2027 NFL Mock Draft – Round 1 (17-32) – Charlie Campbell

Seattle could use more receiver talent for Sam Darnold as Cooper Kupp is not a long-term starter.

In 2026, Coleman-Williams has caught 23 passes for 415 yards and four touchdowns. He has also looked good as a punt returner. In 2025, Coleman-Williams had 49 catches for 689 yards and four scores. He has had some problems with dropped passes in 2025. Coleman-Williams (6-0, 175) was very impressive in his freshman season for the Crimson Tide, catching 48 passes for 865 yards and eight touchdowns. He could stand to add some weight for the NFL, but he is a dynamic playmaker and capable of changing the game on any play.

Kenny Clark is nearing the end of his contract, and Dallas has tough contract decisions to make regarding George Pickens and Joey Porter Jr. It would make sense to pay one of them over re-signing an aging Clark. Here’s a long-term tackle to go with Quinnen Williams.

In 2026, Alexander has 39 tackles and 2.5 sacks. In 2025, Alexander had 50 tackles with one sack and one pass batted. Early in the season, Alexander did not play a lot before getting more snaps. Oregon staff told Alexander that he had to show more effort in practice to get playing time. With USC in 2024, Alexander had five tackles and zero sacks. He went out for the season in late September. Alexander totaled 47 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and two passes batted for USC in 2023. In 2022, he played with Georgia as a backup and recorded nine tackles, two sacks, and two passes batted. Alexander (6-2, 311) has a lot of talent with the upside to be a force, and he received a good grade from the advance scouts. Alexander is quick, athletic, and strong.

The Patriots add another weapon for Drake Maye. Green could be a dynamite mismatch weapon for Maye.

Green has 19 receptions for 272 yards and a touchdown. He had some underwhelming blocks and also helped spring his back for a touchdown run. Green flashed dynamic receiving ability as a sophomore, hauling in 33 passes for 433 yards with seven touchdowns. The 6-foot-6, 238-pound Green has surprising speed and fluid athleticism for a big-bodied tight end. He could be a mismatch weapon in the NFL. As a freshman backing up Mason Taylor, Green caught four touchdowns with 101 yards on 13 catches.

New York was high on Jeremiyah Love and has looked at adding other backs. Here’s a physical back that could appeal to John Harbaugh.

In 2026,he has averaged 5.3 yards per carry for 801 yards with 13 touchdowns. He has nine catches for 59 yards. In 2025, Baugh averaged 5.3 yards per carry for 1,170 yards with eight touchdowns. He had 33 receptions for 210 yards and two touchdowns. The 6-foot, 228-pound Baugh flashed serious running ability for the Gators in 2024 as a freshman. While other backs got more carries, Baugh showed a dangerous burst and power to get yards after contact. Baugh averaged 5.1 yards per carry for 673 yards and seven touchdowns. He had four catches for 33 yards and a score. Baugh could be a big-time presence and impact player at the pro level who gives a team a physical rushing attack.

Orlando Brown is aging and expensive. Here’s a young tackle to protect Joe Burrow.

The 6-foot-8, 305-pound Williams is a massive tackle, and he is enjoying a breakout season. Williams was a backup in 2025 behind Spencer Fano and Caleb Lomu, so Williams has upside to develop in his first year as a starter. He is large at the point of attack with length and moves well for his size. Williams benefits from 2027 being a weak year for offensive tackle talent, and he could be a first-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.

The Chiefs need more young receiving talent for Pat Mahomes.

Thus far in 2026, Coleman has 23 catches for 409 yards and seven touchdowns. Coleman has a first-round skill set, but he has not played like a first-round pick in 2026. He should return to improve, but he could rise in the lead-up to the draft as he should work out very well and has good tape from his time at Auburn. Coleman entered the transfer portal and will play with Texas in 2026. In 2025, Coleman had 56 catches for 708 yards and five touchdowns with Auburn. While other freshman receivers got more attention, Coleman (6-3, 197) flashed tremendous ability with size, speed, and athleticism. He caught 37 passes for 598 yards and eight touchdowns in his debut.

The Jaguars could consider adding more receiver talent to go with Parker Washington.

Thus far in 2026, Harris has 48 receptions for 804 yards with eight touchdowns. In 2025, Harris had 39 catches for 673 yards with five touchdowns. Harris (6-4, 220) is a big receiver with a strong build and showed some speed with an average of 17.3 yards per reception in 2025.

