Two Pittsburgh insiders say Brendan Sorsby is unlikely to be drafted by the Steelers in 2026 due to gambling baggage, preferring to wait for next year’s QB class; Sorsby could end up with Browns, Jets, or another team as a developmental option, with Pittsburgh and others weighing whether to roll the dice this cycle.
Bleacher Report's 2027 mock draft, sparked by the Browns’ extra first-round pick from the Myles Garrett trade, projects a quarterback-heavy first round — seven QBs — with Arch Manning to the Jets at No. 1 and Darian Mensah pegged for Cleveland, signaling a deep, talent-rich class and shifting how teams plan for 2027.
Detroit Lions rookie wideout Kendrick Law tore his ACL in a practice, forcing him to miss the entire 2026 season and delaying his NFL debut to 2027. The fifth-round pick out of Kentucky (after transferring from Alabama) had 53 catches for 540 yards and three touchdowns last season; with Law out, Detroit will rely on other receivers such as Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.
Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, facing a potential loss of college eligibility due to a gambling scandal, could be forced into the NFL supplemental draft. Insiders say he could land as a late 1st/early 2nd round pick depending on the draft order, with some scouts reportedly rating him higher than Arch Manning. The supplemental draft is risky and works like an auction, meaning a team that wins his rights would surrender a 2027 first-round pick. While Pittsburgh isn’t expected to bid, Sorsby’s status could reshape the 2027 quarterback class by removing a top prospect from early-round consideration.
Brendan Sorsby, who transferred to Texas Tech after starring at Cincinnati, is fighting an NCAA eligibility ruling that could push him toward the 2026 NFL supplemental draft if denied. The process is lottery-based and tiered, with teams bidding for players and losing a 2027 college pick if they select someone in the supplemental rounds. NFL evaluators praised his athleticism and arm, signaling potential interest from several teams, but much hinges on the court ruling and how the NFL would handle any resulting eligibility issues. Sorsby plans a pro day in Dallas and private workouts if he enters the draft while the injunction decision looms.
The NFL awarded the 2028 Draft to Minneapolis, with activations centered around U.S. Bank Stadium and related events planned across downtown Minneapolis, St. Paul, Mall of America and the Viking Lakes complex; commissioner Roger Goodell praised Minnesota’s track record of handling big moments as the draft heads to the Twin Cities for three days in late April 2028.
The NFL is expected to award the 2028 draft to Minnesota, with league owners set to finalize the decision at this week’s meeting after talks with league officials and the Vikings; Minnesota’s bid highlights events at U.S. Bank Stadium and other Twin Cities sites, continuing the league’s rotating-host model, with next year’s draft planned for Washington, D.C.
Deion Sanders says he and Shedeur chose not to hire an agent during the 2025 NFL draft because Shedeur was projected as a top pick and an agent’s commission wouldn’t have been worth it. He argues that going agent-free may have left Shedeur more exposed to misinformation and pre-draft criticism, while Shilo Sanders later hired an agent after going undrafted and earned a 53-man roster spot. Shedeur did start seven games last season and will now compete with Deshaun Watson for the Browns’ QB1; ultimately, his NFL fate will hinge on his talent and performance, not the agent.
NFL analyst Joe Theismann says the Steelers drafted Drew Allar in the third round to position themselves for a strong 2027 QB class, not just an immediate need. He suggests Allar could sit behind Aaron Rodgers (if he returns) and learn from a veteran, making Rodgers a mentor to both. While next year’s QB class appears deep, outcomes remain uncertain, and Pittsburgh’s move signals a long-term development plan with Allar’s franchise QB potential hinging on growth and opportunity.
