Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith has been projected as the first overall selection in a 2027 NFL mock draft released by Bleacher Report. The junior is currently entering his season with the Buckeyes following consecutive campaigns with high reception and yardage totals. Analysts suggest that if the Miami Dolphins hold the top draft position as projected, the team may select Smith to bolster an offense that recently parted ways with wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Although Miami signed quarterback Malik Willis to a two-year contract, analysts note the franchise remains a potential candidate to use its top pick on a skill player. Smith has recorded 163 catches, 2,558 yards, and 27 touchdowns throughout his two seasons at Ohio State. A potential early entry into the professional draft remains speculation pending the outcome of his current college season.
