2027 NFL Mock Draft: Steelers and Vikings make their quarterback moves
No. 25 Philadelphia Eagles (via Jacksonville): Trevor Goosby, OT, Texas
This may go down as a tremendous slide in the draft, but with the No. 25 overall pick, the Eagles continue their roster reset with the selection of Trevor Goosby to lock down the left side of the offensive line. The fascinating tackle out of Texas could go anywhere in the top 15, but other teams' needs and a torn patellar tendon could cause concern, resulting in this slide to the late first round.
No. 26 Pittsburgh Steelers: Jayden Maiava, QB, USC
The Steelers add another young quarterback to the mix with the selection of Jayden Maiava at No. 26. The USC star quarterback has been one of the more consistent in 2026. His strong play should raise his draft stock to at least the late first round. The Steelers grab him here, setting up a summer of QB competition between Maiava, Drew Allar and Will Howard. Work your magic, Mike McCarthy.
No. 27 Detroit Lions: Kelley Jones, CB, Mississippi State
The Detroit Lions rank dead last in the NFL in passing yards allowed. In selecting Kelley Jones with the No. 27 overall pick, the Lions begin to reshape the secondary around a player ascending as one of the top cornerbacks in the nation. At 6-foot-4, 205 pounds and with tremendous speed, Jones won't solve the secondary issue all by himself, but he is a player the Lions can build around in that defensive backfield.
No. 28 Minnesota Vikings: Trinidad Chambliss, QB, Mississippi
The trade deadline reunion with Kirk Cousins is a temporary fix at quarterback. Ole Miss star Trinidad Chambliss presents a long-term option. Although a bit undersized at the position, Chambliss plays bigger and has too much talent and potential to let slide out of the first round.
No. 29 Denver Broncos: A'Mauri Washington, DL, Oregon
The Broncos are allowing 124.3 yards per game on the ground. To solve that, they select A'Mauri Washington as a 325-pound anchor in the middle who feasts on stopping the run on early downs. Noted as a top-three interior lineman in this draft, Washington is also disruptive in the passing game as he collapses the pocket with his size and power.
No. 30 Tennessee Titans (via Chicago): Trevor Lauck, OT, Iowa
The Titans use their second first-round pick on Iowa tackle Trevor Lauck. A mauler in the run game and a solid pass protector, Lauck will quickly become Cam Ward's best friend and the blindside protection he can trust going into the future.
No. 31 San Francisco 49ers: Lance Heard, OT, Kentucky
A long-term left tackle remains the biggest need for the 49ers. With All-Pro tackle Trent Williams approaching the end of his career, the 49ers select Kentucky's Lance Heard as an eventual successor. At 6-foot-6, 325 pounds, Heard not only comes with great size and pass-protection fluidity, but he is also exceptional in run blocking. A great late-first-round fit for the 49ers.
No. 32 Buffalo Bills: Ryan Coleman-Williams, WR, Alabama
The Bills added veteran safety Amani Hooker at the NFL trade deadline to help the back end of the defense. Signed through 2028, that makes safety less of a need in the 2027 NFL Draft. With Alabama's Ryan Coleman-Williams still on the board, why not give Josh Allen another downfield threat who is lethal after the catch?
2027 NFL Mock Draft: Quarterback gambles could define this first round
Seven quarterbacks come off the board in this 2027 NFL Mock Draft, with Mestemaker, Carr and Manning leading the way in the top 10. But it's the decisions later in the first round that could create the most debate. The Browns take a chance on Mensah, the Seahawks make a bold and unthinkable move for Dante Moore, and the Steelers and Vikings add Maiava and Chambliss, respectively.
With the Eagles passing on a quarterback twice, the Jets using three first-round picks to reshape their roster and Goosby sliding all the way to No. 25, this draft is about more than finding the next franchise quarterback. The talent is there, but its more about which teams will make the right decisions come next April.
