2027 NFL Mock Draft: Arch Manning and Dante Moore Lead Quarterback Prospects

The college football season has commenced, prompting early discussions about the top prospects for the 2027 NFL Draft. Among the leading candidates are quarterbacks Arch Manning from Texas and Dante Moore from Oregon, both of whom still have eligibility remaining beyond this season.

In a preseason mock draft, Manning is projected as the first overall pick by the Arizona Cardinals, attributed to his combination of size, arm strength, and athleticism. Moore follows closely, expected to be selected second by the Miami Dolphins, contingent on his performance this season.

Other notable prospects include wide receiver Jeremiah Smith from Ohio State, projected to be picked third by the Cleveland Browns. The draft order is based on projected win totals for the 2026 season, with teams like the New York Jets holding multiple first-round picks, indicating potential trade opportunities.
