FOX Sports Rob Rang 2027 NFL Mock Draft
Draft Projection: Rob Rang’s 2027 First-Round NFL Mock Draft

With the college football season in full swing and the NFL campaign rolling, FOX Sports draft analyst Rob Rang released his comprehensive 2027 first-round NFL Mock Draft. Utilizing inverse Super Bowl odds to set the selection order, Rang’s 32-pick forecast features quarterback chaos at the top, a three-pick haul for the New York Jets, and a heavy infusion of trench monsters across the board.

Let's break down how Rob projects Round 1 will unfold.
32. Cleveland Browns (from Rams)
Sam Leavitt | QB, LSU

Closing out the first round with the draft capital acquired in the Myles Garrett trade, Cleveland doubles down on its quarterback search. Sam Leavitt brings moxie, playmaking flair, and high-level SEC experience to the Cleveland Browns, providing a high-upside signal-caller to groom under center.

"Cleveland will almost certainly target a quarterback on Day 1 of the 2027 draft. One intriguing option is Leavitt, who flashed at Arizona State and I believe will flourish at LSU with Lane Kiffin."
31. Buffalo Bills
Ahmad Moten | DT, Miami

Buffalo adds an explosive interior disruptor to fortify their defensive front line. Ahmad Moten brings elite first-step quickness and pocket-collapsing power from the ACC, giving the Buffalo Bills a physical anchor who can penetrate backfields and disrupt opposing run schemes.

"While he needs to prove that last year’s breakout was not merely the byproduct of opponents focusing heavily on 2026 first-round edge rushers Rueben Bain Jr. (Bucs) and Akheem Mesidor (Chargers), Moten has all the traits to earn first-round consideration."
30. Seattle Seahawks
Matayo Uiagalelei | Edge, Oregon

The defending Super Bowl champions reload their "Darkside" front seven with a physical, long edge rusher who plays with a vets composure. Matayo Uiagalelei brings power against both the run and pass for the Seattle Seahawks.

"He wins against the pass and the run with his length, power and pro-ready technique."
29. Baltimore Ravens
Austin Siereveld | OL, Ohio State

Baltimore adds a broad, powerful interior offensive lineman with starting tackle experience to anchor their trenches. Austin Siereveld brings balance and brute power to the Baltimore Ravens' run-heavy attack.

"Siereveld was the Buckeyes’ starting left tackle a year ago and plays with surprising balance at 6-foot-5, 325 pounds. I think he might be even better inside at guard or center due to his broad, powerful frame."
28. Philadelphia Eagles
Ashton Hampton | CB, Clemson

Howie Roseman snags a long, athletic boundary corner with massive NFL upside to develop in Philly's secondary. Ashton Hampton brings pressing size and bigtim coverage traits to the Philadelphia Eagles.

"The 6-foot-3, 204-pound Hampton looks the part of a future NFL star and has flashy tape, but his technique is inconsistent."
27. New England Patriots
Tae Johnson | S, Notre Dame

The defending AFC champions reinforce their safety room with a long, athletic defensive back featuring big-play ability. Tae Johnson brings a ready-now skill set to the New England Patriots' secondary.

"Johnson has size (6-foot-2, 195 pounds), speed and ball-hawking skills."
26. Dallas Cowboys (from Packers)
Kewan Lacy | RB, Ole Miss

Adding home-run juice to the backfield gives Big D an explosive running back who dominated SEC defenses last fall. Kewan Lacy brings game-breaking acceleration and high-volume scoring ability to the Dallas Cowboys.

"Some scouts believe he is the second coming of De’Von Achane."
25. Kansas City Chiefs
Charlie Becker | WR, Indiana

Patrick Mahomes gets a wideout with sticky hands to keep the chains moving in Kansas City. Charlie Becker brings consistent ball tracking and reliable hands to the Kansas City Chiefs.

"Becker is a polished route-runner and hands-catcher whose dependability could be especially coveted by the Chiefs."
24. San Francisco 49ers
Yhonzae Pierre | Edge, Alabama

Fortifying the pass rush opposite Nick Bosa gives the San Francisco 49ers a twitchy, high-effort edge defender. Yhonzae Pierre brings speed-to-power conversion and relentless pursuit to the Bay.

"Pierre has both the twitch and toughness that would fit well with their current bunch."
23. Los Angeles Chargers
Jyaire Hill | CB, Michigan

Reunited with Jim Harbaugh on the West Coast, a physical, long cornerback gives the Los Angeles Chargers a boundary defender tailored for their system. Jyaire Hill brings length and aggressive press-coverage skills.

