# Josh Edwards: An unsigned 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.thegoodapps.co/pundits/josh-edwards **Outlet:** CBS Sports — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.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 - **Greg Johnson to be picked at number 26** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Greg Johnson, Houston Texans - 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 - **Zach Lutmer to be picked at number 28** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Zach Lutmer, Los Angeles Chargers - 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 - **Eli Stowers to be picked at number 62** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Eli Stowers, Denver Broncos - 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 - **Trey'Dez Green to be picked at number 8** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Trey'Dez Green, Carolina Panthers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Justin Scott to be picked at number 32** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Justin Scott, Cleveland Browns - 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 - **Romanas Frederique Jr. to be picked at number 19** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Romanas Frederique Jr., Dallas Cowboys - Verdict: not settled yet - **Charlie Becker to be picked at number 13** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Charlie Becker, Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Verdict: not settled yet - **Ellis Robinson to be picked at number 14** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Ellis Robinson, New York Jets - Verdict: not settled yet - **Yhonzae Pierre to be picked at number 15** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Yhonzae Pierre, Minnesota Vikings - Verdict: not settled yet - **Trevor Lauck to be picked at number 30** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Trevor Lauck, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet - **KJ Bolden to be picked at number 31** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: KJ Bolden, Buffalo Bills - 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 - **Dylan Stewart to be picked at number 5** - Kind: Mock Draft Picks · About: Dylan Stewart, Las Vegas Raiders - Verdict: not settled yet - **C.J.
