Way-Too-Early 2027 NFL Mock Draft: Cardinals Take a QB, Arch Manning Replaces Shedeur Sanders, More

The 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, which means teams and fans have shifted their attention to the chaos that is undrafted free agency.

While teams scramble to sign UDFAs, the real draft sickos are already starting to complete 2027 NFL mock drafts in PFSN’s NFL Mock Draft Simulator.

As one of said sickos, let’s look at each team’s 2026 rookie class and try to project who they’ll target in next year’s first round… with the caveat that a lot will obviously change between now and next April. Without further ado, here’s a way-too-early look at 2027.
