The 2026 NFL is draft over.


Now, let’s flip the page to the 2027 NFL Draft. This class is expected to be filled with elite talent at premium positions like quarterback, wide receiver, edge rusher and offensive tackle.


Here’s our way-too-early mock draft for 2027:

(1) Cardinals: Arch Manning, QB, Texas


Arizona’s tank job lands them Manning, the son of Cooper Manning and the nephew of NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning. He improved throughout his first season as a starter and is trending to be the No. 1 pick in 2027.

(2) Dolphins: Jeremiah Smith, WR, Ohio State


Smith is a generational wide receiver prospect. He could change Miami’s fortunes.

(3) Jets: Dante Moore, QB, Oregon


The Jets land their franchise quarterback. Moore could have been a top-10 pick in the 2026 class if he declared.


New York wanted to draft Peyton Manning in 1997 with the No. 1 pick, but Manning avoided playing for the Jets by staying in school. Thirty years later, New York could miss out on Arch Manning because they might not be bad enough to finish with the No. 1 pick.

(4) Browns: Brendan Sorsby, QB, Texas Tech


Sorsby has franchise quarterback talent and can be the answer in Cleveland.

(5) Raiders: Cam Coleman, WR, Texas


Coleman could be a dominant wide receiver in the NFL. The Raiders will need to surround rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza with more weapons next offseason.

(6) Falcons: Jordan Seaton, OT, LSU


Seaton could develop into a franchise left or right tackle. The Falcons have long-term needs at both positions.

(7) Titans: Leonard Moore, CB, Notre Dame


Moore could ultimately go higher than this pick. He’s an elite cornerback prospect.

(8) Panthers: Dylan Stewart, EDGE, South Carolina


Stewart is an explosive pass rusher with awesome traits. He’s been considered a top prospect since his freshman season.

(9) Saints: Colin Simmons, EDGE, Texas


Simmons is a dynamic pass rusher. He could make New Orleans’ defense dangerous in 2027 and beyond.

(10) Giants: KJ Bolden, S, Georgia


Bolden could strengthen the backend of New York’s defense.

(11) Commanders: Omarion Miller, WR, Arizona State


Miller could be the Arizona State wide receiver to go in the first round in consecutive years. Jordyn Tyson was selected by the Saints with the No. 8 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

(12) Jets: Zabien Brown, CB, Alabama


The Jets have to their fix secondary after failing to address the position in the 2026 draft.

(13) Vikings: Jamari Johnson, TE, Oregon


Johnson is an athletic tight end with good upside. He could be the long-term replacement for Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson.

(14) Steelers: Drew Mestemaker, QB, Oklahoma State


The Steelers finally land their franchise quarterback in a deep class.

(15) Buccaneers: Quincy Rhodes Jr., EDGE, Arkansas


Rhodes racked up eight sacks in the SEC last season. He could become a first-round pick with a strong year.

(16) Jets: David Stone, DT, Oklahoma


Stone is a strong run defender. He would improve New York’s interior defensive line.

(17) Bengals: Ellis Robinson IV, CB, Georgia


The Bengals could invest on defense again next offseason to build an elite unit.

(18) Jaguars: Sammy Brown, LB, Clemson


Jacksonville could add a starting linebacker next offseason. They never replaced All-Pro free-agent loss Devin Lloyd this offseason.

(19) Bears: Trevor Goosby, OT, Texas


Goosby could become the Bears’ left tackle of the future.

(20) Broncos: Ahmad Moten Sr., DT, Miami FL


Moten was a star on Miami’s defensive line last season.

(21) Texans: Kenyatta Jackson Jr., DL, Ohio State


Jackson is a good edge rusher. He could help Houston have one of the deepest pass-rush rotations in 2027.


(22) Eagles: Tae Johnson, S, Notre Dame


Johnson solves Philadelphia’s long-term safety need.

(23) Lions: Matayo Uiagalelei, EDGE, Oregon


Detroit continues to beef up its pass rush with Uiagalelei.

(24) Chargers: A’Mauri Washington, DT, Oregon


Washington could have been an early-round pick this year if he declared.

(25) Patriots: Princewill Unanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss


The Patriots do not have a dominant pass rusher. They could add there next year.

(26) 49ers: Blake Frazier, OT, Michigan


Frazier is an athletic left tackle. He could be Trent Williams’ long-term replacement.

(27) Cowboys: Mario Craver, WR, Texas A&M


Craver is an explosive wideout. He could thrive next to CeeDee Lamb in Dallas.

28) Chiefs: Charlie Becker, WR, Indiana


Becker was a star during Indiana’s National Championship run this past season.

(29) Ravens: Bear Alexander, DT, Oregon


Alexander has the tools to get drafted early.

(30): Seahawks: Cayden Green, OG, Missouri


Green was a first-team All-SEC selection this past season.


(31) Bills: Jelani McDonald, S, Texas


McDonald had 80 tackles and three interceptions this past season.

(32) Rams: Nick Marsh, WR, Indiana


Marsh finished with 59 catches for 662 yards and six touchdowns at Michigan State in 2025. He could become a big name at Indiana next season.
