QUARTERBACK
1
Fernando Mendoza
QB | INDIANA | 6’2 | 223
Strengths: Mendoza is a precision and timing passer with advanced processing who identifies leverage early and consistently throws receivers open. He wins with anticipation, accuracy in tight windows, and an ability to keep the offense on schedule while creating RAC opportunities. Weaknesses: He has a limited physical and arm ceiling and is not built to consistently create outside of structure, operating more as a rhythm quarterback than a true playmaker. Bottom Line: Mendoza is the most refined and pro-ready quarterback in the class and can step in on day one to run a pro-style offense cleanly.
Grade: Round 1
Jared Goff
2
Trinidad Chambliss
QB | OLE MISS| 6'1 | 200
Strengths: Chambliss jumped off the tape early with his dual-threat ability. He is at his best when plays break down, consistently creating outside of structure and extending snaps. He has good arm strength and delivers the ball with consistent velocity. His resilience, both on and off the field, shows up in his play style and competitiveness and speaks to the type of prospect he is. Weaknesses: Size will be a concern for some teams, along with the fact that he is a slightly older prospect. He does not consistently manipulate defenses pre- or post-snap, and there are times he bails from clean pockets rather than climbing and working through progressions. Bottom Line: Chambliss is worth a first-round flyer in my view.
Grade: Round 1
Russell Wilson
3
Ty Simpson
QB | ALABAMA | 6’2 | 208
Strengths: Simpson is extremely advanced pre-snap, consistently identifying coverages, pressures, and adjusting protections. He has an NFL-caliber arm with easy velocity, can hit tight windows, access all three levels of the field, and adds value as a mobile quarterback who can create off-schedule with both touch and velocity. Weaknesses: Pressure handling still needs refinement, as he can get skittish, bail from clean pockets, and speed up his mechanics, leading to uncharacteristic misses. Bottom Line: Simpson does franchise-QB things at a high level and has the mental and physical tools teams look for in a first-round quarterback, but the consistency is not there yet.
Grade: Round 2
Brock Purdy
4
Drew Allar
QB | PENN ST. | 6’5 | 235
Strengths: Allar has high-end arm talent with easy velocity and the ability to drive the ball into tight windows. He has ideal size, flashes anticipation, and shows good touch when his base is clean. Competitive toughness and willingness to use his legs for extra yards add value. Weaknesses: Inconsistent footwork and mechanics hurt his accuracy, especially under pressure. Interior pressure causes breakdowns in his base and decision-making. Processing can be slow in key moments, and he offers limited creativity as a runner. Bottom Line: Allar is a toolsy pocket passer with starter upside, but he remains a developmental prospect who must clean up his mechanics and decision-making.
