A crowded 2027 quarterback class tests draft instincts
The Wildly Deep 2027 QB Draft Class w/ Todd McShay. Plus, Actor Adam Scott!
Todd McShay’s quarterback rankings show how quickly physical upside, processing, tape, and projection can reorder a draft board.
- 1Dante Moore and Darian Mensah stand out for passing precision, while Arch Manning remains a high-upside but unfinished evaluation.
- 2LaNorris Sellers offers rare athletic tools, whereas C.J. Carr’s processing gives him a different path toward the top pick.
- 3Adam Scott connects The Whisper Man, Severance, and Step Brothers to a career built through gradual evolution rather than one breakthrough.
Don't miss
The 14-player quarterback draft exercise turns an already crowded class into a live argument over projection, tape, and reaches.
The brief
Todd McShay and Ryen Russillo examine a 2027 quarterback class with unusual depth, weighing whether seven passers could realistically become first-round picks.
Arch Manning has the pedigree and physical upside, but McShay ranks him fifth after a difficult Ohio State performance; the argument turns on how he responds.
Dante Moore and Darian Mensah draw praise for accuracy and timing, while LaNorris Sellers and C.J. Carr represent contrasting bets on athletic upside and processing.
A 14-quarterback draft exercise exposes the class’s uncertainty, as projections, tape, and possible reaches collide around Moore, Manning, Carr, Leavitt, Mensah, and others.
Adam Scott discusses The Whisper Man, working with Robert De Niro, and how Severance proved he could lead; Life Advice closes on ambition versus contentment.
