Arch Manning and Jeremiah Smith lead 2027 NFL Draft prospects

Early projections for the 2027 NFL Draft highlight a highly competitive class, particularly at the quarterback position. Texas quarterback Arch Manning and Oregon quarterback Dante Moore are currently viewed as the top two prospects, though debate continues regarding which player holds the definitive No. 1 ranking.

Beyond the quarterback group, Jeremiah Smith of Ohio State is emerging as a premier overall prospect, with scouts comparing his potential to wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase. Other notable players generating interest include wide receiver Charlie Becker of Indiana and edge rusher A’Mauri Washington of Oregon. The draft class is expected to be deep across multiple positions, including defensive linemen and wide receivers, as scouts begin intensive evaluations ahead of the college football season.
