The 2026 NFL Draft class isn’t projected to be the deepest at that most important position: quarterback.
Indeed, only two quarterbacks went in the first round on Thursday, April 23, with former Indiana football star and Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza going No. 1 overall. Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson was the only other signal-caller taken in the first round, going higher than he was widely projected at No. 13 overall to the Los Angeles Rams.
A lot of questions surround the signal callers behind them, including former Georgia and Miami quarterback Carson Beck. The two-time national champion — albeit as a backup with the Bulldogs — is in the running to be a Day 2 draft selection.

Where will Carson Beck be drafted?
NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero reported Beck could be drafted earlier than he has been projected across many mocks leading up to the draft. Part of the reason is due to the need at the position in this year’s draft.
“There’s enough teams that have a quarterback need,” Pelissero said on Wednesday. “I would not be surprised if Carson Beck goes, I believe he will go in the second round of this draft. And there’s at least a non-trivial chance again based on the fact that everybody in the back half of the first round is going to have a second-round grade. I would not 100% rule out the idea of Carson Beck somehow finding his way into the bottom of Round 1.”