"The 6-foot-2, 189-pound Hill doesn’t have the gaudy statistics one normally associates with first-round cornerbacks... but his length and physicality project well."
22. Detroit Lions
Kade Pieper | C, Iowa

Brad Holmes stays true to Motor City's tough identity by snagging the premier interior offensive lineman in the draft. Cade Pieper brings blue-collar power and seamless center mobility to the Detroit Lions' front line.

"It isn’t often that teams are willing to select centers in the first round, but if Pieper’s transition to center (from right guard) this season goes as expected, he’ll earn it."
21. Houston Texans
Bryant Wesco Jr. | WR, Clemson

Injuries in the receiving room force Houston to reload C.J. Stroud's perimeter weapons with a track-star wideout. Bryant Wesco Jr. brings electric deep speed and Texas roots to the Houston Texans' passing attack.

"A Texas native who inherited his parents’ track-star speed, Wesco could be a perfect fit for Houston."
20. Denver Broncos
Jamari Johnson | TE, Oregon

Sean Payton gives his offense a breakout tight end candidate with versatile alignment skills. Jamari Johnson provides the Denver Broncos with a tough inline blocker and athletic seam receiver.

"Johnson was overshadowed by Kenyon Sadiq at Oregon last year, but he's one of my favorite breakout candidates this season."
19. Cincinnati Bengals
KJ Bolden | S, Georgia

Adding an instinctual, hard-hitting safety gives Who Dey Nation a defensive back who plays significantly bigger than his frame. KJ Bolden brings elite closing speed and physical tackling to the Cincinnati Bengals' secondary.

"Officially listed by Georgia at 6-0, 195 pounds, Bolden is slighter than most teams want at safety, but his instincts, physicality and closing speed pop off the tape."
18. New York Jets (from Cowboys)
CJ Carr | QB, Notre Dame

Closing out their three-pick first-round haul, Gang Green snags an intelligent, poised quarterback who proved his mental toughness under the spotlight in South Bend. CJ Carr brings accuracy and pre-snap processing to the New York Jets.

"Carr is an intriguing fit for New York because he showed exciting awareness and accuracy as a first-year starter last year for Notre Dame and is perhaps better prepared for the mental rigors of playing in the Big Apple — given the scrutiny he’s endured with the Irish along with being the grandson of former Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr."
17. Chicago Bears
Jordan Seaton | OT, LSU

Chicago continues betting on elite athletic traits upfront by grabbing a gifted offensive tackle prospect. Jordan Seaton brings rare quickness and foot agility to protect Caleb Williams for the Chicago Bears.

"The 6-foot-5, 307-pound Seaton boasts rare quickness and agility. If he passes the SEC test, he has a chance to be the first blocker taken next year."
16. Jacksonville Jaguars
Chris Cole | LB, Georgia

Replacing free-agent departures with an athletic, versatile linebacker gives the Jacksonville Jaguars a high-upside defender to move all over the field. Chris Cole boasts raw athletic traits that project toward a major breakout.

"The 6-foot-3, 235-pound Cole has been moved all over Georgia’s defense the past two seasons, so he doesn’t have the stats to suggest he’ll be a first-round pick. But his raw athleticism has scouts projecting him as one of this year’s breakout stars."
15. Pittsburgh Steelers
Sammy Brown | LB, Clemson

Adding a fast, hard-hitting linebacking star gives Steel City an economical upgrade in the heart of their defense. Sammy Brown brings sideline-to-sideline speed and multi-year All-ACC production to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"Patrick Queen is entering the final season of a three-year, $41 million contract. Brown — an All-ACC honoree after each of his first two seasons at Clemson — plays with similar speed at a much lower salary."
14. Minnesota Vikings
Kelley Jones | CB, Mississippi State

Brian Flores gets a towering 6-foot-4 cornerback with rare length and fluid movement to lock down perimeter passing lanes. Kelley Jones allowed just 11 catches last season, fitting the Minnesota Vikings' aggressive coverage scheme.

"New general manager Nolan Teasley saw a lot of success in Seattle with oversized cornerbacks and might also be willing to bet big on Jones’ potential."
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Trevor Lauck | OL, Iowa

Returning to the proven Iowa offensive line pipeline gives the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a technically sound, powerful interior blocker to protect Baker Mayfield. Trevor Lauck brings blue-collar toughness and reliable execution.

"Big, powerful and technically sound, Lauck is arguably the "safest" of this year’s offensive line prospects."
12. New York Jets (from Colts)
Will Echoles | DT, Ole Miss

Using draft capital acquired from trade negotiations, Gang Green fortifies their interior front line with a high-motor defensive tackle. Will Echoles plays with relentless energy and quickness for the New York Jets.

