Gilbert Manzano projects Dante Moore as a top NFL draft pick
Summary

Oregon quarterback Dante Moore enters the 2026 college football season as a projected early pick for the 2027 NFL Draft. Despite expectations that he would enter the 2026 NFL draft, Moore chose to return to Oregon for further development after his first year as a full-time starter. During his most recent campaign, he completed 71.8 percent of his passes for 3,565 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. A new 2027 mock draft from Gilbert Manzano now places Moore at No. 2 overall to the Miami Dolphins. This projection arrives as the Dolphins transition into a three-year contract with current starter Malik Willis. Moore is expected to be a primary contender for the Heisman Trophy this season while anchoring a national championship-contending team for the Ducks.
