Following the first week of the 2026 college football season, Darian Mensah of Miami holds the top spot in newly released quarterback rankings for the 2027 NFL Draft. Mensah posted 401 passing yards and five touchdowns in his opening performance, earning recognition for his decision-making and arm strength. Dante Moore of Oregon sits at second after securing a win against Boise State, while Arch Manning of Texas ranks third following a four-touchdown game against Texas State. Trinidad Chambliss of Ole Miss and Julian Sayin of Ohio State round out the top five. These rankings focus on draft-eligible talent for an NFL class expected to be deep at the position.
