# 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.thegoodapps.co/pundits/charlie-campbell **Outlet:** Walter Football — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.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 bet. It names 25 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. > 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 - **Arch Manning to be 1st quarterback off the board** - Kind: Position Order Calls · About: Arch Manning - Verdict: not settled yet - **Gunner Stockton, QB, Georgia ...
