2026 Post-NFL Draft Dynasty Rookie QB Rankings: Ty Simpson jumps to QB2 with Rams
With Fernando Mendoza locked in as the top quarterback of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Rams stunned everyone by making Ty Simpson the next passer of the board, securing his spot as the QB2 this year.
With the 2026 NFL Draft in the books, it’s time for dynasty rankings, starting with quarterback. I have some notes on the class after the rankings. If you want a breakdown of each player, check out my pre-draft rankings .

Denny Carter , ▶ Diego Pavia goes undrafted, Cade Klubnik lands in New York The big change here is that Diego Pavia is out and Cade Klubnik is in. Klubnik didn’t check a lot of analytical boxes for me.
He ranked outside the top 50 quarterbacks in EPA per dropback and PFF passing grade on deep throws in 2025. Klubnik was better as a deep thrower in 2024, ranking 13th in deep passing grade. His EPA per dropback was also slightly better, though a higher pressure-to-sack rate with more fumbles meant the difference was marginal.
Still, PFF gave him an impressive 87. 7 passing grade in 2024 compared to 77. 4 in 2025.
