Many experts believe there will be another quarterback rush in the 2027 NFL Draft, scheduled April 29-May 1 in Washington.
Count ESPN’s Jordan Reid among them. In his new mock draft published Wednesday, he had the Cleveland Browns trading up from No. 4 to No. 1 with the Miami Dolphins to select Oregon Ducks QB Dante Moore (6-foot-3, 2026 pounds). The Arizona Cardinals grabbed Texas Longhorns QB Arch Manning (6-foot-4, 222 pounds) with pick No. 2, followed by the New York Jets taking Notre Dame Fighting Irish QB CJ Carr (6-foot-2, 215 pounds).
Even if the QB class fulfills expectations, teams selecting three at the top of the draft remains unlikely.
How many times have QBs gone 1-2-3 in the NFL Draft?
Since the common draft era began in 1967, QBs have been the top three picks four times: 1971, 1999, 2021 and 2024. Note: the 1971 class included Manning’s grandfather, Archie, whom the New Orleans Saints selected with pick No. 2, after the New England Patriots drafted Jim Plunkett. The Houston Oilers (now Tennessee Titans) took Dan Pastorini with pick No. 3.
