2027 NFL Mock Draft

The Dolphins signed Malik Willis to be their new quarterback, but if they’re drafting first overall, it’ll obviously mean that Willis either didn’t play very well, or he suffered an injury and missed lots of time. Either way, the Dolphins aren’t going to pass on a franchise quarterback atop the 2027 NFL Draft.

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.

Also, if you haven’t visited the site in a while, you may have noticed the new look. Yes, after nearly two decades, we’ve finally re-designed our site to be more modern. This was not done on a whim, but rather out of necessity because of what occurred during the 2023 NFL Draft. Our site crashed during the entire first day of the draft, which was disastrous for our revenue stream because we make more money during the draft than any other time. The site crashed because a line of code conflicted with the old format of the site, so we had to transition to this new look.

Because we lost so much money during the draft, I want to point out that you can really help support the site by paying for the ad-free version of it. It’s $7.99 per month, but you’ll get a super-fast site with no ads. My developer will be adding new features to paid subscribers as well, so look for that in the near future. If you don’t want to pay, please spread the word about the site through word of mouth. That would also be a big help!

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.

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.

The Raiders failed to upgrade their receivers in the 2026 NFL Draft. Luckily for them, the 2027 NFL Draft class looks loaded at the position.

Jeremiah Smith has top-five ability with his size, speed, athleticism, and production.

The Titans passed on Arvell Reese in favor of Carnell Tate. They’ll need to bolster their pass rush some other way, and perhaps they’ll do that with the a top-five pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.

Dylan Stewart was very productive at the beginning of his collegiate career. He possesses extreme upside.

Kyler Murray is gone, but he was a colossal disappointment anyway. 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.

Jayden Maiava has a very quick release and terrific accuracy. He also has plus mobility, but must stop his tendency to lock on to his first read for too long.

Drake London is great, but he’s all the Falcons have at the position. They’ve needed a second receiver since the days when they had Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley.

Cam Coleman has great size to go with his ridiculous speed and athleticism.

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.

Nico Iamaleava transferred from Tennessee to UCLA due to a family issue. He has plus arm strength and rushing ability.

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.

John Mateer is very accurate and mobile. Charlie Campbell’s sources compare Mateer to Baker Mayfield.

The Giants signed Greg Newsome, but they’re still in need of a true No. 1 shutdown cornerback.

Leonard Moore is a big cornerback with a strong skill set with plus size and speed, but has dealt with injuries.

Aside from Tom Brady, the primary reason why the Buccaneers won the Super Bowl five years ago was their pass rush. They need to improve that area because they no longer get to the quarterback nearly as well. Rueben Bain was drafted, but the Buccaneers could use one more stud pass rusher.

Yhonzae Pierre is a dangerous edge rusher with great speed and physicality.

The Panthers upgraded their pass rush this offseason with the Jaelan Phillips signing, but they could stand to get even better with their pass rush if they can obtain one of the best defenders in the 2027 NFL Draft.

Collin Simmons has flashed explosive pass-rushing ability with a non-stop motor. He needs to bulk up for the pros.

The Jets just drafted Omar Cooper, but they could use a more dynamic threat across from Garrett Wilson, giving Arch Manning three great downfield threats at his disposal.

Ryan Williams needs to get stronger for the NFL, but he has top-10 upside. He has terrific speed and plus route-running ability.

The Jets signed Demario Davis, but he’s nearing 40, so the Jets will need to find some youth at linebacker.

Sammy Brown is a versatile and instinctive linebacker.

The Vikings drafted Caleb Banks and Domonique Orange, but they still need more talent on their weak defensive line.

David Stone has great athleticism for someone with his size and length. His motor is relentless. He needs to improve a bit in his pass-rushing technique, and there are some off-the-field issues with him.

The Cowboys had dreadful cornerback play last year, so this is an area they’ll need to address soon.

Ellis Robinson is a lengthy, but frail cornerback who needs to bulk up for the NFL.

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 big receiver with plenty of potential. He runs 4.3 and explodes after the catch. He drops way too many passes, however, and his route running is a concern.
