May
7.) Bo Nix
8.) Mike Penix (?)
9.) Nussmier
10.) Klubnik
11.) Nico
12.) Drew Allar
13.) JJ McCarthy
14.) Shedeur (Madonna, Prince, Elvis)
15.) Jalen Milroe
16.) Kyle McCord
17.) Will Howard
18.) Jaxson Dart

Cam Ward may be #1 this year but where’s he fitting in overall?

Where’s wildcard Caleb Williams fit in? Does he sink or swim under Wile E, SuperGenius, Ben Johnson?

How legit is Arch (Sark cost himself a Natty not benching crappy ass Ewers)?

Does Nico have enough raw ability to overcome triple chin’s gimmicky offense?

Regardless, I know that Shedeur Sanders, Jalen Milroe etc rank below everyone on Perch's 2026 list so perhaps we’ll get lucky and Tomlin will finally get locked out of the draft room.

Double regardless, even if the Steelers do land a viable franchise caliber QB, the jaded cynic in all of us knows that there's no point to discussing any of this so long as Mike Tomlin in running the show.

IMHO, Iamaleava is very inaccurate. He is the next Richardson but with more starts but he has a year to improve.
Nussmeier is the one I'm highest on. Part of it is that I trust LSU system for a QB rather than Tenn.
Sellars needs some more experience but he could be very good.

I think Beck is a good pocket passer but we will see with the change of scenery.

[Steelafan77]

Great thread discussion and should be a solid discussion going forward.

My opinion? Won’t matter or make a difference who the QB is with a subpar Oline in front of him.

Until they fix the developmental issues on Oline they can keep drafting Oline talent and nothing will change.

I think this coaching staff is about out of excuses for the continual struggles with the Oline positions.

Jones is pass or fail this season. While his transition back to LT doesn’t inspire confidence his career certainly hangs in the balance.

Frazier struggled some and seemed to progress improving as the season went on. Could be a solid center for the foreseeable future.

McCormick had some bad tape. Seemed to struggle a bit more. I believe he deserves to continue to play and develop.

Was McCormick struggling due to being a rookie? Were his struggles related to playing next to Jones who struggled? Both?

Seumalo is long in the tooth. His best days are in the rear view mirror. No real replacement identifiable on the roster. Draft a LG?

Just how much mote time is it going to take? Jones in his 3rd season already the development window is closing fast.

A lot of wild fires burning in the franchise.

[Steelperch]

It’s still early in the process and a lot of these guys are very raw and inexperienced . If Manning‘s last name wasn’t Manning, he might not even be on the list right now. Not to say that he can’t be number one with a monster year.

I look forward to watching all of these guys next year and fingers crossed we don’t reach for another bum in this draft.

[Steeldrama]

Last year may have been the most excited I've ever been for a college football season.

The 12 team playoff and conference realignment had me all sorts of giddy.

This year, I think could be even better because of exciting young quarterbacks LIKE Arch Manning, LIKE Lanorris Sellers, LIKE DJ Lagway, LIKE Dylan Raiola (LONG List).

I realize that Arch Manning would not be getting this much hype if his name were Arch Smith, but I think his small sample size filling in for Crappy Quinn Ewers was impressive.

Even more impressive than his dual threat ability was the reaction of his teammates when he returned to the sidelines.

They DIG him.

He has "IT"

Only Sark himself can mess up Texas winning the Natty.

Similar situation here in UGA country.

The team LOVES Gunnar Stockton (Ryan Puglisi will beat him out)

Rumor around these parts was Carson Beck, his girlfriend, and his Lambos did not endear himself to his teammates (Maaaaybe his WRs dropped an NCAA leading 500 passes on purpose).

Addition by subtraction for my 'Dawgs

Anyway

My motto is to root for the helmet rather than stress over this NIL and transfer portal mess, but deep down it's still the stud players that make football and all sports so enjoyable.

Some will hate just because of his last name, but I think Arch Manning is one of those stud players.

[smithessmokin]

I don't know if you all remember this...but the 2025 NFL QB Draft Class was supposed to be a "wealth" of starting QBs...and look where we are now.

I give Allar next year to show he's got it, or else I agree with you...he'll be an NFL bust.

He did improve this year over last year but still had his WTF moments...like his last pass of the Notre Dame game.

As he is the only QB I have watched every snap for, he's the only one I can comment on.

Edited to add- in his defense, he's had shit receivers to throw to his first two years. Take away Tyler Warren last year and the Lions struggle to even make the playoffs. So far all they have added is Kyron Hudson and Devonte Ross from the portal...need more.

[LakecrestSteeler]

Why can’t we draft a QB two years in a row?

Do you guys think we do not have enough draft capital or the needs are two great to waste 2 #1s on QB?

Can the number 1 used this year not be cashed in if done right next year in preparation for the 2026 draft?

There are so many holes with coaching we might as well waste them on QBs to attract the coaches.

[Dan Smith--BYU]

this is all pointless...

you can purchase the finest ingredients and the most expensive saffron and spices

and the food will taste like shit if the chef and the restaurant owner are incompetent

and they take pride in the fact that they never had a case of food poisoning (culinary NHALS)

This.

