1. Miami Dolphins
Arch Manning, QB, Texas

If the Dolphins end up with the #1 pick, it won't matter that they have Malik Willis under contract through 2028.


2. Arizona Cardinals
Dante Moore, QB, Oregon

Likewise, it will probably be immaterial that the Cards used the #65 overall pick in 2026 on Carson Beck if they are really drafting this high in 2027. The modern NFL isn't long on patience.


3. New York Jets
Julian Sayin, QB, Ohio State

The Jets have three first-round selections in this draft. One way or another, the Jets will likely target a quarterback on night one next year.


4. Cleveland Browns
Leonard Moore, CB, Notre Dame

They can't all be quarterbacks. There is early buzz on Moore being one of the top 2027 draft-eligible defensive backs.


5. Tennessee Titans
Jordan Seaton, OT, LSU

Seaton is a transfer from Colorado and an elite pass blocker.


6. Las Vegas Raiders
Jeremiah Smith, WR, Ohio State

There are some who believe Smith will be the first non-QB drafted in 2027 if he goes pro after the upcoming season.


7. Atlanta Falcons
Trevor Goosby, OT, Texas

Atlanta didn't select any offensive linemen in 2026 until the seventh round of the draft. Opinions on offensive line prospects for 2027 below this point vary considerably.


8. New Orleans Saints
Colin Simmons, EDGE, Texas

EDGE rusher was a notable position that the Saints didn't target in the 2026 NFL Draft.


9. Carolina Panthers
Dylan Stewart, EDGE, South Carolina

Similar to the Saints, the Panthers didn't select any EDGE rushers in the 2026 draft.


10. Pittsburgh Steelers
Darian Mensah, QB, Miami

Mensah is a transfer from Duke joining a program in Miami that has built a rep for being an effective finishing school for exceptional quarterback prospects in the NIL era.


11. New York Giants
A'Mauri Washington, DT, Oregon

Remember that the Giants traded star DT Dexter Lawrence to Cincinnati in the lead-up to the 2026 NFL Draft.


12. Washington Commanders
KJ Bolden, S, Georgia

Bolden is considered the top draft-eligible safety for 2027 according to some early evaluations.


13. Minnesota Vikings
Ellis Robinson IV, CB, Georgia

Cornerback is expected to be a need position for the Vikings going into the 2027 season.


14. New York Jets (from Indianapolis Colts)
Zabien Brown, CB, Alabama

The Jets had zero interceptions over the course of the entire 2025 season. 17 games, 0 picks. It will take more than D'Angleo Ponds to remedy that situation for the rebuilding Jets.


15. Jacksonville Jaguars
Matayo Uiagalelei, EDGE, Oregon

While the Jags used a pair of day three picks on defensive ends in the 2026 draft, that shouldn't preclude them from selecting a top EDGE prospect here.


16. New York Jets (from Dallas Cowboys)
Duce Robinson, WR, Florida State

It seems unlikely that the Jets would keep all three of its first-round selections in this draft.


17. Cincinnati Bengals
Cayden Green, OL, Missouri

Nothing glaring here for Cincinnati, though offensive line looks like a viable possibility.


18. Chicago Bears
David Stone, DT, Oklahoma

It surprised me that the Bears didn't draft a defensive tackle until the sixth round of the 2026 draft.


19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jamari Johnson, TE, Oregon

Tight end wasn't addressed by the Bucs until late on day three in this year's draft.


20. Houston Texans
Nate Frazier, RB, Georgia

Frazier ran for 947 yards and scored seven total touchdowns in 2025 for the Bulldogs.


21. Dallas Cowboys (from Green Bay Packers)
Nick Marsh, WR, Indiana

At 6'3", Marsh has great size for the position and will be a matchup problem for opposing teams.


22. Denver Broncos
Austin Siereveld, OT, Ohio State

Offensive line is expected to be a consideration here for the Broncos.


23. Detroit Lions
Kelley Jones, CB, Mississippi State

Cornerback is suddenly a big need for Detroit with the recent release of 2024 first-round CB Terrion Arnold.


24. New England Patriots
Charlie Becker, WR, Indiana

Becker has a chance to be the first Father Ryan High School (Nashville, Tennessee) graduate ever selected in round one of the NFL Draft.


25. Philadelphia Eagles
Quincy Rhodes Jr., EDGE, Arkansas

The Eagles didn't draft an EDGE until the seventh round of the 2026 draft.


26. Los Angeles Chargers
Ahmad Moten Sr., DT, Miami

The Chargers drafted Miami EDGE Akheem Mesidor in the first round of this year's draft. Might the Chargers go back-to-back Miami defensive linemen in the first round in 2026 and 2027?


27. San Francisco 49ers
Damon Wilson II, EDGE, Miami

Wilson is a transfer from Missouri, where he secured nine sacks for the Tigers in 2025.


28. Kansas City Chiefs
Kade Pieper, OL, Iowa

The Chiefs didn't draft a single offensive lineman in 2026.


29. Seattle Seahawks
Will Echoles, DT, Ole Miss

Defensive line is anticipated to be a potential consideration for Seattle in round one.


30. Baltimore Ravens
Kewan Lacy, RB, Ole Miss

This selection had been slated to be traded to the Las Vegas Raiders as part of the proposed trade for Maxx Crosby that ended up being nixed.


31. Buffalo Bills
Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa, LB, Notre Dame

The Bills trading back thrice in the first round of the 2026 draft was impressive. This is more a reflection of best player available than need with Buffalo having drafted TCU LB Kaleb Elarms-Orr.


32. Cleveland Browns (from Los Angeles Rams)
CJ Carr, QB, Notre Dame

The 2027 NFL Draft is expected to be deep at quarterback. Carr will have college eligibility for 2027 and could easily decide to hold off until 2028.


2027 NFL Draft Location

The 2027 NFL Draft will be held in Washington, DC. This will be the first time for the draft to take place in the District of Columbia since the 1941 draft at the Willard Hotel.

According to the NFL, "Over the course of the three-day event, D.C. will host a slate of Draft activities, including a variety of community events, the Draft Concert Series and the NFL Draft Experience."

The 2027 NFL Draft will take place from Thursday, April 29 to Saturday, May 1, 2027.
