Summary
Miami landed in the "more likely than not" tier, with Malik Willis' two touchdown passes through five weeks doing little to rule out a high 2027 quarterback pick.
Four teams — Arizona, Cleveland, the Jets and Pittsburgh — were labeled "all but a lock" to chase a quarterback, driven by aging starters, contract uncertainty or stalled long-term plans.
Houston, Indianapolis, New Orleans, the Giants and Tennessee formed the main toss-up group, where injuries, uneven play and looming extensions could still reshape draft priorities.
At the other end, 14 teams were judged effectively out of the market, while six more sat in a slim-chance tier if late-season regression or organizational upheaval changes the calculus.
With roughly one-third of the season gone, the early board points to a crowded race for what is projected to be a deep 2027 quarterback class.
