The NFL Draft is about a lot more than quarterbacks.
But for the teams that need a QB, that often ends up feeling like the only thing that matters. This year, the likes of the New York Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns all fall at least partially into that category.
The Jets have Geno Smith set to start in 2026 but know they still need a long-term answer.
The Steelers hope to have Aaron Rodgers back for 2026, but that's yet to be determined -- and either way, they still need a long-term answer, too.
The Browns? Well, the Browns always need a quarterback -- and Shedeur Sanders plus Dillon Gabriel may not be the combination that changes that.
So they've got that need at least partially in common, and beyond No. 1 overall expected pick Fernando Mendoza, Alabama's Ty Simpson is the next QB on the board.
