# Charlie Campbell: 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. **Claimed:** Sep 7, 2026 **Pundit:** Charlie Campbell — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/charlie-campbell **Outlet:** Walter Football — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/walter-football **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://walterfootball.com/QBRankings2027.php 47 checkable claims — 23 mock draft picks, 22 combine measurements, 1 position order call and 1 top player list — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 22 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 1. > Sorsby has the talent to be a first- or second-round pick, but a gambling addiction that caused him to seek rehab is going to be a big burden on his grade with NFL teams and could cause him to slide. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Dalyn Williams to be picked “Round 2-3”** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Dalyn Williams - Verdict: not settled yet - **Brendan Sorsby to be picked “first- or second-round pick” (picks 1–64)** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Brendan Sorsby - Verdict: not settled yet - “Demond Williams, QB, Washington ...
