Mike Band 2026 NFL mock draft 1.0: Jeremiyah Love to Commanders; Cardinals land quarterback via trade - NFL.com
Overview
Band’s first mock outlined possible early quarterback placements and a trade that shifted a team into QB territory; his follow-up showed how roster moves can change projections. The Cardinals' actual selection of Carson Beck at No. 65 confirms the team prioritized adding a quarterback but did so with a Day‑2/3 pick rather than via the trade scenarios Band modeled. That outcome highlights the variety of paths teams may take to address QB needs and will inform future mock adjustments.
