The 2026 Superflex mock draft revealed intriguing trends, particularly in the quarterback position. Christian McCaffrey made a surprising drop to No. 20 overall, raising concerns about his production at age 30 after an exhausting 450 total touches in 2025. If he remains healthy, this could be a major steal for whoever drafts him.

In Round 1, only four quarterbacks were selected: Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Drake Maye, and Joe Burrow. Typically, five or six quarterbacks fill the top 12 picks in this format, indicating a deep quarterback class this season. The quarterback rush continued in subsequent rounds:

• Round 2: Justin Herbert, Jalen Hurts, Jayden Daniels, Dak Prescott
• Round 3: Trevor Lawrence, Caleb Williams, Matthew Stafford, Brock Purdy, Patrick Mahomes, Jaxson Dart
• Round 4: Bo Nix, Jared Goff, Jordan Love, Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray

In total, 19 quarterbacks were chosen within the first 48 picks, with Tyler Shough and Malik Willis going in Round 5, while only 11 others were drafted from Rounds 6-15.

Heath Cummings adopted a QB-QB strategy, selecting Maye and Daniels from the No. 7 spot, and built a formidable roster, including running backs Breece Hall and Tony Pollard, and tight ends Dallas Goedert and Travis Kelce.

In contrast, Brandon Howard opted for a different approach, securing Patrick Mahomes in Round 3 and Shedeur Sanders in Round 12, resulting in a two-quarterback setup. His running backs and receivers also showed promise.

I took a risk by drafting Joe Burrow in Round 1 and Malik Willis in Round 5, focusing heavily on running backs like James Cook and Saquon Barkley to balance my roster. My receiver strategy unfolded later, with selections like Ladd McConkey and Jordan Addison.

With a scoring format awarding six points per touchdown and various yardage points, this mock draft showcased shifting strategies in quarterback selection, highlighting the depth and potential of the position for the upcoming season.
