2027 NFL Mock Draft Projects Quarterbacks and Defensive Playmakers Among Top Picks

A new 32-pick NFL mock draft projects a major quarterback investment for several teams, alongside a strong group of edge rushers, defensive backs and offensive playmakers.

The projection begins with the Los Angeles Chargers selecting Oklahoma State quarterback Drew Mestemaker, followed by the Tennessee Titans taking Texas offensive tackle Trevor Goosby. Oregon quarterback Dante Moore is projected to go to the Miami Dolphins, while Texas quarterback Arch Manning is projected to join the New York Jets via Indianapolis.

The mock draft also forecasts a busy day for the Jets, who are projected to add Oklahoma defensive tackle David Stone and LSU offensive tackle Jordan Seaton. The Philadelphia Eagles are projected to select South Carolina edge defender Dylan Stewart, while the Washington Commanders are projected to add Texas edge defender Colin Simmons.

Quarterbacks feature prominently throughout the first round, with Ohio State’s Julian Sayin projected to the Cleveland Browns, South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Notre Dame’s CJ Carr to the Tennessee Titans via Chicago.
