Aaron Torres· Mar 1, 2026
Torres says Drew Allar will not be drafted in the top five, and predicts Taylen Green (an Arkansas QB) has not been discussed as a first-rounder for good reason. He also argues only four teams — Duke, Arizona, Michigan and Florida — can realistically win the men's college basketball national championship.

McCarthy and Will Howard, plus Jerry Jeudy, Joey Porter Jr., Tyrone Tracy Jr., Kayvon Thibodeaux, Josh Sweat, Kristian Fulton and Marist Liufau. It also says Mason Rudolph's and Drew Allar's roster spots in Pittsburgh are secure.
- Gerry DulacRoster Spot Calls · Drew AllarHit · 100Dulac said the Steelers have already decided to keep both young quarterbacks, Will Howard and Drew Allar, on the 53-man roster, and that he cannot imagine them not also keeping Mason Rudolph.
- Kevin PatraRoster Spot Calls · Drew AllarHit · 100Patra argues the Steelers are increasingly likely to keep four quarterbacks on the initial 53-man roster, with Mason Rudolph and third-round pick Drew Allar both safe, leaving Will Howard's spot as the only real question.
- Eric EdholmRoster Spot Calls · Drew AllarHit · 100Edholm expects Aaron Rodgers to open the season as Pittsburgh's starter, Mason Rudolph as the clear backup favorite, and rookie Drew Allar as an almost certain roster lock, with Will Howard fighting for the QB3 job.
- Jack MarkowskiRoster Spot Calls · Drew AllarHit · 100Markowski writes that Mason Rudolph remains the Steelers' No. 2 quarterback behind Aaron Rodgers, and that third-round rookie Drew Allar is certain to make the 53-man roster as the No. 3 quarterback.

The same kind of call, about other players and teams.
- Ryan WilsonMock Draft Picks · J.J. McCarthyMiss · 37Recalling his pre-draft evaluation, Wilson notes he had ranked J.J. McCarthy as the fifth quarterback in the 2024 class and given him a second-round grade rather than a first-round one, citing the gap between Michigan's system and NFL demands.
- Lance ZierleinMock Draft Picks · Jeremiyah LoveHit · 100Zierlein laid out his final mock draft: Jeremiah Love at No. 3 to Arizona, Sonny Styles at No. 4 to Robert Saleh's team, and Caleb Downs to the Giants at No. 5. He also called Styles the only first-round linebacker in the class and said Ty Simpson is a lock to be a first-round pick, most likely to Arizona.
- Nick ShookMock Draft Picks · Max IheanachorHit · 88Shook walks through his full first-round mock draft, assigning a prospect to every pick from No. 1 to No. 32, headlined by Fernando Mendoza to the Raiders, David Bailey to the Jets and Jeremiah Love to the Cardinals in the top three.
- Gregg RosenthalMock Draft Picks · K.C. ConcepcionClose · 68Rosenthal disagrees most with Casey Concepcion being left out of the first round, arguing he could go as high as the top 15 and certainly won't last past receiver-needy teams in the late twenties.
- Daniel JeremiahMock Draft Picks · Keyron CrawfordHit · 81In discussing teams without first-round picks, Jeremiah projected specific Day 2 picks: Clemson WR Antonio Williams to the Falcons at 48, Texas Tech LB Jacob Rodriguez to the Colts in the second round, Oklahoma edge R Mason Thomas to the Packers at 52, and Auburn edge Keiroon Crawford to the Broncos at 62. He also expects Riley Leonard to open as the Colts' starting QB and Travis Hunter to play cornerback full time in Jacksonville.
- Daniel JeremiahMock Draft Picks · Carnell TateHit · 92Jeremiah says Denver, not Kansas City, will be the clear favorite in the AFC West this season; he also puts Carnell Tate sixth and Monroe Freeling twentieth on his prospect board, mocks Tate to Cleveland at No. 6, and expects Georgia receiver Branch to be a Day 2 pick after a strong pro day.
