Packers' QB Outlook: Love, Ridder, McCord, and Draft Prospects

Packers QB Situation: A Deep Dive into the 2026 Draft Class

As the 2026 NFL Draft approaches, Packers fans are eager to know more about the teams quarterback situation. With Jordan Love at the helm, backed up by Desmond Ridder and rookie Kyle McCord, the team has a solid trio. However, coach Matt LaFleur has expressed concerns about juggling four quarterbacks in camp.

The team has previously had Clayton Tune as the third-stringer, but he struggled in his limited appearances. This season, they added Desmond Ridder and Kyle McCord to the roster. Any draft additions might mean cutting one of them loose during roster crunch time.

The 2026 QB class is projected to be thin, with only about ten guys expected to hear their names called. Indianas Fernando Mendoza and Alabamas Ty Simpson are currently ranked as the top two prospects. By the Packers first pick at fifty-second overall, those two studs should be gone, leaving mid-round options wide open.

Scouts are buzzing about Day Three projects like Penn States Drew Allar and Arkansas Taylen Green. Allar has a cannon arm but stalled growth over his college career, while Green is a six-foot-six, two hundred twenty-seven-pound athlete who rushed for two thousand four hundred five college yards. Greens combine performance was impressive, with a four point three six forty-yard dash and forty-three point five-inch vertical.

The Packers could snag a developmental swing without trading up or hit free agency post-draft where vets dont mess with comp picks. They might just ride with Love and company, leaving fans to wonder what theyll do next.
