Ranking top five NFL teams expected to actively pursue QB in 2026 draft: Browns equipped to reload at position

Only had two quarterbacks selected in the first round 2025 NFL DraftAnd not all teams with the clear quarterback needs picked on the passage in the late April.

Now, in 2026 draft type of quarterbacks seems to be loaded, headlined by Texas’ Archi Manning, South Carolina’s Lanorris Sellers, Penn State’s Allar and Arizona State’s Sam Leaitt.

With Wrote this article for 2025 Draft in May 2024I have listed following clubs: Steelers (as a honest mention of and still not long term solution in the roster), Dallas Cowboys (who was signed by the great extension), the raiders, breaks and giants.

How titans and chemical, the above-mentioned clubs ultimately closely linked to all quarterbacks in the free agency and in 2025 draft.

Willa 2026 edition of this lookahead article to provide as clear from the picture that proved at a year ago?

Always be a small collection of clubs, eager to address the most vital situation in the field in a draft.

Let’s pinpoint them teams right now.

Honorable Mention: New Orleans Saints

Saints just spent a top 40 reading in quarterback – Louisville’s Tyler Skough, who you’ll be 26 in September, which is the main problem with a long time of viability to the new orleans. They will be the last player to be born in the 1990s (or 1900, but you want to look at it), as selected in the NFL draft.

Certainly, Sough hit the saints do not have an answer is not looking for when pulled Breie withdrew. I do not feel fantastic of the fact that it is enough to get rookie, with this correctly sterile orleans roster around him, to all suggestions of the saints to be in the 2026 quarterback draft market.

Why firmly in a honest mention of a slot.

V. New York Jets

Entering the Mass appear comfortable entering 2025 time with a new head coach and Justin fields in quarterback. AGRI one of the more polarizing Young sign-callers on football. I believe you usually know what we have with him in this stage after 1,110 passing into his NFL Protection.

Is there any room for growth at this stage? Absolutely. Fields just recently turned 26 years old. When the “full-time starter in 2022 and 2023, averaged right around 7.0 yards by effort to turn around 60% completion rate, this is clearly substandard in today’s NFL.

While there’s no hesitation of running capabilities – and ran up to 1,100 yards in 2022 and bring 6.0 Cubits-by-carry average in 2025, and life and in the power of 11.9 in life quick and in your life act. While its sack rate fell in each of the past three times in 9.04% rate in limited sample as Steelers Starter in 2024 would be to qualify.

All this is to say – I think fields can be a slavery bridge quarterback (and the same thing is true for the most wonderful tyrod taylor) with megais. I don’t feel confident in the fact that the new york long-term solution to the shotgun? No. New GM Darren Mugey will probably be motivated buyer in the next year’s draft type in quarterback.

The rams did not. They are at the same time a Crater Conferter – do not forget these things near to the beat eagles in the division of – and get out of the first-in pick in 2026 draft.

While GM les senead eyes surveen when I heard of hookers offer to move into a ram spot in No. 26 Overall, just to not only don’t refuse offer. However, it was a strategic course with the quarterback situation in the mind that Mt. Staffords entering the age of 37 times. So, it is recently fixed Matthew Stafford, but when it comes with the hefty dead cap hit, and the rams could act unless the nearest to $ 7 million, if the veteran is released after 2025. And, Heck, even if it’s retained by the duration of his two years deal, the mentor to the rookie quarterback.

Armarium head coach Sean McVay has climbed NFL mountain. I have ring. After a flirement with the first retirement after his own victory, building rams with another quarterback – this time homegrown and potential two handpicked in the draft in McVay and Snead two – Head coach.

Anthony Anthony Daniel Jones, Leon Leonard and Jason beans currently include the chickens’ current quarterback location. Who emerge like starter in one of the most smooth and uncertain quarterback rooms in the NFL? If the thing again: Go on the side of Indianapolis – This club is not advanced at Postseason with 2020 – I will not shrink if you head coach Renault or Steichen and GM Chris Ballard retained to 2026.

In this case, a new head coach and new GM will be directly set in picking a quarterback in the draft, three years after Richardson was selected with No. 5 Overall pick.

Ranking 10 Worst QB Rooms in NFL and predicting who will start a week 1: Steelers, Colts, Browns on

2. Pittsburgh Steelers

There are Steelers and Aaron Rodgers still play the longest game of the cat and mouse? It is also perhaps Rodgers is Pittsburgh’s Saturday 1 Starter in September? Or are steelers prepared to trot of Cicero Rudolph – A capacity bridge-type option – in an AFC with Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Justin Herbert?

Or street in steelers firmly in the quarterback market in a draft in 2026. And they don’t have to be. Rodgers is almost certainly only one year if And signs in 2025. Rudolph, even if you do not continue to climb, turns 30 in July and do not even reach the average degree in any physical characters in today’s standards. It’s Groundbreaking – The Steelers and Draft on Quarterback in 1 in 2026.

I Cleveland Browns

If Steelers going quarterback in the next year’s draft feels obvious, in browns “probably intentions in the first year, could not be more telegraphed. I don’t move up to No. I went to pick the pen orphans. I passed on Jaxson arrow, then picked Dillon Gabriel in around 3 and sanders in around 5 in one of the stones of the draft classes I can remember.

Gabriel and Sandos could prove valuable to get rookies, but they have to beat the Kenny pickty and especially Joe Flacco first, a born most of us would be considering more surprise. Owners of Jaguars’ 2026 first-round reading, Cleveland placed himself up on the board – if you need – the shooter desired quarterback in the draft Next April.

At some point, this organization will find its franchise savior to the game’s most vital situation. The best possible in 2026 catch.
