B/R 2027 Early Mock Draft

Other than his last name being Manning, has Arch ever looked like a 1st round QB at any point in his career?
Well you assume he’s very smart, and unlike his uncles he’s got some actual wheels with 60 yard runs… I’m still not sure if he was injured to start last year or not.. his accuracy and arm strength at the start of last season was horrible. So idk. But I also don’t think Peyton ever had an above average arm. And then in Denver his arm was dead. Of course he’s likely not as smart as Peyton. But I imagine he’s at least equal to Eli who looks dumb as a box of chocolates…

It’s also like there is a lot of risk regardless which qb you take.. are these GMs going to want to be wrong betting against an athletic Manning and choosing a different qb…? What if he pans out! lol. You aren’t getting fired for drafting Arch Manning. You are immediately on a short leash for selecting another qb ahead of him. It’s about what the Owner thinks. They aren’t cracking out film lol.
 
Not really in my opinion. NFL draft has bad a couple bad QB classes now
I get it. Historically, has it ever happened?
I don’t think so. 2024 had 3 with Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniel’s and Drake Maye.

I think it will likely end up being 3 taken in the top 8 or so. Arch, Moore, Mensah, Sellers, Sorsby, Maiava. There’s gunna be 3 good seasons amongst those and they’ve got the tools to be worthy of top 10 pick plus QB needy teams (Dolphins, Jets, Cardinals, Falcons ?, Steelers?, Vikings?)
 
Raiders need to tank and get Jeremiah for Mendoza. Would be an awesome move for them. They don’t even need to be #1 overall. Top two teams probably will take arch or Moore. Maybe the titans can get him for cam after they botched this years pick
They signed a lot of guys in free agency. Maybe they'll still be bad but they think they can win some games this year.
 


Something is off!

Last year his way too early mock draft had 12 correct first rounders while 4 of his 32 returned to school. Damon Wilson and Ahmad Moten are 15th and 16th here.

Darian Mensah ranked fifth by Miller and third by Reid.

Damon Wilson II ranked fourth by Miller.

Ahmad Moten ranked second by Miller and first by Reid. Justin Scott received a ‘player outside the top 5 to watch blurb.’

Player outside top five to watch: Justin Scott, Miami. Moten received plenty of praise during his breakout 2025 season, but his running mate has plenty of fans in league circles. Scott is a 6-foot-4, 298-pound, rugged interior defender who always plays with violent hands. With an excellent get-off, he can win as both a run defender and pass rusher. Scott is a name to circle as a prospect who could quickly climb in a loaded defensive tackle class. -- Reid

A lot of familiar former recruiting names, past opponents, and future opponents on this list.

Player outside top five to watch: OJ Frederique Jr., Miami. From a technique standpoint, there aren't many corners better than Frederique. He's a supremely confident player who thrives in press-man coverage. But to enter the early-round discussion, Frederique needs to convert his opportunities into turnovers, as he has only one career interception. He also needs to stay healthy. If he's able to check both of those boxes, Frederique has the technical skills to enter the Round 1 picture. -- Reid
 
Lmao.. so let’s say the dolphins have the 1st pick, which is very much possible. They’ll have the option between a UM QB and one of the best HS/College WRs ever, that also grew up down the street from the stadium.

My money is on them still passing up on both lol
Chris Grier isn’t there anymore