"Echoles isn’t as stout at the point of attack as Williams, but he’s cat-quick and passionate, playing with the high-revving motor Aaron Glenn would appreciate."
11. Washington Commanders
Trey'Dez Green | TE, LSU

Giving Jayden Daniels a 6-foot-7 mismatch weapon provides the Washington Commanders with an offensive engine down the seam. Trey'Dez Green plays like a supersized wide receiver, creating immediate trouble for opposing linebackers and safeties.

"Call Green a wide receiver or a tight end, the 6-foot-7, 240-pound target is a matchup nightmare."
10. New York Giants
A'Mauri Washington | DT, Oregon

Filling the void left in the middle of Big Blue's defense requires a massive, disruptive interior defender. A'Mauri Washington combines 330-pound size with rare foot quickness to reset enemy lines of scrimmage for the New York Giants.

"Football is a big man’s game, and Washington has rare quickness for his 6-foot-3, 330-pound frame."
9. New Orleans Saints
Ellis Robinson IV | CB, Georgia

Mickey Loomis doubles down on secondary athleticism by snagging a pure cover corner with elite burst. Ellis Robinson IV brings high-end agility and ball-hawking instincts to the New Orleans Saints' defense.

"Robinson isn’t as big or as physical as the aforementioned Leonard Moore, but he possesses elite agility, acceleration and ball skills."
8. Carolina Panthers
Cam Coleman | WR, Texas

Giving Bryce Young another lethal boundary weapon gives the Carolina Panthers an explosive perimeter duo alongside Tetairoa McMillan. Cam Coleman brings an acrobatic catch radius and explosive open-field playmaking to Charlotte.

"A springy athlete with excellent size and tracking skills, Coleman reminds me a lot of another star wideout playing in Texas: Cowboys star George Pickens."
7. Tennessee Titans
Trevor Goosby | OT, Texas

Protecting Cam Ward's blind side becomes priority number one in Music City after shaky left tackle play last season. Trevor Goosby possesses the length, quick feet, and athletic traits required to become the premier tackle for the Tennessee Titans.

"Goosby was fantastic last season, but it was his first as a starter. If he can build upon it, he has the talent to be the first offensive lineman drafted this spring."
6. Atlanta Falcons
Colin Simmons | EDGE, Texas

Injuries have depleted Atlanta's pass rush, making a high-octane edge defender an absolute necessity in Dirty Birds territory. Colin Simmons brings relentless speed-to-power conversion and backfield disruptiveness to fix the Atlanta Falcons' edge pressure.

"A former linebacker turned edge rusher following a similar path as Arvell Reese and Micah Parsons, Simmons is a one-man wrecking crew who could fix what currently ails Atlanta’s pass rush."
5. Las Vegas Raiders
Leonard Moore | CB, Notre Dame

Klint Kubiak's squad snags a lockdown boundary corner with elite size, smooth hips, and fluid coverage skills. Leonard Moore gives the Las Vegas Raiders a top-tier defensive back with elite instincts and ball skills.

"He's right with Derek Stingley and Patrick Surtain II as one of the cleanest cornerback prospects I’ve evaluated over the past decade."
4. Cleveland Browns
Dylan Stewart | EDGE, South Carolina

Reloading the defense with an explosive pass rusher gives the Cleveland Browns a game-wrecking end opposite their established defensive core. Dylan Stewart combines rare upfield slam, bend, and length to project as a dominant All-Pro defender.

"Stewart’s blend of burst, bend and length is the building blocks of a future All-Pro."
3. New York Jets
Jeremiah Smith | WR, Ohio State

Gang Green lands the undisputed top overall prospect on the draft board without needing to trade up. Jeremiah Smith brings a freakish athletic frame, blazing speed, and game-breaking perimeter dominance to the New York Jets' passing game.

"With all due respect to the quarterbacks, Smith is arguably the best player in this class, with a frame, speed and star power similar to a young Julio Jones."
2. Miami Dolphins
Dante Moore | QB, Oregon

Passing on wide receiver talent to land a blue-chip field general gives the Miami Dolphins a long-term catalyst for their offense. Dante Moore brings effortless rhythm, instinctive pocket movement, and elite accuracy to South Beach.

"He is currently a more instinctive and accurate passer than Manning and looks like a lock at this point to be among the first two players selected next spring — even if it requires another team trading up to get him."
1. Arizona Cardinals
Arch Manning | QB, Texas

Melding marquee star power with raw physical traits gives the Arizona Cardinals their ultimate franchise reset under center. Arch Manning entering his second full season as Texas' starter gives the desert a game-changing quarterback capable of reviving the entire organization.

"Manning isn’t without his flaws, but there are plenty of signs that he could be the sort of franchise-changer the Cardinals need to become relevant again."
