In this episode of Locked On Dynasty Football, hosts Marcus Mosier and Michael Fabiano dive into the 2026 NFL Draft's quarterback class, focusing on non-Fernando Mendoza prospects Ty Simpson, Garrett Nussmeier, and Drew Aller. They express strong skepticism about the entire class, calling it one of the weakest in recent memory. Ty Simpson is seen as a high-upside, system-dependent project with a ceiling resembling Brock Purdy, but a floor closer to Colt McCoy—best suited for a backup role in a strong offense. Garrett Nussmeier, despite a tough 2025 season and poor athleticism, is viewed as a potential Jimmy Garoppolo or Mike McCarthy-type backup with NFL pedigree from his father, Doug Nussmeier. Drew Aller stands out for his physical tools and arm talent but is deemed highly inconsistent and prone to mistakes, likened to a more athletic Joe Flacco or Zach Mettenberger. The hosts agree that none of these quarterbacks are likely to start in Year 1, and even Mendoza may not make a fantasy impact early. They advise dynasty managers to avoid drafting them early and instead prioritize veteran QBs or trade for depth. The episode concludes with a strong recommendation to join the Everydayer Club for ad-free access and exclusive group chats. Sponsor segments promote Indeed Sponsored Jobs, FanDuel, TurboTax Local, and Ruggia, emphasizing hiring efficiency, sports betting, tax preparation, and performance support. The overall tone is candid and critical, with hosts admitting they lack excitement for any of the prospects, underscoring the depth of the quarterback drought.
The 2026 quarterback class is among the weakest in years, with no clear top-tier talent outside of Fernando Mendoza.
Ty Simpson’s value is highly dependent on system fit; he’s best suited as a backup in a strong offense, with a ceiling like Brock Purdy and a floor like Colt McCoy.
Garrett Nussmeier has NFL bloodlines and strong processing skills but lacks athleticism; he’s best viewed as a high-level backup or developmental project.
Drew Aller has elite physical tools but is inconsistent and prone to errors; he’s an all-or-nothing prospect with limited immediate fantasy upside.
Dynasty managers should avoid drafting any of these quarterbacks in the first two rounds and consider trading for veteran QBs to improve depth.
