2027 NFL Mock Draft – Brian Bosarge

With early-season tape rolling in, the 2027 NFL Draft board is already shifting quickly. Between a loaded group of edge rushers, blue-chip perimeter weapons forcing their way to the top of the board, and the usual quarterback frenzy driving early panic, front offices are already doing the heavy lifting on next April. Using updated sportsbook odds and traded draft assets—including a three-pick haul for the Jets and an extra first-rounder for Cleveland—here is how all 32 picks fall, starting with full breakdowns of every selection.

DRAFT ORDER SET BY REVERSE SUPER BOWL ODDS VIA FANDUEL

2027 NFL Mock Draft (3.0) 

1. Miami Dolphins

Pick: Jeremiah Smith, WR | Ohio State

One could make the argument for a quarterback at the top. However, this team may be bad for a while. So, let’s start stacking talent, give Malik Willis another season, and pull the trigger on the QB of the future in 2028. Smith is the best player in the class, regardless of position.

2. Cleveland Browns

Pick: Darian Mensah, QB | Miami (FL)

The Browns can’t wait to draft their next quarterback. Cleveland trotting out Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, or Dillon Gabriel just won’t work for another season. Based on early-season results, Darian Mensah can make the case for QB1 off the board.

3. Arizona Cardinals

Pick: Arch Manning, QB | Texas

Arizona had an upset win over the Chargers in Week 1. But they still need to look to the future for a new passer. Arch Manning showed a lot in the comeback win over Ohio State on Saturday. He can certainly make the case for being the top QB taken. The cards will love to have football royalty in the desert.

4. New York Jets

Pick: Dante Moore, QB | Oregon

Dante Moore hasn’t had the best start to the season through two weeks. Still plenty of time to fix some issues. Geno Smith is a placeholder at the QB spot for New York. A replacement is in order.

5. Tennessee Titans

Pick: Dylan Stewart, EDGE | South Carolina

The Titans need a serious talent infusion on both sides of the ball. Adding one of the class’s best pass rushers for Robert Saleh feels like the way to go. Stewart hasn’t played for the Gamecocks in 2026 but is expected to make his season debut on Saturday.

6. Carolina Panthers

Pick: Colin Simmons, EDGE | Texas

After Sunday’s 59-point debacle, it’s obvious Carolina needs to pick a defender. Simmons is a nice consolation prize after missing out on Dylan Stewart.

7. Atlanta Falcons

Pick: Leonard Moore, CB | Notre Dame

The Falcons may not need a cornerback this early. But if they do, Leonard Moore has already shown in 2026 that he is worthy of a top-ten selection. However, is it crazy to rule out the quarterback position?

8. New Orleans Saints

Pick: Jordan Seaton, OT | LSU

I would rush up to draft one of the edge rushers if they were still on the board. But one can’t rule out an offensive tackle. Mickey Loomis loves collecting offensive linemen. I also want to admit I was wrong about Tyler Shough. The second-year passer looks like the real deal.

9. Las Vegas Raiders

Pick: Cam Coleman, WR | Texas

Add weapons for Fernando Mendoza. This is the way.

10. Washington Commanders

Pick: Trey’Dez Green, TE | LSU

Is it too soon for a running back? Could Jaden Baugh (or someone else) be in play? Perhaps. But I’m going with the freak TE, Trey’Dez Green.

11. New York Jets (from IND)

Pick: A’Mauri Washington, DL | Oregon

The Oregon defense has had a slow start, but the Jets won’t pass on the raw athleticism on the defensive interior.

12. Pittsburgh Steelers

Pick: Zabien Brown, CB | Alabama

A divorce between the Steelers and Joey Porter Jr. seems likely soon. If so, they will need to move in a different direction at corner.

13. New York Giants

Pick: Ryan Coleman-Williams, WR | Alabama

The Giants continue to put pieces around young QB Jaxson Dart. Coleman-Williams has some drop issues to work out. But his talent is immense.

14. Minnesota Vikings

Pick: Kelly Jones, CB | Mississippi State

Fresh off an opening-day beating of rival Green Bay, the Vikings are riding high. But cornerback can be upgraded. So they look to turn to upstart Kelly Jones from Miss State.

15. New York Jets (from DAL)

Pick: Yhonzae Pierre, EDGE | Alabama

Stack more talent on the roster. Pierre may rise on this board by season’s end. 

16. Dallas Cowboys (from GB)

Pick: Jaden Baugh, RB | Florida

Yes…their defense is still bad. And they probably shouldn’t take a running back in round one. But Baugh could be special. And hey, it worked out the last time they drafted a Florida Gator RB in the first round.

17. Jacksonville Jaguars

Pick: Trevor Goosby, OT | Texas

The Jags could use an upgrade at offensive tackle. Goosby probably shouldn’t fall this far. But if he does, run the card up.

18. Los Angeles Chargers

Pick: Charlie Becker, WR | Indiana

Becker has dominated in Indiana’s first two weeks. Granted, they have played less-than-stellar competition. But the Chargers clearly need some more weapons for Herbert.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Pick: K.J. Bolden, S | Georgia

I went back and forth between a defensive tackle and a safety here. Bolden is my top safety prospect (as of today). Tampa makes the call.

20. Chicago Bears

Pick: David Stone, DL | Oklahoma

While Chicago scored a staggering 59 points in week one, their defense still surrendered 37. So, clearly we need to upgrade some pieces on that side of the ball.

21. New England Patriots

Pick: Nick Marsh, WR | Indiana

Romeo Doubs got the bag in the offseason. But they need more pieces in the WR room.

22. Cincinnati Bengals

Pick: Ashton Hampton, CB | Clemson

The Bengals have a decision to make at CB. Dax Hil is on the 5th-year option. DJ Turner enters the final year of his contract. Ideally, they are extending both. Or extending one and tagging the other. Either way, they’ll need a reinforcement at some point.

23. Houston Texans

Pick: Kewan Lacy, RB | Mississippi

Lacy is a nice three-down back for the Texans offense.

24. Denver Broncos

Pick: Jamari Johnson, TE | Oregon

With Evan Engram in the final year of his deal, Denver may look to add a TE to the fray.

25. Detroit Lions

Pick: LaNorris Sellers, QB | South Carolina

Are the Lions ready to look to the future at QB? If so, this would be a good spot to pull the trigger on the best athlete at the position in this class. 

26. Kansas City Chiefs

Pick: Jacarrius Peak, OT | South Carolina

KC will need to address the right tackle spot more thoroughly at some point.

27. Philadelphia Eagles

Pick: Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa, LB | Notre Dame

I have no idea where to go for the Eagles with this pick. I want to get KVA somewhere in round one. Why not Philly?

28. San Francisco 49ers

Pick: Kade Pieper, IOL, Iowa

Niners need to add some interior blocking. Pieper can play guard or center.

29. Baltimore Ravens

Pick: Jordan Ross, EDGE | LSU

This may be a bit rich for Jordan Ross. But he has been impressive for LSU so far in 2026.

30. Seattle Seahawks

Pick: Chris Cole, LB | Georgia

Interior offensive line should probably be the priority here. But the value doesn’t match up yet. So, an aggressive LB is the call for the ‘Hawks.

31. Buffalo Bills

Pick: John Henry Daley, EDGE | Michigan

I’d normally lean WR here, but I wasn’t thrilled with where the board stacked up. So we get a nice pass rusher for the rotation. 

32. Cleveland Browns (from LAR)

Pick: Bear Alexander, DL | Oregon

With QB out of the way early, the Browns can add some aggressive pieces on the defense.