Our coaching has gotten so bottom of the barrel it literally matters not who they draft or sign.

All roads lead to the mushy mediocre middle. This team will do anything necessary to not have an awful season. See the idiotic trade for Minkha when they should have been looking to the future without Ben.

They’d do it again it meant finishing 9-8 vs. 8-9.

You should type out your post then pause for 20-30 minutes before hitting the submit button.

Read it. Reflect on it. Figure from there if you should proceed.

You don’t burn 1st round picks on QBs unless you really believe they are 1st round worthy.

Think bout what you are proposing. You are suggesting they spend 3 1st round picks on QBs over 5 years.

Throw in a couple of 1st round pick bust at OT and you are left with a garbage roster and major holes all over the roster.

You also don’t take a guy in the 1st that is really no better than a 3rd or 4th rounder (Popgun Pickett) simply out of desperation when you have so many other holes on the roster only to have to take another QB in the 1st round the following year.

You are left with major holes elsewhere and two 1st round QBs that want to start.

Drafting for need vs BPA gets you Kenny Pickett and two years later still needing a QB.

Drafting for need vs BPA gets you Troy Edwards instead of Jevon Kearse or John Tait.

[jebrick]

McCormick had some bad tape. Seemed to struggle a bit more. I believe he deserves to continue to play and develop.

Was McCormick struggling due to being a rookie? Were his struggles related to playing next to Jones who struggled? Both?

IMHO, McCormick should have never started but was forced to due to injury. He needed a year to get bigger and stronger and was not ready to start.

[jebrick]

Drafting for need vs BPA gets you Troy Edwards instead of Jevon Kearse or John Tait.

I'm glad this still pisses off someone else.

[Dan Smith--BYU]

They could replicate the 1974 Steelers draft this year plus Dan Marino and Deion Sanders clones and finish 5-12.

The lack of talent and commitment is at the very top.

You are talking out of both sides of your pie hole. In one post you are saying it is pointless because there are so many holes to fill and coaching deficiencies, then in the next post you are saying stick to sound proven strategies for getting a QB.

Last year we had 2 QBs and one WR. This year we have 2 WRs and no QBs.

Might as well draft a backup QB and draft a FQB 2 years in a row.

You act like it will implode the masterpiece!

[CKSteeler]

No one named Iamaleava is ever going to be a star QB in the league. I have no idea who he is, but it just isn't going to happen.

[tbsteel]

No one named Iamaleava is ever going to be a star QB in the league. I have no idea who he is, but it just isn't going to happen.

I mean, some probably said the same thing about Roethlisberger.

But yeah, we're drafting a QB this year unfortunately. Hopefully they're all f'n fired soon.

[bradshaw2ben]

I don't know if you all remember this...but the 2025 NFL QB Draft Class was supposed to be a "wealth" of starting QBs...and look where we are now.

Well guys who could have didn't come out for whatever reason.

I think the committee that gives underclassmen a round grade is the problem. They told Tyler Warren and Cam Ward they were 4th round picks last year.

[bradshaw2ben]

All aboard the Talen green show. The perfect scenario would be Arch & Nico coming out and pushing a fantastic prospect like Green down to within range. He fits with what MT wants in a QB but he doesn't have the flaws of the great running QBs who can't throw. He could transcend ay system, plus he's playing under a fantastic offensive coach now in Petrino.

He’s got some Josh Allen size and athleticism, but is pretty erratic at short and intermedia passes. That’s where you make a living in the NFL. He’s got a good deep ball and with our current receivers that’s a big plus. He’s another one next year will be very big for.

Just wait for the Colts to cut Richardson next year if you want Green. Pretty much the same player.

[CoolShades]

The only player that interests me on this list is Arch Manning.

My hope is that Manning has a poor year this year, and decides to come out anyway.

The Steelers then must do whatever they can to draft him.

I trust the Manning family to help develop him. They will not let Arch fail at the NFL level, and if he does, it won’t be for lack of effort and expert coaching and advice from his famous QB family.

Assuming the Steelers have the same shit coaching staff, there isn’t a college QB out there that can develop himself. Forget the nonsense of “high ceiling”, “potential:”, or great athlete”. Those traits will wither and die on any Tomlin-coached roster.

It’s Manning or bust. And Manning will have the gravitas to ignore Mediocre Mike when necessary and his opinion will be taken seriously by the national press.

I've watched Green some. 'IF' he has the mental ability to figure out how to go thru his progressions and read a D, he has a lot of tools to work with, for sure. He reminds me of Kaepernick when he runs (others may say this too). He also had a lot of decent weapons at his disposal last year—this year I'm not sure. That said, I have my doubts he'll ever get it above the neck.

He could transcend ay system, plus he's playing under a fantastic offensive coach now in Petrino.

Just wait for the Colts to cut Richardson next year if you want Green. Pretty much the same player.

Jesus. Just... no. Green is a much better passer... layered throws, accuracy. And Green is also a better, faster runner. More of a threat.

He doesn't have Josh Allen's gun but he's certainly claser to Daniels or Lamar than Richardson.

Don't hate him but his lack of accuracy is a problem. He needs to have a big year.
