Arch Manning projected as potential No. 1 pick in 2027 NFL Draft

College football quarterback Arch Manning is being floated as a possible No. 1 selection in the 2027 NFL Draft. Draft analyst Ian Kenyon noted that Manning’s current projection “is going to end up being Ryan Tannehill,” suggesting that while Manning shows NFL‑level arm talent and mobility, his limited starting experience remains a concern. Kenyon compared Manning’s early career to Tannehill, who entered the NFL after just 19 college starts and later became a Pro Bowl player. The analyst also evaluated other 2027 quarterback prospects, rating Notre Dame’s CJ Carr more favorably than Baylor’s DJ Lagway and Ohio State’s Julian Sayin. The discussion highlights the speculative nature of Manning’s draft outlook ahead of his 2026 college season.
