Even after moving on from Myles Garrett, the Browns can continue building an aggressive defensive identity with Ahmad Moten Sr. His ability to generate pressure from the interior would complement the talent already in place and keep offenses uncomfortable. Cleveland could end up with one of the most disruptive young fronts in football.

"Ahmad Moten Sr. is an upfield penetrator and one of the nation's best interior pass-rushers." — Brent Sobleski

1) New York Jets: QB Arch Manning, Texas

- Position: Quarterback
- School: Texas
- Conference: SEC
- Class: Junior

- Jersey Number: 16
The Jets have spent years searching for stability under center, and Arch Manning gives them a chance to finally reset the position with a player who carries both talent and expectations. His first full season as a starter showed meaningful progress, and another step forward could cement him as one of the top quarterbacks in the class. If New York is picking first overall, the franchise will be looking for a face of the rebuild, and Manning checks every box.

"By cleaning up his footwork and mechanics, his status will legitimately reflect his standing as a top quarterback prospect." — Brent Sobleski

If the Dolphins are drafting this high, adding elite talent becomes more important than forcing a quarterback selection. Jeremiah Smith has the type of rare ability that can immediately change the outlook of an offense and give Miami a true cornerstone piece. Pairing a receiver of his caliber with a young quarterback would create a much clearer path forward.

"Jeremiah Smith enters the 2027 cycle as the class's best overall prospect." — Brent Sobleski

The Browns cannot afford another long-term miss at quarterback, which makes Darian Mensah an intriguing option. His accuracy and ability to distribute the football stand out, and the move to Miami could help elevate his profile even further. If Cleveland is still searching for answers in 2027, Mensah could be the prospect that finally changes the conversation.

"Mensah is an excellent distributor to all three levels, with the accuracy and ball placement to layer throws." — Brent Sobleski

Arizona appears destined to revisit the quarterback position, and Dante Moore has the tools to be worth the investment. Returning to Oregon rather than entering the draft should allow him to refine aspects of his game while gaining valuable experience against top competition. The upside is evident, and another strong season could send his stock soaring.

The Titans have made a concerted effort to improve their defense, and Dylan Stewart would be another major piece of that puzzle. His blend of athleticism and pass-rushing upside gives him a chance to become one of the most feared defenders in the class. Tennessee could build a disruptive front around him for years to come.

"South Carolina's Dylan Stewart should be in consideration for the No. 1 overall prospect in the 2027 class." — Brent Sobleski

The Raiders have long relied on pressure off the edge, and Colin Simmons would help keep that identity intact. He brings explosiveness and natural pass-rushing instincts that are difficult to teach, making him a dangerous weapon from day one. His development over the next year could determine just how high he ultimately climbs.

"Simmons has the burst, bend, and closing speed to be a high-level pass-rusher at the professional level." — Brent Sobleski

Pittsburgh's search for a franchise quarterback continues, and Drew Mestemaker is one of the more fascinating names to watch. His transfer to Oklahoma State puts him in a position to showcase his arm talent on a much bigger stage. If he produces at the level many expect, he could quickly become one of the fastest risers in the class.

A new front office means that old investments no longer carry the same weight, putting the Falcons in a position to explore every option. CJ Carr fits the mold of a quarterback who can thrive within structure while still making timely plays. His skill set aligns well with what Atlanta's leadership could be looking for in the long term.

The Saints have spent significant resources on offense, making the defense a logical focus moving forward. Leonard Moore has already generated the type of praise reserved for elite cornerback prospects, and his combination of size and coverage ability is hard to ignore. He projects as the kind of defender capable of transforming an entire secondary.

"Leonard Moore is arguably the highest-rated cornerback prospect since Patrick Peterson became a first-round pick in 2011." — Brent Sobleski

The Giants need more firepower around Malik Nabers, and Cam Coleman would give them exactly that. His size and downfield ability would add another dimension to the offense while helping create more favorable matchups across the board. The move to Texas could be what finally unlocks his full potential.

"The ability has always been there, but it'll be unlocked in Steve Sarkisian's offense." — Brent Sobleski

The Panthers may find themselves back in the quarterback market if they aren't fully convinced they've found their long-term answer. LaNorris Sellers brings the physical tools teams covet, with a powerful arm and the athleticism to create outside of structure. The consistency still needs to come, but his ceiling remains among the highest in the class.

Washington can never have too many weapons around Jayden Daniels, and Nick Marsh would add a different element to the offense.

Whether it's J.J. McCarthy, Kyler Murray, or someone else under center, Minnesota needs to continue investing in protection.

After moving on from a star corner, the Jets would be betting on another premium talent at the position. Ellis Robinson IV has all the athletic traits teams look for and started putting everything together last season. His upside alone makes him one of the most intriguing defenders in the draft.

Chicago still needs another consistent pass rusher opposite Montez Sweat, and Quincy Rhodes Jr. fits the bill. His power at the point of attack already translates, and he has shown enough as a pass rusher to believe there's another level to his game. The Bears could use a player with his size and physicality along the edge.

The Texans have received steady production from their tight end room, but Jamari Johnson offers a different level of explosiveness.

The Jets have spent years searching for stability under center, and Arch Manning gives them a chance to finally reset the position with a player who carries both talent and expectations. His first full season as a starter showed meaningful progress, and another step forward could cement him as one of the top quarterbacks in the class. If New York is picking first overall, the franchise will be looking for a face of the rebuild, and Manning checks every box.

"By cleaning up his footwork and mechanics, his status will legitimately reflect his standing as a top quarterback prospect." — Brent Sobleski
