James Dator of SB Nation dropped his “Way-Too-Early” 2027 NFL Mock Draft and before I reveal a couple of things, a couple of notes from me.

The Arizona Cardinals do not pick first overall – Sure they are picking in the top five again, but not first overall, which is nice.
The 2026 big free agent quarterback signing leads to the Dolphins getting the first pick.
The Jets are the Jets.
According to our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook Arch Manning is +150 to go first overall in the 2027 NFL Draft. Dante Moore is next at +550 and a new name has emerged, Jeremiyah Love’s teammate C.J. Carr is +600. For the Arizona Cardinals, if they are drafting this high again, you have to assume the quarterback situation is still a mess. So, let’s take a look at how they fix that, I will give you Dator’s top five picks, from there make sure you check out the rest of his 2027 NFL Mock Draft.
