The Jets, Browns and Dolphins all get potential franchise QBs. So who's going where in our first 2026 NFL mock draft?

Who dethroned Josh Allen for the top spot in Nick Shook's QB Index rankings? Check out the updated pecking order, 1-32, heading into Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season.

Michael Penix Jr. is one of the newest left-handed quarterbacks in the NFL, having been drafted eighth overall by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Heisman Trophy runner-up out of Washington joined the league after a six-year college career and quickly took over the starting job in Atlanta midway through his rookie season.

Although Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson have outplayed him in many ways over the past three seasons, Patrick Mahomes is still the king of the NFL. The undisputed best QB has been the best clutch performer and most accomplished player in football since he became a starter in 2018.

While several of the more highly-touted prospects in the 2026 quarterback class are struggling, some new names are emerging.

Wideout Ladd McConkey had some major praise for quarterback Justin Herbert after the star quarterback led the Los Angeles Chargers to a game-winning drive in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Miami Dolphins.

The Jets are in prime position to have the No. 1 pick in next April’s NFL Draft. And if it wasn’t clear before Sunday’s loss to the Broncos that Justin Fields is not the long-term answer, it should be now after he netted the worst passing performance in team history with -10 yards.

If the pseudo-feud between Caleb Williams and Troy Aikman turns to early-career statistics., the Bears' QB owns a distinct advantage.
