2027 NFL Mock Draft Highlights Top Quarterbacks and Class Depth
The anticipation for the 2027 NFL draft is building following the first week of the college football season, with standout performances from top quarterbacks. Dante Moore, ranked as the top quarterback and player on the preseason board, threw for 378 yards and three touchdowns in Oregon's victory over Boise State. Arch Manning, the second-ranked quarterback, completed 20 of 27 passes for 305 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception in Texas's win against Texas State.
In addition to Moore and Manning, two other quarterbacks are projected to be first-round picks. Julian Sayin from Ohio State has impressed with his patience and accuracy, while USC's Jayden Maiava has showcased arm talent and mobility, aligning with historical profiles of successful first-round quarterbacks.
The 2027 draft class is noted for its depth beyond quarterbacks, featuring strong offensive line and wide receiver prospects, led by Jordan Seaton and Jeremiah Smith. The defensive side also shows promise, particularly in the defensive line, edge rusher, and secondary positions. The draft order is based on reverse Super Bowl odds from DraftKings Sportsbook, with the Jets holding three first-round picks.
