# Charlie Campbell: Reviewing Week 5 college games for 2027 NFL Draft purposes, Campbell projected draft slots for a number of prospects, including Jeremiah Smith as a top-of-the-draft receiver and future Pro Bowler, C.J. Carr and Leonard Moore as first-rounders, and more modest ranges for Damon Wilson, Bryant Wesco Jr., Kade Pieper, Jordan Faison and Boubacar Traore.

11 checkable claims — 10 mock draft picks and 1 pro bowl and all-pro call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 10 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.

> Moore looks like a first-round pick next April, and he could go in the top 10.
