Bleacher Report 2027 NFL Mock Draft
Draft Board Shakeup: Bleacher Report Projects Full 32-Pick First Round for 2027

With the 2026 college football season in high gear and the NFL campaign rolling, Bleacher Report's expert scouting panel assembled to project all 32 selections for the 2027 NFL Draft. Utilizing reverse Super Bowl futures to determine order, this full mock features an ultra-rare wide receiver landing at No. 1 overall, an early run on elite signal-callers, and heavy defensive line retools down the board.
32. Cleveland Browns (via LA Rams)
DL Ahmad Moten Sr. | Miami

Closing out the first round with their second pick from the Myles Garrett trade, Cleveland grabs an interior gap-shooter. Ahmad Moten Sr. brings first-step penetration to the Cleveland Browns.

"Moten arguably has the best first step among the entire 2027 defensive tackle class. He's a gap-shooter, who can get penetration, and offers value as an interior pass-rusher."
31. Buffalo Bills
DT A'Mauri Washington | Oregon

Buffalo adds brute power to its interior line by selecting a 325-pound tackle with disruptive quickness. A'Mauri Washington gives the Buffalo Bills a high-ceiling interior anchor.

"Washington is still putting it all together as a pass-rusher, but his size (6'3", 325 lbs), strength and athleticism give him a high ceiling at the next level."
30. Seattle Seahawks
Edge Matayo Uiagalelei | Oregon

The defending Super Bowl champions reload their "Darkside" defense with a versatile edge end who sets a hard edge against the run. Matayo Uiagalelei brings physical power to the Seattle Seahawks.

"Uiagalelei offers some scheme/alignment versatility with his experience playing as a stand-up outside linebacker, while having the size to be a base end."
29. Baltimore Ravens
RB Kewan Lacy | Ole Miss

Baltimore takes pressure off Derrick Henry by drafting an explosive, long-striding home-run threat. Kewan Lacy brings open-field quickness and receiving versatility to the Baltimore Ravens.

"Lacy is a talented runner with short-area quickness to make defenders miss in the open field. He's also a long-strider, who slashes and cuts through opposing defenses."
28. Los Angeles Chargers
Edge Boubacar Traore | Notre Dame

Jim Harbaugh fortifies the pass rush by adding a dynamic edge defender with elite lateral quickness. Boubacar Traore brings elite moves to the Los Angeles Chargers' defense.

"Regardless, Traore makes his money as a pass rusher, where his lateral movement skills and a nasty spin move really shine."
27. Detroit Lions
CB Kelley Jones | Mississippi State

Motor City upgrades its secondary depth by selecting a towering 6-foot-3 boundary cornerback with safety-level route recognition. Kelley Jones brings length and zone spacing to the Detroit Lions.

"As a former safety, Mississippi State's Kelley Jones shows strong route recognition and spacing in zone coverage. He has the body type (6'3", 200 lbs) to play on the boundary in man coverage."
26. Kansas City Chiefs
OT Trevor Lauck | Iowa

Kansas City secures its right tackle position by drafting a technically sound Hawkeye blocker. Trevor Lauck brings reliable pass sets and strong-side toughness to protect Patrick Mahomes.

"Iowa's Trevor Lauck looks like a compact, technically sound collegiate tackle in the mold of another former Hawkeye, Riley Reiff."
25. Philadelphia Eagles
Edge Yhonzae Pierre | Alabama

Howie Roseman reloads the defensive front by adding a twitchy edge rusher with high-end movement traits. Yhonzae Pierre gives the Philadelphia Eagles another disruptive rotational pass rusher.

"Pierre can add to his pass-rush arsenal since he relies heavily on turning speed-to-power and a decent long-arm move. Even so, the 6'3", 253-pound prospect flashes impressive movement skills."
24. Houston Texans
RB Ahmad Hardy | Missouri

Houston plans for its future backfield by landing a hard-nosed SEC volume runner. Ahmad Hardy brings hard-contact balance to the Houston Texans, complementing C.J. Stroud's passing game.

"Hardy is a bowling ball of a runner with elite contact balance, great patience and the vision to find lanes at the line of scrimmage."
23. New England Patriots
Edge Will Heldt | Clemson

New England adds power and length to its edge rotation behind Harold Landry III and Dre'Mont Jones. Will Heldt brings a physical long-arm pass rush to the New England Patriots.

"The selling point for Clemson's Will Heldt is simple: He's a big guy who can move. The 6'6", 260-pound edge-defender can win with power and a long-arm move as a pass-rusher."
22. San Francisco 49ers
IOL Kade Pieper | Iowa

Kyle Shanahan prepares for interior line turnover by drafting an explosive, light-footed center prospect out of Iowa. Kade Pieper brings elite lateral movement to the San Francisco 49ers.

