- 2027 Top NFL Draft Prospects

33 San Francisco 49ers

Mock Draft Prediction: Chase Bisontis, OG Texas A&M
First Round Pick: No First Round Pick
Projected Team Needs: QB, CB, WR

The 49ers have their pick of the top players on the board, but watch for them to trade down with so many top offensive tackles gone.

34 Arizona Cardinals

Mock Draft Prediction: Jermod McCoy, CB Tennessee
First Round Pick: Jeremiyah Love, RB Notre Dame
Projected Team Needs: QB, OT, EDGE

Best player available time - the Cardinals need playmakers.

35 Buffalo Bills

Mock Draft Prediction: Emmanuel Pregnon, OG Oregon
First Round Pick: No First Round Pick
Projected Team Needs: OT, EDGE, LB

The line needs more solid parts. They get a steal in Pregnon.

36 Las Vegas Raiders

Mock Draft Prediction: Denzel Boston, WR Washington
First Round Pick: Fernando Mendoza, QB Indiana
Projected Team Needs: OT, WR, OG

Give Mr. Mendoza a new guy to work with. Boston fights for every ball.

37 New York Giants

Mock Draft Prediction: Avieon Terrell, CB Clemson
First Round Pick: Arvell Reese, EDGE Ohio State; Francis Mauigoa, OT/OG Miami
Projected Team Needs: CB, DT, LB

The defensive tackles are there for the taking, but the corner value is just as good.

38 Houston Texans

Mock Draft Prediction: Kayden McDonald, DT Ohio State
First Round Pick: Kenyan Rutledge, OG Georgia Tech
Projected Team Needs: DT, OT, LB

Absolutely ridiculous that McDonald didn't go top 20, much less last this long.

39 Cleveland Browns

Mock Draft Prediction: Keionte Scott, CB Miami
First Round Pick: Spencer Fano, OT Utah; KC Concepcion, WR Texas A&M
Projected Team Needs: EDGE, CB, OG

The defensive back momentum of a good first round continues with an elite corner.

40 Kansas City Chiefs

Mock Draft Prediction: Zachariah Branch, WR Georgia
First Round Pick: Monsoor Delane, CB LSU; Peter Woods, DT Clemson
Projected Team Needs: WR. EDGE, OG

Oh great, a speedy playmaking weapon for Patrick Mahomes. 

41 Cincinnati Bengals

Mock Draft Prediction: Colton Hood, CB Tennessee
First Round Pick: No First Round Pick
Projected Team Needs: Edge, CB, OT

The cornerbacks will keep flying off the board in the early second round.

42 New Orleans Saints

Mock Draft Prediction: Zion Young, EDGE Missouri
First Round Pick: Jordyn Tyson, WR Arizona State
Projected Team Needs: EDGE, DT, CB

A total steal here, Young could've gone in the top 25 and no one would've blinked.

43 Miami Dolphins

Mock Draft Prediction: Carson Beck, QB Miami
First Round Pick: Kadyn Proctor, OT Alabama
Projected Team Needs: QB, EDGE, WR

Miami might be in the Arch Manning/Dante Moore sweepstakes for 2027, but it takes a big cut on a great-value flier with Beck.

44 New York Jets

Mock Draft Prediction: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S Toledo
First Round Pick: David Bailey, EDGE Texas Tech; Kenyon Sadiq, TE Oregon
Projected Team Needs: QB, CB, WR

The Jets need as many good defensive backs as they can get. McNeil-Warren is an absolute steal here.

45 Baltimore Ravens

Mock Draft Prediction: Gabe Jacas, EDGE Illinois
First Round Pick: Olaivavega Ioane, OG Penn State
Projected Team Needs: EDGE, DT, WR

This might be a tad low - Jacas could go fast in the second round - but there are other value prospects still around.

46 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Mock Draft Prediction: Anthony Hill. LB Texas
First Round Pick: Rueben Bain Jr., EDGE Miami
Projected Team Needs: LB, CB, DT

The improvement of the Tampa Bay defense continues.

47 Indianapolis Colts

Mock Draft Prediction: Cashius Howell, EDGE Texas A&M
First Round Pick: No First Round Pick
Projected Team Needs: EDGE, S, LB

The Colts would love to have a few options at edge rusher here, and they'll have them.

48 Atlanta Falcons

Mock Draft Prediction: Skyler Bell, WR UConn
First Round Pick: No First Round Pick
Projected Team Needs: WR, DT, OT

Bell flew under the scouting radar a bit, but he's an instant fit.

