With the college football regular season winding down, some are beginning to turn their attention to the top NFL Draft prospects and beginning a long stretch of predictions and mock drafts.

Dalton Wasserman of PFF released a post-trade deadline mock draft, where he has the Pittsburgh Steelers selecting Miami quarterback Darian Mensah.

“Mensah has been college football’s most efficient quarterback this season, leading the FBS with a 76.8% completion rate while throwing 28 touchdown passes and just two interceptions,” Wassermann writes. “That level of efficiency should appeal to NFL franchises, though questions remain about his physical tools and whether he can maintain that level of play without star wide receiver Malachi Toney, who is sidelined by injury.”

Mensah is completing roughly 77 percent of his passes, which leads the FBS. He’s thrown 28 touchdowns to just two interceptions this season.

The Steelers drafted Drew Allar out of Penn State this past April in the third round, and kept both Allar and 2025 sixth-round pick Will Howard on the 53-man roster for the season. Should Pittsburgh select Mensah, or any other quarterback in the first round for that matter, it would all but certainly spell the end of the road for Allar and/or Howard.
