2027 NFL mock draft: Five QBs in top 15 of preseason projection
PUBLISHED Aug 31, 2026, 7:49 AM ET
Early 2027 NFL mock drafts and big boards indicate unprecedented depth within the upcoming quarterback class, with analysts projecting up to five signal-callers to be selected inside the top fifteen picks. Headlining early projections are elite collegiate prospects Arch Manning of Texas and Dante Moore of Oregon, both of whom frequently generate consideration for the number one overall selection depending on franchise needs and draft-order movement. Additional prospects receiving first-round attention include CJ Carr of Notre Dame, LaNorris Sellers of South Carolina, and Sam Leavitt of LSU, as professional scouts monitor their developmental progress throughout the college season. The high concentration of elite talent at the position has sparked early discussions regarding potential draft-day trades among quarterback-needy franchises holding premium selections. Analysts note that individual performance trajectories during the upcoming collegiate season will ultimately determine the definitive draft order for these top signal-callers before the official selection event occurs in future years.
