Other 2027 Mock Drafts: Charlie Campbell (2/14)
(More links to previous NFL mock drafts at the bottom of this page)
I’m not breaking any news by telling you that the Jets are desperate for a quarterback. Mina Kimes believes that Geno Smith is a top-10 quarterback, but we all know that’s not the case. The Jets will have to obtain a franchise quarterback in the next two drafts.
The grandson of Archie Manning and the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning, Arch Manning has been a highly coveted prospect for quite some time and is the favorite to be chosen first overall whenever he declares. He began slowly in his first year as a starter, but improved exponentially by the end.

Kyler Murray is gone, but he was a colossal disappointment anyway, so perhaps after he fails in Minnesota, he can retire and live his dream of being a full-time video game streamer. He won’t be nearly as great as Kastaclysm, but he could be pretty solid in that regard.
Dante Moore releases the ball quickly and processes everything very well. He makes great plays with his arms and legs, and thanks to his performance at Penn State, he could be the favorite to be the second quarterback in the 2027 NFL Draft.
Calvin Ridley looked done last year. The Titans will have to find a new top threat at the position during the 2027 NFL offseason because Wan’Dale Robinson is just a No. 2.
Jeremiah Smith has top-five ability with his size, speed, athleticism, and production.
Maxx Crosby won’t be on the Raiders much longer, and even if that’s not true, they need a bookend for him anyway.
Dylan Stewart was very productive at the beginning of his collegiate career. He possesses extreme upside.
Tyreek Hill is no longer with the Dolphins, so perhaps he’ll retire early to spend time with the family.
Cam Coleman has great size to go with his ridiculous speed and athleticism.
The Saints could stand to add another edge rusher with Cameron Jordan no longer with the team.
Yhonzae Pierre is a dangerous edge rusher with great speed and physicality.
The Giants have tons of talent on the edge, but they could stand to fortify their defensive line, especially with Dexter Lawrence potentially being moved.
Quincy Rhodes should be able to play defensive end in the 4-3 and five-tech in the 3-4. He has good size and length.
The Panthers upgraded their pass rush this offseason with the Jaelan Phillips signing, but better cornerback play is needed to improve the pass defense.
Leonard Moore is a big cornerback with a strong skill set.
It shouldn’t surprise anyone if the Cowboys pursue defensive ends in two consecutive first rounds.
John Henry Daley still needs to fill out his frame, but he has a great blend of power and quickness. His motor is relentless.
The Jets have Garrett Wilhson, and, well, that’s about it at receiver. They need to give their new quarterback some help.
Ryan Williams needs to get stronger for the NFL, but he has top-10 upside.
The Browns will likely give Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders one year to prove themselves. I’m not bullish on their chances, despite Sanders qualifying for the Pro Bowl.
John Mateer is very accurate and mobile. Charlie Campbell’s sources compare Mateer to Baker Mayfield.
It was very nice of the Steelers to fulfill Mike McCarthy’s Make a Wish dream of becoming Steelers head coach, but Pittsburgh will be looking for a new head coach and a new quarterback next spring.
Nico Iamleava transferred from Tennessee to UCLA due to a family issue. He has plus arm strength and rushing ability.
With three picks in the first round, the Jets can use one of them on an edge rusher in this loaded class of great pass rushers.
Will Heidt has good size and upside.
The Chiefs have nothing at receiver outside of Rashee Rice, and there’s no guarantee that Rice stays out of jail.
Nick Marsh is a 6-foot-3 receiver with plenty of potential.
Trey Hendrickson is no longer on Cincinnati’s roster, though we do like him to win 2026 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. Cincinnati needs a replacement.
Damon Wilson has great speed off the edge.
The Bears need to add multiple upgrades to a defensive line that finished dead last in the NFL in sacks.
A’Mauri Washington is a big nose tackle who has surprising athleticism for someone his size.
