ESPN: 2027 NFL Draft Quarterback Rankings Shift as Season Progresses
Drew Mestemaker's stock is climbing while early-season struggles could hurt the draft standing of Dante Moore and John Mateer, according to ESPN's college football analysis.

The outlook for top quarterback prospects eligible for the 2027 NFL Draft has shifted quickly, according to a college football report published by ESPN.
The report identifies Drew Mestemaker as a quarterback whose draft trajectory is trending upward. At the same time, it notes that Dante Moore and John Mateer have had tepid starts to their seasons, developments that ESPN says could affect their standing among the class of prospects looking toward the 2027 draft.
ESPN's analysis frames the quarterback evaluations as fluid, with performances early in the college football season already reshaping how the three players are viewed relative to one another heading toward future draft cycles.
The report does not provide further statistical or game-specific detail beyond noting the contrasting trajectories of the three quarterbacks.
