Shocking Surprises and Hidden Gems: ESPN Reveals the Top 5 Quarterbacks Poised to Dominate the 2027 NFL Draft!

We are a long way from the 2027 NFL Draft; however, ESPN’s Matt Miller and Jordan Reid have recently ranked the early Top 5 quarterbacks in the 2027 class, as well as other positions. For this article, we take a look at the QBs.

Miller’s Top 5

1. Arch Manning, Texas

2. Dante Moore, Oregon

3. Drew Mestemaker, Oklahoma State

4. CJ Carr, Notre Dame

5. Darian Mensah, Miami

Reid’s Top 5

1. Arch Manning, Texas

2. Dante Moore, Oregon

3. Darian Mensah, Miami

4. CJ Carr, Notre Dame

5. Drew Mestemaker, Oklahoma State

Toughest player to rank: “Mestemaker. The third-year sophomore followed head coach Eric Morris from North Texas to Oklahoma State after throwing for an FBS-leading 4,379 passing yards with 34 touchdowns (tied for second in the FBS) to only nine interceptions as a first-year starter in 2025. The 6-foot-4, 211-pounder has the tools, but can he thrive against a higher level of competition? Of all the quarterbacks in this class, Mestemaker has the talent to be a Fernando Mendoza-like riser.” — Matt Miller
