It\u2019s that time of the NFL calendar where pretty much nothing is going on, which makes it an intriguing time to peek at next year\u2019s draft.<\/p>\n
Even though there are still a few high profile free agents remaining, teams are in OTAs and not much else is happening right now.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s take a crack at a 2027 NFL Draft top 10 mock.<\/p>\n
Arizona Cardinals: Jeremiah Smith, WR, Ohio State<\/h2>\n
After drafting Jeremiyah Love in the top five<\/a>, the Cardinals are about to learn how many other holes they actually have.<\/p>\n They need to work something out with starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who is a capable enough bridge to navigate this rebuild in the desert. Smith is the best receiving prospect since Calvin Johnson, and an absolute no-brainer for a rebuilding squad drafting No. 1 overall.<\/p>\n Another team that needs help everywhere, especially defensively, Simmons is a can\u2019t miss target for the Dolphins.<\/p>\n The Dolphins would\u2019ve loved Smith to be available to better support Malik Willis<\/a>. But assuming he\u2019s off the board, Miami could help defensive-minded head coach Jeff Haffley (assuming he\u2019s still employed) with an absolute gamewrecker in Simmons.<\/p>\n A surprise? Perhaps not. Moore could\u2019ve been the No. 2 overall pick to the Jets if he would\u2019ve left Oregon and declared for the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n One year later, the Jets could get the quarterback they\u2019ve likely already done a plethora of work on, who will likely be coming off of another stellar year with a loaded Ducks team.<\/p>\n The Raiders should be much better offensively with Ashton Jeanty and Fernando Mendoza. This is another team that would love Smith, but let\u2019s not forget that they tried to trade Maxx Crosby just a few months ago.<\/p>\n Stewart could complement Crosby or replace him. Either way, he\u2019s an impact player that fits the timeline in Vegas.<\/p>\n The Browns are currently trying to pick between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders<\/a> as their starting quarterback.<\/p>\n It\u2019s possible that neither of those guys are on their roster in 2027 after the team drafts Manning, their newest hope at quarterback. After two years of loading up the roster with young talent, Cleveland could actually be an ideal landing spot for Manning, assuming he takes another step forward at Texas this season.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here comes the run on quarterbacks.<\/p>\n New Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski just can\u2019t quit quarterback controversies. He arrived in Atlanta with Michael Penix Jr., but quickly added free agent quarterback Tua Tagovailoa following his release from the Dolphins.<\/p>\nMiami Dolphins: Colin Simmons, EDGE, Texas<\/h2>\n
