Ty Simpson’s Draft Projection SPARKS 2026 QB Class DEPTH Debate, Vikings Primed for Draft Day Trade?
from Locked On NFL Scouting with the Draft Dudes - Daily podcast covering NFL and College Football scouting · host Locked On Podcast Network
Fernando Mendoza emerges as the clear frontrunner for the 2026 NFL Draft’s number one quarterback, while Ty Simpson’s projection sparks debate—will quarterback depth surprise or disappoint in this class? Joe Marino and Kyle Crabbs dissect bold mock draft scenarios, question the Vikings’ draft strategy, and explore how prospect age affects a team’s roster building philosophy. Pre-snap reads lose their edge as post-snap processing reshapes the quarterback evaluation landscape. The duo tackles Patriots’ offensive line buzz, Will Campbell’s role, and whether Mike McDaniel can launch the Chargers to an NFL-leading offense with Justin Herbert’s dual-threat skill set. Rapid food takes round out the show, comparing S-tier yeast rolls, pumpernickel, and rye for some unexpected culinary controversy. Which teams, players, and flavors rise to the top?
