Oklahoma State's Drew Mestemaker was the overwhelming choice, receiving 17 of 25 votes.

In the 2027 quarterback draft class, Drew Mestemaker from Oklahoma State has emerged as the top prospect in the eyes of NFL evaluators. ESPN's midseason poll, which surveyed 25 scouts and executives, revealed that Mestemaker received an overwhelming 17 out of 25 votes as the first quarterback to be selected in the upcoming draft.

Noted quarterback prospects such as Texas' Arch Manning, Oregon's Dante Moore, Notre Dame's CJ Carr, and Miami's Darian Mensah did not receive any votes in the poll. The article advises readers to revise their mock drafts in light of this development. Mestemaker's performance statistics this season include a completion rate of 65.5%, 2,649 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions. His passing rating stands at an impressive 168.8.
