Yes, you are reading this article title right, and if you are here, we appreciate you.
We know that if you’re here, it’s because you can’t get enough of the NFL Draft. While we know the 2025 version of the NFL’s annual selection meeting just ended, we are 361 days away from the NFL Draft kicking off in Pittsburgh. The Steel City will be hosting the event for the first time, with the three rivers set to be a beautiful backdrop for what should be a very talented class on both sides of the ball.
What remains to be seen is whether the quarterback class is a step up from what we saw this past year. One major name is, of course, Arch Manning, but there are more names to monitor than just his. Allow this to serve as more of an introduction list to players for next year’s class than anything.
And of course, the draft order is based on Super Bowl odds for teams. All complaints on draft order should be directed at the general managers for their roster building this offseason.
And now, let’s get to our way-too-early mock draft for the 2026 NFL Draft.
