# Ryan Wilson: The CBS Sports piece (written by the co-host of 'With the First Pick') maintains that Oregon's Dante Moore is the top quarterback and top overall player on its 2027 big board, with Oklahoma State's Drew Mestemaker having entered the season ranked ninth among quarterbacks in the class. **Claimed:** Sep 14, 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-dante-moores-early-struggles-drew-mestemaker/ 2 checkable claims — 2 position order calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 2 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. > Moore entered the season as my QB1 and the No. 1 player on my big board. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Drew Mestemaker to be 9th quarterback off the board** - Kind: Position Order Calls · About: Drew Mestemaker - Verdict: not settled yet - **Dante Moore to be 1st quarterback off the board** - Kind: Position Order Calls · About: Dante Moore - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Drew Mestemaker — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/drew-mestemaker - Dante Moore — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/dante-moore ## What others said about the same people - Charlie Campbell on Dante Moore: Reviewing Week 4 college games, Campbell projected a range of 2027 NFL Draft outcomes: Dante Moore as a likely first-rounder if healthy, Jayden Maiava as a backup-caliber NFL player, Oregon's defensive linemen as second- or third-rounders, and first-round grades for Dylan Stewart and Colin Simmons, with Simmons potentially a top-10 pick. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/704457e3-37a5-488c-ad02-cf2004b3ed9b (not settled) - Mike Renner on Drew Mestemaker: Renner ranks Mestemaker as the No. 9 overall prospect in the class. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/375cf947-be6d-4cda-b2f0-e909131c050e (not settled) - Josh Edwards on Drew Mestemaker: The unbylined author says that in his own summer evaluation process Mestemaker graded as a top-50 overall prospect, in a second tier behind Arch Manning, Dante Moore and LaNorris Sellers. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/e0403bed-6cce-41ef-95b2-36b4eaad1efe (not settled) - Josh Edwards on Dante Moore: 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. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/58126cd0-e22d-4c12-8c23-f9a979de6d7d (not settled) - Michael David Smith on Dante Moore: Smith describes Oregon QB Dante Moore as a potential No. 1 overall pick in the 2027 NFL draft, and says one poor game doesn't rule out him being a top pick. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/d38ae4ee-f925-458f-a8ca-6c18bcf395d5 (not settled) - Charlie Campbell on Dante Moore: Campbell ranks the top quarterback prospects available for the 2027 NFL Draft, giving each a projected draft round and a projected 40-yard dash time, with Arch Manning and Dante Moore as first-rounders at the top and Jackson Arnold and Max Johnson projected as undrafted free agents. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/f8cdb6e9-9f93-4ccc-8fb1-9e1fc88eb1ba (not settled) ## More position order calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Nick Shook on Olaivavega Ioane: 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 35.36) - Rhett Lewis on Tyler Shough: Lewis names Louisville's Tyler Shough as the new QB3 of the class — the third quarterback off the board — and views Milroe as a second-round selection. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/d116ab63-5271-4b18-838b-29bb93d58530 (scored 100) - Nick Wright on Carnell Tate: Nick Wright laid out his full mock draft 3.0 for the 2026 NFL Draft, pick by pick through the first round, and also predicted AJ Brown would finish top five in the NFL in receiving yards with the Patriots. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/77faa345-d736-4a90-8185-b1b92c789e5a (scored 100) - Todd McShay on K.C.
