Despite the buzz surrounding the 2026 NFL Draft, Jeremiah Smith, Arch Manning, among others, will create a legendary draft class in the 2027 NFL Draft class.

Last year could be argued for one of the most uneventful seasons for college football at least player to player. With some of the worst Heisman candidates statistically it's fair to say no one player stuck out this season. This leaves NFL teams with difficult decisions in this upcoming 2026 draft.

Teams like the Las Vegas Raiders that desperately need a QB are tempted to pick one up this draft but if they're smart they would trade for a pick in next year's draft.

Players like Arch Manning, Jermiah Smith, Cam Coleman, Dante Moore, Colin Simons, and Byram Brown will all most likely be available in the 2027 draft.

We are about to live through potentially the best draft class in recent history and it might be worth waiting out this year to have more picks next year.
