# Josh Edwards: A CBS Sports 2027 NFL mock draft projecting the full first round plus select second-round picks, headlined by Arch Manning going No. 1 overall to Miami and five quarterbacks in Round 1. **Claimed:** Sep 14, 2026 **Pundit:** Josh Edwards — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/josh-edwards **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/cbs-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2027-nfl-mock-draft-five-quarterbacks/ 38 checkable claims — 38 mock draft picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 69 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 3 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 2. > There are five quarterbacks in this first-round projection, but this is an exercise in wish-casting. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Yhonzae Pierre to be picked at number 15** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Yhonzae Pierre, Minnesota Vikings - Verdict: not settled yet - **Cam Coleman to be picked at number 12** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Cam Coleman, Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jordan Seaton to be picked at number 16** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Jordan Seaton, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **Trevor Goosby to be picked at number 17** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Trevor Goosby, Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jadan Baugh to be picked at number 20** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Jadan Baugh, New England Patriots - Verdict: not settled yet - **Boubacar Traore to be picked at number 21** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Boubacar Traore, Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jamari Johnson to be picked at number 22** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Jamari Johnson, San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Colton Hood to be picked at number 41** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Colton Hood, Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Germie Bernard to be picked at number 48** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Germie Bernard - Verdict: not settled yet - **Greg Johnson to be picked at number 26** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Greg Johnson, Houston Texans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Will Echoles to be picked at number 10** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Will Echoles, New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet - **Eli Stowers to be picked at number 62** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Eli Stowers, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Brauntae Johnson to be picked at number 23** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Brauntae Johnson, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Drake Lindsey to be picked at number 11** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Drake Lindsey, Cleveland Browns - Verdict: not settled yet - **Sammy Brown to be picked at number 27** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Sammy Brown, Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **A'Mauri Washington to be picked at number 29** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: A'Mauri Washington, Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - **LaNorris Sellers to be picked at number 3** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: LaNorris Sellers, New York Jets - Verdict: not settled yet - **Chris Cole to be picked at number 24** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Chris Cole, Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Trey'Dez Green to be picked at number 8** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Trey'Dez Green, Carolina Panthers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Zach Lutmer to be picked at number 28** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Zach Lutmer, Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Dylan Stewart to be picked at number 5** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Dylan Stewart, Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: not settled yet - **Colin Simmons to be picked at number 6** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Colin Simmons, Tennessee Titans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Leonard Moore to be picked at number 7** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Leonard Moore, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jeremiah Smith to be picked at number 4** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Jeremiah Smith, Washington Commanders - Verdict: not settled yet - **David Stone to be picked at number 18** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: David Stone, New York Jets - Verdict: not settled yet - **Romanas Frederique Jr. to be picked at number 19** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Romanas Frederique Jr., Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **C.J.

He also expected Zay Flowers and Puka Nacua to sit, Kyler Murray to play, and said Marvin Harrison Jr. projects as no better than a good No. 2 or high-end No. 3 receiver. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/662b7ba3-1bf6-4ad0-9f93-9f2ab83143fd (scored 100) - Connor Rogers on New York Giants: Rogers picked Detroit, Houston, Carolina, Kansas City, Seattle and the Giants to win their Week 3 games, saying the Chiefs win by two touchdowns and the Giants by a field goal. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/83d1e88b-95a0-45ba-83d3-f86297170c6c (scored 100) - Chris Long on Cincinnati Bengals: Long liked the Rams over the Broncos on Sunday night even without Puka Nacua, and expected the Bills to beat the winless Chargers in Buffalo. He also backed the Bengals over the Steelers, expected an angry Detroit team to handle the Jets, and still thought both the Lions and Vikings could win the NFC North. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/3df9ea25-e57f-4fd7-b20c-c910a1c3633a (scored 0) - Steven Ruiz on Las Vegas Raiders: Previewing Week 3, Ruiz picked the Ravens to beat the Cowboys in Brazil, Jacksonville over New England in a low-scoring game, an upset by the Broncos over the Rams, the Raiders over the Saints, the Eagles over the Bears, the Lions over the Jets, and his Hail Mary that Houston beats Indianapolis by two touchdowns. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/a30ff469-4972-4c48-855b-ba984e4de9d0 (scored 100) - Nate Tice on Baltimore Ravens: Tice matched his guest on every Week 3 game, picking the Ravens over the Cowboys, the Jaguars over the Patriots in a close game, the Broncos to upset the Rams, the Raiders over the Saints, the Eagles over the Bears and the Lions over the Jets. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b8378e16-ea5c-4107-a883-28aaf0e71134 (scored 100) - Chris Simms on Green Bay Packers: Simms picked the Packers to beat the Falcons in the Thursday night game by a low score, expecting a defensive struggle. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b12420c5-837c-4a24-8a8e-c74b10cc697c (scored 9.52) ## More mock draft picks The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Ryan Wilson on J.J. McCarthy: Recalling his pre-draft evaluation, Wilson notes he had ranked J.J. McCarthy as the fifth quarterback in the 2024 class and given him a second-round grade rather than a first-round one, citing the gap between Michigan's system and NFL demands. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/44cc5859-8b2b-4fbf-b5c0-62c635f2e357 (scored 36.92) - Gregg Rosenthal on K.C. Concepcion: Rosenthal disagrees most with Casey Concepcion being left out of the first round, arguing he could go as high as the top 15 and certainly won't last past receiver-needy teams in the late twenties. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/8fae9a3a-7fd8-454c-99cc-0a8400c35d7d (scored 67.71) - Nick Shook on Francis Mauigoa: Shook walks through his full first-round mock draft, assigning a prospect to every pick from No. 1 to No. 32, headlined by Fernando Mendoza to the Raiders, David Bailey to the Jets and Jeremiah Love to the Cardinals in the top three. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/7d4209aa-2e2d-47a2-b6e5-791d16d209cb (scored 87.81) - Jeff Cavanaugh on Lorenzo Styles: Streaming from the NFL Combine, Jeff pegged safety Dylan Thienemann's draft range at roughly picks 20-35, said LSU safety AJ Halsey would cost a second- or third-round pick, and insisted Sonny Styles' brother would not be a top-50 selection despite a fast 40. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/f1f48cc1-f9d5-44ca-b130-2c6447b49bc6 (scored 0.51) - Steve Mensch on Makai Lemon: Making the even-numbered picks in the mock, he sent Arvell Reese to the Jets at No. 2, Spencer Fano to the Giants at 5, Jordan Tyson to the Saints at 8, a Tennessee cornerback to Miami at 11, Keldric Faulk to Baltimore at 14, Akheem Mesidor to Dallas at 20, Kenyon Sadiq to Philadelphia at 23, Caleb Banks to Buffalo at 26, Ty Simpson to the Rams at 29 and Chris Johnson to Seattle at 32, plus Caleb Lomu to Detroit at 17. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/f65851f3-1c53-4ae9-80ef-875db5ce2a3f (scored 100) - Tom Pelissero on Ashton Jeanty: Pelissero says Cam Ward is the Titans' pick at the top of the 2025 draft and that Travis Hunter is most likely the Browns' selection at No. 2; he also endorses Tyler Warren as a top-10 pick, expects Ashton Jeanty inside the top 10, and names five under-the-radar players who could sneak into round one, including Emeka Egbuka between picks 20-25 and Tyler Shough (whom he pegs more likely as a Day 2 pick). — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b7089cf4-c63d-4d43-84a4-072b1d2ee328 (scored 100) --- Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened. The naive guess is what a strategy requiring no knowledge would have scored on the same call — the difference is the skill, and it is what the MissedTakes Score averages.
