Aller, Beck, Klubnik, Altmeyer and the Full Backup QB Breakdown for the Packers

Ryan kicks off a new position-by-position draft fit series, and he's starting where it matters most — quarterback. With Jordan Love locked in as the starter, the Packers need a legitimate backup who can actually operate Matt LaFleur's quick-rhythm, play-action system without turning the keys over to chaos. Ryan goes deep on what that prototype actually looks like, then runs the entire 2026 QB class through the filter. Drew Aller tops the board as the best fit — a bigger, stronger-armed version of the Jordan Love pre-draft profile who checks nearly every LaFleur box, with the key question being whether a fourth-round investment is justified Carson Beck and Cade Klubnik land in the NFL-ready-but-limited tier — serviceable operaters who can manage an offense but lack the ceiling tools Gutekunst typically chases Tailen Green and Cole Payton represent the high-upside developmental swing — Green is a freak athlete with legitimate accuracy concerns, Payton quietly checks every schematic box but comes from a small school Luke Altmeyer emerges as the most compelling late-round sleeper — a Clifford/Pratt 2.0 who mirrors exactly what the Packers have drafted at backup QB under LaFleur, possibly available in the seventh round Ryan also touches on Sawyer Robertson, Jalen Daniels, Diego Pavia, and a handful of UDFA targets including Fagnano and Gronowski.
