# Ryan Wilson: Based on summer scouting of the 2027 quarterback class, they list Dante Moore and Arch Manning as their top two QBs with top-five overall grades, Brendan Sorsby and Julian Sayin as their other first-round quarterbacks, and Jayden Maiava and Darian Mensah as early second-rounders. Moore is their QB1 on tape. **Claimed:** Aug 24, 2026 **Pundit:** Ryan Wilson — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/ryan-wilson **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-draft-qb-class-first-round-quarterbacks/ 7 checkable claims — 6 mock draft picks and 1 position order call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 7 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > The tape is why Moore is my QB1, and it's as good as anyone's in the class. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Dante Moore to be 1st quarterback off the board** - Kind: Position Order Calls · About: Dante Moore - Verdict: not settled yet - **Brendan Sorsby to be picked “first-round quarterbacks” (picks 1–32)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Brendan Sorsby - Verdict: not settled yet - **Darian Mensah to be picked “early in Round 2”** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Darian Mensah, Miami Dolphins - Verdict: not settled yet - **Jayden Daniels to be picked “early in Round 2”** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Jayden Daniels - Verdict: not settled yet - **Julian Sayin to be picked “first-round quarterbacks” (picks 1–32)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Julian Sayin - Verdict: not settled yet - **Arch Manning to be picked “top-five grades on my overall board” (picks 1–5)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Arch Manning - Verdict: not settled yet - **Dante Moore to be picked “top-five grades on my overall board” (picks 1–5)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Dante Moore - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Dante Moore — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/dante-moore - Brendan Sorsby — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/brendan-sorsby - Darian Mensah — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/darian-mensah - Miami Dolphins — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/dolphins - Jayden Daniels — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/jayden-daniels - Julian Sayin — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/julian-sayin - Arch Manning — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/arch-manning ## What others said about the same people - Alain Poupart on Carlos Washington: Poupart expects rookie guard Kadyn Proctor to clear concussion protocol and play against Detroit, sees Ollie Gordon II continuing as the Dolphins' workhorse back, and thinks practice squad back Carlos Washington Jr. could be elevated for the Lions game. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/8f436e4c-b47e-41c6-9c95-ad8a2e6a32f0 (scored 0) - Nick Brinkerhoff on Miami Dolphins: Predicts a 23-20 Dolphins win over the Jets. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/a38cb982-14c3-4bea-bf0f-f61b43e1535a (scored 100) - Mike Kadlick on Miami Dolphins: Picks the Dolphins to beat the Jets. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/23a2739f-abc5-4aea-9665-cebe61f324c5 (scored 100) - Alain Poupart on Miami Dolphins: Picks the Dolphins to upset the Jets 24-20, citing New York's run-defense problems against a Miami ground game led by Ollie Gordon II and Malik Willis. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/0737798d-0dca-47e8-926d-d78d3f3f095a (scored 97.62) - Alain Poupart on Miami Dolphins: Picks the Jets to beat the Dolphins 19-17, while predicting Miami will get its win over New York in the rematch five weeks later. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/9911cc3c-511b-46b0-b379-e65b36a962bf (scored 100) - Jourdan Rodrigue on Miami Dolphins: Roderick picked the Vikings to smash the Colts, the Dolphins to win their first game of the season against the Jets, and the Saints to upset the Steelers in Paris. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b45ad24a-5924-47e4-b85c-68b9fa738ef4 (scored 100) ## More mock draft picks The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Chris Simms on Malachi Corley: Simms named the Bears the NFL's best overall offense and best rushing offense, the Bengals the best passing offense, Seattle the best total defense, Minnesota the best pass defense and Tampa Bay the best run defense; they also called Tristan Wirfs the league's best offensive lineman, projected Miami's Malachi Toney as a top-15 pick, and predicted a 30-14 Jaguars win in Baltimore. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/c0fd4647-2de8-4a5f-bac2-950fed303ee9 (scored 11.46) - Todd McShay on Keelon Russell: While breaking down LSU's offense, McShay called receiver Jackson Harris a top-50 NFL draft prospect, and later said LSU's Sam Levitt and Alabama's Keelan Russell are potential top-10 picks in a future draft. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/15d40546-2ab9-4ab8-b5bd-ed0ef7f26ae5 (scored 0) - Philip Hughes on Kyle Kennard: Evaluating edge rusher Kyle Kennard ahead of the draft, the account projected them as a Day 2 selection. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/605a686a-b5f1-4611-82b4-961abf8de93e (scored 33.86) - Blaine Grisak on Brian Thomas Jr.: Grisak argues the Rams should not trade a second-round pick for Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr., calling it too great a risk and too high a cost.