"Pieper is another ultra-twitchy prospect, who is similarly light but also has a longer-looking frame than Iowa predecessors Tyler Linderbaum and Logan Jones."
21. Denver Broncos
WR Nick Marsh | Indiana

Denver provides Bo Nix with a physical 6-foot-3 X-receiver to pair alongside Jaylen Waddle and Troy Franklin. Nick Marsh brings contested-catch toughness to the Denver Broncos' perimeter.

"Marsh has a prototypical X-receiver frame and strength after the catch to isolate him on an island. Marsh's build-up speed can stress a defense vertically."
20. New York Jets (via DAL)
CB Zabien Brown | Alabama

Closing out their three-pick first-round haul, Gang Green snags a disciplined boundary corner who excels in zone coverage and open-space tackling. Zabien Brown bolsters depth for the New York Jets.

"Alabama's Zabien Brown brings a sound run-defender and open-space tackler to the boundary, who stays responsible throughout the play."
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
TE Trey'Dez Green | LSU

Tampa Bay builds around Baker Mayfield by giving him a 6-foot-7 red-zone weapon. Trey'Dez Green provides the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with an unmatchable target down the middle of the field.

"Green is listed at 6'7" and 240 pounds, which opens eyes before he even takes the field. He's still learning the nuances of the position, but he's a problem down the seam of opposing defenses."
18. Cincinnati Bengals
OT Jordan Seaton | LSU

Protecting Joe Burrow remains job number one in Cincy, prompting the front office to draft an agile, explosive pass protector. Jordan Seaton brings quick feet and physical edge finishing to the Cincinnati Bengals.

"Seaton is the most physically gifted draft-eligible blocker entering the season based primarily on his movement skills in pass protection—which match those of high-end NFL starters."
17. Dallas Cowboys (via GB)
TE Jamari Johnson | Oregon

Big D adds a seam-stretching tight end to give Dak Prescott another explosive passing-game option. Jamari Johnson brings wideout movement skills to the Dallas Cowboys' offense.

"Jamari Johnson is an instant mismatch tight end, because he brings the body type and athleticism required to be a three-down threat."
16. Chicago Bears
CB Ellis Robinson IV | Georgia

Chicago finishes its secondary rebuild by drafting an athletic cover corner with elite recovery speed. Ellis Robinson IV gives the Chicago Bears an instinctual playmaker on the outside.

"As the best athlete among the class' top corners, Robinson has immense upside thanks to his recovery ability, ball skills and zone coverage prowess."
15. Jacksonville Jaguars
DL David Stone | Oklahoma

Jacksonville fortifies its interior line alongside Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker by selecting a high-upside tackle prospect. David Stone brings elite arm length and raw power to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

"Stone doesn't have the experience scouts typically like to see, with only two career starts before this season. However, his traits will be difficult to match with his strength, athleticism and near 35-inch arms."
14. Minnesota Vikings
RB Jadan Baugh | Florida

Minnesota establishes a dominant ground attack to support Kyler Murray, snatching up an elite three-down ball-carrier. Jadan Baugh gives the Minnesota Vikings a combination of power, vision, and passing-game utility.

"Baugh blends great size (6'1", 225 lbs), vision, patience, burst and physicality. He fits multiple running schemes and is an effective receiver out of the backfield."
13. New York Jets (via IND)
DL Will Echoles | Ole Miss

Using draft assets from the Sauce Gardner trade, Gang Green lands a gap-penetrating interior defensive lineman. Will Echoles brings raw power and lateral quickness to the New York Jets' defensive front.

"There's a lot to like about Echoles as a run defender. He's strong to win at the point of attack, quick off the ball to get penetration or shoot a gap."
12. Pittsburgh Steelers
S Brauntae Johnson | Notre Dame

Steel City stays true to its identity, injecting a physical, high-instinct safety into the secondary. Brauntae Johnson brings downhill run support, hitting, and deep-range ball skills to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"Physicality and size (6'2", 200 lbs) in the run game, paired with instinctual play on the back end, make Johnson a true impact playmaker."
11. New York Giants
CB Ashton Hampton | Clemson

Big Blue overhauls its secondary by grabbing a long, aggressive cornerback who thrives in physical coverage. Ashton Hampton brings boundary toughness and run-support tackling to the New York Giants.

