Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith opened at No. 1 on the first 2027 NFL Draft big board, with the evaluator calling him one of the best non-quarterback prospects in years.
Two receivers landed above Texas quarterback Arch Manning, who ranked No. 4 behind Smith, Notre Dame corner Leonard Moore and Texas wideout Cam Coleman despite his late-season surge.
The top 10 also featured South Carolina edge Dylan Stewart at No. 5, Texas edge Colin Simmons at No. 6 and Oregon quarterback Dante Moore at No. 7, showing early depth at pass rusher and quarterback.
Texas placed three players in the top 10 — Coleman, Manning and tackle Trevor Goosby at No. 9 — underscoring how much attention its roster will draw entering the college season.
The ranking serves as an early snapshot before the 2026 college season, when production, health and supporting casts are expected to reshape the 1-30 board.
