CBS Mock Draft vs. PFF Grades
- CBS Mock Draft: No. 1 Overall
- PFF QB Grade Ranking: No. 74 overall (Tie)
It’s not as pretty as it is with some other quarterbacks and Manning's first three games have been uneven, with his 60.8 completion percentage and 6.8 yards per attempt lagging behind some of the other quarterbacks on this list. The vertical passing game remains the brighter spot, reflected in an 86.6 PFF deep grade.

Dante Moore is going to be tied to the Ducks’ success. It’s better Oregon is winning. There is zero doubt he’s lethal pushing the football downfield through three games, producing nine touchdowns without an interception. His 92.6 PFF deep grade stands out, although his 49.4 grade under pressure is an early area to watch.

CBS Mock Draft vs. PFF Grades
- CBS Mock Draft: No. 3 Overall
- PFF QB Grade Ranking: No. 139 overall
His size, mobility and physical upside continue to make him a premium NFL prospect, but his early 2026 PFF grades haven't followed that projection. Sellers owns a 70.2 overall grade and 65.5 passing grade, illustrating exactly why projecting quarterbacks and grading their current tape can produce two radically different evaluations.
