Our final quarterback rinkets for the 2026 NFL draft R&,

and Drew Aller has climbed back inside my top three,

You are locked on NFL draft,

Welcome back to the Locked-on NFL Draft podcast.

I'm Damian Parson.

That's Keith Sanchez.

And on today's episode, we give you our final top 10 quarterback rankings for the 26 NFL draft. We're going to go through QBs 8 through 10, QBs 4 through 7, and we're going to kick the show off with our big three. Keith, it's time to get into our quarterback rankings. These are the quarterback rankings. So at numbers, there's a little bit of a shakeup inside our top, at least aside of mine. Keith, for you, number one, you have Fernando Mendoza, chalk quarterback out of Indiana.

Number two, you have Alabama's Ty Simpson.

And number three, you have Garrett Nussmeyer out of LSU.

Keith, for me, there's a little bit of shakeup in the top three I have Mendoza

number one that didn't change tie Simpson still number two I actually went back

watched Drew Aller I moved him into that QB3 spot Keith and I'm from for him we got to start

there you know we got to start there Keith, with the Drew Aller conversation. I think, and I think a lot of it to me, too, played a part in watching, I don't know if you've seen John Gruden's QB class episodes. That's all that's been on YouTube. Yeah, I I watched who did I watch so far I think I

watched was the Carson Beck one I watched some of that one back Javier um tape green and

Ty Simpson up for sure those the ones I know for sure yeah and some I seen some clips of

tie Simpsons I'll say it is that they, you know, they're pretty good.

I watched the ones last year, too. Like, I watched all of them last year. Pretty good, like, just the insight of, like, kids. No, I love them. You get good information. Absolutely. And you just see kind of, you also see a difference in, okay, you could tell, like, the difference in what these young men are coached to do in college compared to hearing it from an NFL build. It's just like, yeah, no, like, and you could kind of see that kind of, not dear in the headlights, but oh, this is, this is different. You know what I mean? Like, the learning curve is obvious, right? Like, you see the learning curve. Absolutely. Absolutely. And that's why, like, watching the tail in Greenwood was so eye-opening to me because I was like, you know, him being like just listening and watching how that whole thing played out. And I was like, man, I don't think he has Drew out. I would love to see him bring Drew out of there because I felt like that would have been a very similar conversation of like, hey, decision-making, just like attention to detail type of things. But when you are 64, 6-5, 2-30, 240 with that type of arm talent, he can layer the football, you see the thing. Same thing when watching him is crazy because I was like, talked about with Taylor Green, It's the lower body mechanics that throws them off a lot of times.

One of the one of the things John Gruton got them on got on know about, hey, you're mechanics. Like you've got to be consistent. Like your feet are here. You're throwing here. And it's similar things with Drew Aller, heel, cliquiness in the pocket. Things are coachable. And I think, you know, for me, Keith, I was like, you know what?

This isn't a strong QB class.
