The 2027 NFL mock draft is already generating buzz, with several outlets publishing their preseason predictions. CBS Sports revisited its 2026 NFL Draft rankings, setting the stage for the upcoming 2027 reveal. ESPN's latest mock draft includes a significant trade up to the No. 1 pick, though not for Arch Manning. Dane Brugler's new Big Board ranks Jeremiah Smith and Leonard Moore at the top, with Arch Manning and Dante Moore also featured.

ESPN and Bleacher Report have published their mock drafts, with ESPN focusing on a major trade and Bleacher Report detailing Brugler's rankings. The New York Times also covers Brugler's board, noting the top spots held by Smith and Moore. While these predictions offer a glimpse into next year's draft, they come with caveats. The NFL season is just beginning, and much can change.

Manning's absence from the top spot in ESPN's mock draft is notable, as is the prominence of Smith and Moore. These rankings are subject to change as the season progresses and more information becomes available.
