The 2027 NFL Draft is shaping up to be a quarterback extravaganza with potential game-changers like Arch Manning and Dante Moore leading the charge. Here’s why this upcoming draft could drastically alter the future for several teams in need of a new signal-caller.
With a projected five quarterbacks going in the first round, including three in the top four picks, the 2027 class could rival the depth of the standout 2021 draft. The Indianapolis Colts face uncertainty with Daniel Jones' future, as they could opt for a complete reboot if he struggles post-injury. Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers might find themselves searching for their next franchise QB if they decide against extending Baker Mayfield, who is set to hit free agency.
The New Orleans Saints are also in a precarious position; after giving Tyler Shough a nine-game audition, they may still look to draft another quarterback if he falters. The Atlanta Falcons, with Tua Tagovailoa on a minimum contract, could also be in the mix for new talent if Michael Penix Jr. doesn't meet expectations.
As the clock ticks towards the draft, these teams could make pivotal decisions that shape their futures.