49 Minnesota Vikings

Mock Draft Prediction: AJ Haulcy, S LSU
First Round Pick: Caleb Banks, DT, Florida
Projected Team Needs: OT, CB, S

There's a chance the Vikings go with another defensive tackle after taking Banks in the first round.

50 Detroit Lions

Mock Draft Prediction: D’Angelo Ponds, CB Indiana
First Round Pick: Blake Miller, OT Clemson
Projected Team Needs: CB, EDGE, S

A slight reach, the cornerback run will start to dry up. Watch for Detroit to try trading up.

51 Carolina Panthers

Mock Draft Prediction: Eli Stowers, TE Vanderbilt
First Round Pick: Monroe Freeling, OT Georgia
Projected Team Needs: WR, TE, OG

A perfect option on the board at the right time. The receivers are just okay, but Stowers can be an elite pass catcher for Bryce Young.

52 Green Bay Packers

Mock Draft Prediction: Christen Miller, DT Alabama
First Round Pick: No First Round Pick
Projected Team Needs: EDGE, OT, DT

Get better, deeper, and stronger on the defensive front.

53 Pittsburgh Steelers

Mock Draft Prediction: Sam Roush, TE Stanford
First Round Pick: Max Iheanachor, OT, Arizona State
Projected Team Needs: QB, TE, WR

This is a bit of a reach, but Pittsburgh needs more playmakers on offense. It would love it if Eli Stowers slid here.

54 Philadelphia Eagles

Mock Draft Prediction: CJ Allen, LB Georgia
First Round Pick: Makai Lemon, WR USC
Projected Team Needs: EDGE, OG, TE

No one loves Georgia defensive players like Philadelphia - and for good reason.

55 Los Angeles Chargers

Mock Draft Prediction: Gennings Dunker, OG Iowa
First Round Pick: Akheem Mesidor, EDGE Miami
Projected Team Needs: OG, OT, CB

A wonderful value pick at just the right time, Dunker can play just about anywhere up front.

56 Jacksonville Jaguars

Mock Draft Prediction: Jacob Rodriguez, LB Texas Tech
First Round Pick: No First Round Pick
Projected Team Needs: EDGE, DT, LB

You want a quarterback for the defense? Here you go.

57 Chicago Bears

Mock Draft Prediction: Kyle Louis, LB Pitt
First Round Pick: Dillon Thieneman, S Oregon
Projected Team Needs: OT, EDGE, DT

The Bears love athletic defenders who can play a variety of roles. That's Louis.

58 San Francisco 49ers

Mock Draft Prediction: Elijah Sarratt, WR Indiana
First Round Pick: No First Round Pick
Projected Team Needs: QB, CB, WR

Sarratt wouldn't be a No. 1 receiver, but he'll be a whale of a two or three. He starts right away.

59 Houston Texans

Mock Draft Prediction: Josiah Trotter, LB Missouri
First Round Pick: Kenyan Rutledge, OG Georgia Tech
Projected Team Needs: DT, OT, LB

Another athletic, experienced tough guy to beef up an already great defense. 

60 Chicago Bears

Mock Draft Prediction: Zxavian Harris, DT Ole Miss
First Round Pick: Dillon Thieneman, S Oregon
Projected Team Needs: OT, EDGE, DT

The Bears could use more big, quick linemen for the rotation. Harris is a steal here.

61 Los Angeles Rams

Mock Draft Prediction: Caleb Tiernan, OT Northwestern
First Round Pick: Ty Simpson, QB Alabama
Projected Team Needs: OG, OT, CB

This is a bad spot for the Ram needs, but the team will go for more options for the line.

62 Denver Broncos

Mock Draft Prediction: Jake Golday, LB Cincinnati
First Round Pick: No First Round Pick
Projected Team Needs: TE, LB, DT

There's a chance the Broncos go tight end, and there should be a few good-value gets here, but Golday would be a nice linebacker here.

63 New England Patriots

Mock Draft Prediction: Derrick Moore, EDGE, Michigan
First Round Pick: Caleb Lomu, OT Utah
Projected Team Needs: EDGE, DT, WR

More pass rushers, more disruptive forces. That's Moore at the end of the second round.

64 Seattle Seahawks

Mock Draft Prediction: Zakee Wheatley, S Penn State
First Round Pick: Jadarian Price, RB Notre Dame
Projected Team Needs: OT, CB, EDGE

The Seahawks got their running back at the end of the first round, and now they get a nice value pick for the secondary.
