NFL Draft predictions: No. 1 pick, risers, sleepers, more - CBS Sports

CBS Sports’ early-September projection set for the 2027 NFL Draft tackles multiple top questions, with a quarterback-heavy class getting the most attention—while EDGE and wide receiver groups are also expected to be strong. For the No. 1 overall pick, Ryan Wilson favors Oregon QB Dante Moore, citing the film showing “No. 1” traits and his return to school after nearly being selected as the No. 2 prospect last spring. Josh Edwards’ No. 1 bet is Arch Manning of Texas, arguing owners could prefer the Manning name if the race stays close and noting he could theoretically return. The column also highlights Drew Mestemaker (Oklahoma State) as a sleeper, alongside Kenny Minchey (Kentucky) as another under-the-radar option.
