Lance's 2024, 2025 and 2026 Quarterback Draft Boards
A lot has happened in the last month. It started when our site got hacked, and all of our articles, pages, etc.., were deleted. I took that as an opportunity. There were so many articles and tweets (if that's what they're still calling them) this draft season that mentioned specifically what a player did in their final season. And that got me thinking, does the final year of production really mean that much toward determining if a player will be successful as a pro? So, I dug in. The answer is yes and sort of. For some positions it makes a pretty big impact, and for others, a much smaller one. I decided it was enough to add it into my draft boards. In doing so, it forced me to make an even bigger shift, the score is now weighted. I couldn't just leave it at a player's final year + their career production + their athleticism because that would give their production two thirds of their score. So, I figured out which sections mean more to each position and how much of a weight they should get towards the score. Needless to say, the overhaul was the biggest I've done since I started these boards, so I decided to apply the changes to the 2024 and 2025 draft boards as well. That's why the title is what it is, and that's why you'll see all three boards below (6 for Receivers, D-Line and Corners). I will only list a Top 5 for the 2026 board though. One other new addition you will see is the A, B+ and C+ categories, which were sort of included in the 2026 articles. That is their probability they earn a successful grade as a pro, with A being the superstar category, B+ being their A and B probabilities combined making it the high-end starter category, and C+ being their A, B and C probabilities combined, making it the solid starter category.

Top 5:
1) Fernando Mendoza (Indiana)
2) Haynes King (Georgia Tech)
3) Joey Aguilar (Tennessee)
4) Ty Simpson (Alabama)
5) Carson Beck (Miami)
Note: While Simpson, Beck and Fagnano have a slight edge over King and Aguilar in the B+ category, the gap at A is larger, so I stuck King and Aguilar at 2 and 3. With everything going on with Brendan Sorsby, I went ahead and tested him out in my system. Obviously he hasn't done any athletic testing, but if he were to enter the supplemental draft and it were to happen tomorrow without him ever running or jumping, he would slide in right between King and Aguilar.