The Lions' terrible cornerback play is a result of Brad Holmes decisions like drafting Hendon Hooker instead of Tyrique Stevenson, selecting Terrion Arnold over Nate Wiggins or Kamari Lassiter, and signing D.J. Reed instead of re-signing Carlton Davis. Detroit badly needs cornerback talent.

In 2026, Hampton has 27 tackles, one interception, and nine passes broken up thus far. To open 2026, on the second play of the blowout loss to LSU, Hampton had a nice interception of Sam Leavitt. Hampton was excellent versus Miami, showing the speed and twitch to cover the ultra-fast Malachi Toney. That was a huge tape for Hampton to show he can run with speed receivers. Hampton (6-3, 204) is a big cover corner who is long and physical. In 2025, he totaled 45 tackles with eight passes broken up and an interception. He had 27 tackles with two interceptions and five breakups as a freshman.

Pittsburgh grabs a potential franchise quarterback.

In 2026, Chambliss has completed 64 percent of his passes for 2,189 yards with 18 touchdowns, eight interceptions, and six rushing touchdowns.He led Ole Miss to an epic win over LSU and a late win over Louisville.

Chambliss is fantastic at ad-libbing his team into big plays.

The Titans could use more linebacker talent and Cole would also give them some edge rush talent to go across from Keldric Faulk.

In 2026, Cole has 49 tackles with 3.5 sacks, three pass batted, three fumble recoveries, including a long touchdown return versus Florida. Under Kirby Smart, Georgia has produced a lot of solid linebacker prospects for the NFL, and Cole will maintain that tradition in 2027. The 6-foot-3, 235-pounder is strong at the point of attack and is a tough run defender. He also is a dangerous blitzer with upside to develop in pass coverage. In his first season as a starter, Cole had 60 tackles with 4.5 sacks and two passes broken up in 2025.

The Broncos could use young edge blocking talent on the inside of their line. Sean Payton always prioritized drafting interior linemen early in the draft with New Orleans, and Johnson has plug-and-play ability that could help Denver run the ball.

Johnson has been excellent for Minnesota in 2026. He is a power run blocker who can generate movement at the point of attack. He is also reliable in pass pro to stop bull rushes or move with speed. Johnson (6-6, 327) was a rock-solid blocker for the Gophers in 2025, showing effectiveness in both phases. Johnson has size and power as a run blocker, with quickness, athleticism, and an ability to anchor in pass protection. He looks like he could be a very good starting guard in the NFL with a long career. In 2025, Johnson was the Gophers' left guard, but he also filled in with a start at left tackle and one at right tackle. As a sophomore in 2024, Johnson started all 13 games at center for Minnesota. He has versatility and could be worthy of being a first-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft, according to team sources.

T.J. Hockenson has been a disappointment and has not been worth the draft picks it took to get him or the big contract Minnesota paid him. Here’s a cheaper, young upgrade.

In 2026, Johnson has 26 catches for 328 yards and three touchdowns. While Kenyon Sadiq got the most attention, he wasn’t the only talented tight end on the Ducks, as Johnson flashed serious ability. Johnson has quality size and flashed athleticism and speed as a receiver. In 2025, he caught 32 passes for 510 yards and three touchdowns. With Sadiq in the NFL, Johnson (6-4, 245) could produce more in 2026.

The 49ers could use some youth at safety and playmaking in the back end of their defense.

In 2026, Bolden has 28 tackles with an interception, .5 sacks, and three passes broken up thus far. In 2025, Bolden had 76 tackles with two interceptions and five passes broken up. In a talented secondary, Bolden (6-0, 185) was able to earn playing time as a freshman and had an excellent debut next to Malaki Starks. Bolden totaled 59 tackles with one interception, one pass broken up, one sack, and one forced fumble. After gaining some experience, Bolden could be even better. He could stand to add some weight to his frame for tackling in the NFL.

The Bills could consider adding more edge rush youth. Bradley Chubb is a veteran stop-gap and not a long-term starter.

In 2026, Pierre has 25 tackles, 3.5 sacks, two passes batted, and an interception returned 27 yards for a touchdown. The 6-foot-3, 248-pound Pierre has been a tough defender for the Crimson Tide in 2025. He has been a dangerous edge rusher with speed and physicality to push through blocks. In 2025, Pierre had 52 tackles with eight sacks, three forced fumbles, and one pass batted. Pierre is versatile and lines up at a variety of spots. He could be an outside linebacker in base who rushes off the edge in the sub.
