Naz Reid stays tough after taking an elbow from Spurs' Wembanyama in Game 4
The 2027 NFL Draft quarterback class could see up to six players selected in the first round, reminiscent of the legendary 1983 class. Arch Manning is currently the consensus top prospect for the draft.
There will most likely never be a quarterback draft class like 1983. With John Elway, Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, Ken O'Brien, Tony Eason and Todd Blackledge, it is the gold standard for QB draft classes. All six of those aforementioned names were selected in the first round that year, and it's a class that produced three Hall of Famers, four Super Bowl participants and multiple MVPs.
Not saying that next year could be anything like the 1983 class, as that was generationally elite. However, we could easily see six signal callers go in the first round again. Only time will tell if they develop into elite QBs or not.
The 2027 class could be special, and it all starts with the college football player that you have heard and read about the most. Manning has had as much hype as any prospect in recent memory, but he made the right choice to stay in school another year. Much like a year ago at this time, Manning is the consensus projection to go first overall in the next draft.
Moore was projected to easily be a top five pick, had he come out this year. Thus, it stands to reason that this disciple of Cleveland Browns QB Dillon Gabriel will be in the mix to go first overall next April. Coming back to school may have been a bit of a risky proposition for Moore, but as long as he stays healthy, it's a decision that will pay off nicely for him.
The Trojans signal caller is the classic example of somebody who wasn't well known, at a mainstream level, at the beginning of the season but as the campaign went on. Leading a , Maiava started to reach his potential. Hawaii has been producing more stellar footbal players lately, and Maiava is next.
Arch Manning is the most notable quarterback expected to be a top pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.
While the 2027 class may not reach the elite status of the 1983 class, it could feature up to six quarterbacks selected in the first round.
Arch Manning has garnered significant hype and is projected to be the first overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.
If multiple quarterbacks from the 2027 class develop into elite players, it could significantly shape the future dynamics of the NFL.

The Duke transfer is poised to develop his game to the next level in Coral Gables. Mensah is a dual-threat QB who just might prove to be the next classic example of someone who really boosted their professional prospects due to NIL.

This Carr will be in the driver's seat to take the Irish offense in a new direction this fall. Obviously, ND was ground-oriented in 2025 as they boasted the only two tailbacks who became first round draft picks last month. But with both Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price now gone, this is Carr's team, and perhaps he'll make the most of that. Expect a Maiava in '25 like positive trajectory.
