NFL Mock Draft: A Surprise QB Joins Arch Manning, Dante Moore in Top 3

NFL Mock Draft: A Surprise QB Joins Arch Manning, Dante Moore in Top 3 projects the 2027 NFL Draft with a focus on a heavily discussed group of quarterbacks. Using PFN’s NFL Mock Draft Simulator, the article projects the first three picks as Arch Manning to the Arizona Cardinals at No. 1 overall, Dante Moore to the Minnesota Vikings (via MIA) at No. 2, and Darian Mensah to the New York Jets at No. 3. It argues Arizona could move forward with Manning even after drafting Carson Beck earlier, describing Beck as not a franchise option. The piece says Manning’s 2025 production with Texas included 26 passing touchdowns and 10 rushing touchdowns. For Moore, it cites the need to reduce turnovers after an additional year in Eugene, while Minnesota’s rationale includes preserving Justin Jefferson. Mensah’s ranking is presented as a surprise, noting his 2024 breakout at Tulane with nearly 4,000 passing yards and 34 touchdown passes. The article does not include the remainder of the draft in the provided excerpt.
