In a recent poll conducted by ESPN among 10 NFL scouts, Dante Moore from the University of Oregon emerged as the early favorite for the 2027 NFL Draft, accumulating 24 points. Following him is Arch Manning from Texas with 16 points, while Julian Sayin from Ohio State and Brendan Sorsby from Texas Tech are tied for third with 5 points each. The poll reflects a promising depth in the upcoming quarterback class, with scouts noting that at least 15 quarterbacks could be considered for first-round selections. This optimism comes after two consecutive drafts in 2025 and 2026 that lacked high-end quarterback talent. The scouts also highlighted other potential candidates, including Rocco Becht from Penn State and Nico Iamaleava from UCLA, indicating a competitive landscape for the 2027 draft. With top college quarterbacks earning salaries comparable to NFL draft picks, the stakes are high for these young players as they navigate their paths toward professional football.
