2027 NFL Draft preseason positional rankings: Quarterbacks

Key Points:

• The 2027 NFL quarterback class faces skepticism about meeting high expectations, with only two quarterbacks considered top-tier and many others clustered in the middle tiers.
• Arch Manning (Texas) leads the 2027 draft-eligible quarterbacks, followed by Dante Moore (Oregon), CJ Carr (Notre Dame), Drew Mestemaker (Oklahoma State), and Trinidad Chambliss (Ole Miss) rounding out the top five.
• Key areas for improvement among top prospects include decision-making under pressure (Moore), reducing rookie mistakes (Carr), gaining mental reps and experience (Mestemaker), coverage recognition (Chambliss), and improving accuracy on simpler throws (LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina).
• Several quarterbacks have unique traits, such as Sellers’ combination of size and explosiveness or Chambliss’ instinctive playmaking despite shorter stature, which could influence their draft stock and NFL potential.
• A list of top senior quarterback prospects includes Chambliss, Brendan Sorsby, Jayden Maiava, and others, highlighting a deep pool of eligible players beyond the underclassmen leading the rankings.