"Hampton has all of the requisite tools to be a No. 1 corner at the NFL level. Plus, he's an explosive downhill thumper in the run game."
10. Washington Commanders
WR Cam Coleman | Texas

Washington provides Jayden Daniels with a big-bodied wideout featuring elite catch-point leverage. Cam Coleman gives the Washington Commanders a true perimeter WR1 target to pair alongside veteran Terry McLaurin.

"Coleman possesses the physical frame and athleticism to be an NFL offense's WR1. He has great play-strength at the catch-point when extending for a pass or running short-to-intermediate routes."
9. New Orleans Saints
Edge Dylan Stewart | South Carolina

Preparing for life after Cam Jordan, the Big Easy grabs an athletically gifted edge defender with an absurd physical ceiling. Dylan Stewart gives the New Orleans Saints an explosive pass rusher capable of winning off the edge in multiple ways.

"Stewart dealt with a back injury last season, which led to some regression after an impressive true freshman campaign. Still, he's an elite athlete who has enormous potential as an NFL pass-rusher."
8. Atlanta Falcons
QB CJ Carr | Notre Dame

Atlanta addresses its ongoing quarterback search by selecting a poised pocket passer with big-time rhythm and throwing touch. CJ Carr steps into the Atlanta Falcons' offense as a cerebral distributor ready to unlock their skill talent.

"Carr is a timing and rhythm-based passer with mobility to hurt the defense when the situation arises. He thrives operating from inside the pocket and distributing the football to his receivers."
7. Carolina Panthers
CB Leonard Moore | Notre Dame

Carolina secures a long, technician-level boundary defender to pair alongside Jaycee Horn. Leonard Moore gives the Carolina Panthers high-level coverage IQ and boundary leverage to erase top perimeter options.

"The 2027 draft class' No. 1 cornerback prospect brings a great blend of size (6'2", 215 lbs), physicality and technique to any defensive back room."
6. Las Vegas Raiders
Edge Colin Simmons | Texas

Adding explosive edge pressure opposite Maxx Crosby gives the Silver & Black a terrifying pass-rushing tandem. Colin Simmons brings lightning-fast first-step acceleration to the Las Vegas Raiders, keeping enemy quarterbacks under constant siege.

"Simmons has special movement skills to work the edges. His hand-usage remains a work-in-progress to generate clean wins more frequently, and he could afford to add some mass to become a better run-defender."
5. Tennessee Titans
OT Trevor Goosby | Texas

Music City prioritizes long-term pocket protection for Cam Ward, landing a massive tackle prospect with rare physical tools. Trevor Goosby locks down the left side for the Tennessee Titans, giving their young offensive core a blue-collar anchor.

"Goosby is a high-floor prospect due to a sturdy build, good length and heavy hands that are already at a level rarely seen from a player his age (21)."
4. Cleveland Browns
QB Dante Moore | Oregon

Cleveland turns the page on its quarterback room by securing a smooth, mechanically sound passer out of Eugene. Dante Moore gives the Cleveland Browns an accurate distributor who processes pre-snap looks effortlessly and keeps the offense on schedule.

"Moore is a clean processor and smooth operator from a sound pocket. He is a stabilizing presence as a passer and when working on the move."
3. New York Jets
QB Arch Manning | Texas

Arming Gang Green with three first-round picks gives them all the draft ammo in the world, but they stay right at No. 3 to grab their franchise cornerstone. Arch Manning brings explosive arm talent and dual-threat mobility to the New York Jets, stepping into an offense already loaded with blue-chip weapons.

"Manning possesses the physical ability and flashes of processing acumen that translate to the NFL. He's still learning to become a more efficient field general, but he wins with plus-athleticism as a scrambler."
2. Arizona Cardinals
QB Darian Mensah | Miami

Moving past short-term veteran bridge options, the Arizona Cardinals land a cold-blooded field general with elite accuracy and big-game poise. Transferring into Coral Gables after leading Duke to an ACC title, Darian Mensah brings the operational mechanics and deep touch needed to revitalize the Cardinals' offense.

"Mensah plays with immense poise and calmness in the pocket and during big games. His ability to raise his level of play despite lacking premium talent at both Tulane and Duke displays his level of impact."
1. Miami Dolphins
WR Jeremiah Smith | Ohio State

South Beach opts for pure individual dominance over forcing a signal-caller reach, handing Malik Willis the single most terrifying perimeter weapon in college football. The Buckeye phenom gives the Miami Dolphins an instant alpha target who reshapes coverages the moment he steps onto the field.

"Smith blends together an elite combination of size (6'4", 222 lbs), speed, strength and ball skills. He can align anywhere to defeat either zone or man coverages."
