Dan Orlovsky Reveals Honest Thoughts About 2026 QB Class

The 2026 NFL Draft class was supposed to be a special one. For years, scouts and analysts raved about the potential in this class.

In fact, some teams even seemed to be okay with not taking a quarterback in the first round of the underwhelming 2025 NFL Draft class, knowing that things could be better next year. Now, that may not be the case.

At least, that’s how Dan Orlovsky feels. Following yet another week of unimpressive football, the former NFL quarterback had a big admission to make:

“Been very underwhelming,” Orlovsky posted on X.

Expectations were really high for this class in spring

‘Underwhelming’ doesn’t even tell half of the story. Some called Arch Manning a ‘generational player,’ yet he’s looked at least one year away from being ready for the league. The same goes for Drew Allar, who was projected to be the best quarterback in his class but has struggled with injuries.

According to most scouts, Fernando Mendoza and Dante Moore are the closest things to potential franchise quarterbacks in this class, while LaNorris Sellers might benefit from another year in college or a year on the sidelines. Still, given all that had been said of this class, this is fairly disappointing.

Once again, multiple struggling NFL teams will be in the hunt for a franchise quarterback in the offseason. But after watching these young men play this season, some of them might be better off either trying to pursue a veteran or just piling up more assets to try their luck again in the 2027 NFL Draft.
