QUARTERBACK RANKINGS 2027 NFL DRAFT

This is the strongest quarterback class we have graded in seven years. Five of them sit inside our overall top fifteen and three hold down the top four. No class in that span has put more than four that high, and the most recent managed one.

Dante Moore leads it, a Manning Award finalist who took Oregon to a College Football Playoff semi-final and closed the Orange Bowl as offensive MVP. Julian Sayin led the nation in completion percentage and finished fourth in the Heisman voting. Arch Manning, the consensus number one recruit of his cycle, rewrote Peyton's and Eli's records at Isidore Newman. CJ Carr set a Notre Dame passer-rating record as a redshirt freshman, his 9.4 yards an attempt second in the country. Drew Mestemaker never started a high school game and walked on at North Texas, then led the FBS in passing yards and won the Burlsworth Trophy.

All five return to school for another season, so the order is a long way from settled.
