2027 NFL Draft: Jeremiah Smith is ahead of Arch Manning in initial 2027 NFL Draft big board
Four QBs make the list, but none in the top 3. And plenty of familiar college stars have first-round potential.
With the 2027 NFL Draft on the horizon, attention turns to the top prospects entering the draft. Among them, two receivers are currently ranked ahead of quarterback Arch Manning, who holds a very famous last name. Jeremiah Smith, a wide receiver from Ohio State, is considered one of the best non-QB prospects with an ideal height-weight-speed combination and outstanding game feel.
He has been compared to Andre Johnson's college performance, indicating great potential. Leonard Moore, a cornerback from Notre Dame, is nearly an elite athlete with a strong production record. In 26 college games, he recorded seven interceptions and 18 passes defended. While he is a willing tackler, improving consistency could elevate his game further.
Cam Coleman, a wide receiver from Texas, had a challenging season at Auburn but could shine in Austin with Ryan Wingo as his quarterback. He is physically gifted, an aerial acrobat, and could be a top-10 pick with better route-running consistency. Arch Manning, quarterback of Texas, lands high on the draft board due to his famous family name and physical traits.
Despite some rough patches in his early season, Manning displayed impressive athletic abilities, particularly in his bowl game against Michigan. His supporting cast at Texas is considered one of the best in America, potentially propelling him to the No. 1 overall pick.
