# Rob Rang: Rang published a full first-round 2027 NFL mock draft, projecting Arch Manning first overall to Arizona, Dante Moore second to Miami, and 30 more selections, plus expectations that the Jets' own pick and Denver's pick will land later than the projected order. **Claimed:** Sep 3, 2026 **Pundit:** Rob Rang — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/rob-rang **Outlet:** Fox Sports — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/fox-sports **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/2027-nfl-mock-draft-arch-manning-dante-moore-no-1-overall 34 checkable claims — 32 mock draft picks and 2 team draft slot calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 61 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 12 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 7 and below it on 5. > Manning isn't without his flaws, but there are plenty of signs that he could be the sort of franchise-changer the Cardinals need to become relevant again. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Colin Simmons to be picked at number 6** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Colin Simmons, Atlanta Falcons - Verdict: not settled yet - **A'Mauri Washington to be picked at number 10** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: A'Mauri Washington, New York Giants - Verdict: not settled yet - **Ellis Robinson to be picked at number 9** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Ellis Robinson, New Orleans Saints - Verdict: not settled yet - **Austin Siereveld to be picked at number 29** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Austin Siereveld, Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet - **Cam Coleman to be picked at number 8** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Cam Coleman, Carolina Panthers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Charlie Becker to be picked at number 25** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Charlie Becker, Kansas City Chiefs - Verdict: not settled yet - **Will Echoles to be picked at number 12** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Will Echoles, New York Jets - Verdict: not settled yet - **Kelley Jones to be picked at number 14** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Kelley Jones, Minnesota Vikings - Verdict: not settled yet - **Yhonzae Pierre to be picked at number 24** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Yhonzae Pierre, San Francisco 49ers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Dylan Stewart to be picked at number 4** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Dylan Stewart, Cleveland Browns - Verdict: not settled yet - **Matayo Uiagalelei to be picked at number 30** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Matayo Uiagalelei, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **Sam Leavitt to be picked at number 32** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Sam Leavitt, Cleveland Browns - Verdict: not settled yet - **Kewan Lacy to be picked at number 26** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Kewan Lacy, Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Leonard Moore to be picked at number 5** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Leonard Moore, Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: not settled yet - **Tae Johnson to be picked at number 27** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Tae Johnson, New England Patriots - Verdict: not settled yet - **New York Jets to pick “much lower than No. 3 overall”** - Kind: Team Draft Slot Calls · About: New York Jets - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jyaire Hill to be picked at number 23** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Jyaire Hill, Los Angeles Chargers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Bryant Wesco to be picked at number 21** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Bryant Wesco, Houston Texans - Verdict: not settled yet - **Denver Broncos to pick “picking later than DraftKings' current projection (No. 20)”** - Kind: Team Draft Slot Calls · About: Denver Broncos - Verdict: not settled yet - **Ahmad Moten Sr. to be picked at number 31** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Ahmad Moten Sr., Buffalo Bills - Verdict: not settled yet - **Ashton Hampton to be picked at number 28** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Ashton Hampton, Philadelphia Eagles - Verdict: not settled yet - **Kade Pieper to be picked at number 22** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Kade Pieper, Detroit Lions - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jordan Seaton to be picked at number 17** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Jordan Seaton, Chicago Bears - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jeremiah Smith to be picked at number 3** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Jeremiah Smith, New York Jets - Verdict: not settled yet - **Sammy Brown to be picked at number 15** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Sammy Brown, Pittsburgh Steelers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Dante Moore to be picked at number 2** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Dante Moore, Miami Dolphins - Verdict: not settled yet - **Arch Manning to be picked at number 1** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Arch Manning, Arizona Cardinals - Verdict: not settled yet - **Trey'Dez Green to be picked at number 11** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Trey'Dez Green, Washington Commanders - Verdict: not settled yet - **KJ Bolden to be picked at number 19** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: KJ Bolden, Cincinnati Bengals - Verdict: not settled yet - **C.J.
