2027 Rookie Picks Could Save You in Superflex

This could be the year that your QB fates change in superflex if you have a hole at the position. 

Many touted 2026 as a potentially generational QB class … but it turned into a dud. Arch Manning and Dante Moore went back to school while Cade Klubnik and Garrett Nussmeier faltered.

Now, 2027 may finally present a strong group.

Manning and Moore are likely to declare this time. Plus, other young QBs offer the potential to be first-round picks … and fantasy difference makers.

The QBs haven't quite performed up to expectations early in the season, but it still should end up a strong class with four or more QBs selected in the first round.

The class also looks loaded with RBs and WRs who could make instant NFL impacts. We might be heading toward one of the best rookie drafts of the past decade. 

Just remember: Things change quickly in college football. Injuries, transfers, and breakout years all shift the dynasty landscape.

We’ll keep updating these 2027 dynasty rookie rankings as players rise and fall. But here’s how things look right now.

Who Will be the Top QB? 

Manning and Moore enter the season as the top two QBs in the class. Had either declared in 2026, he likely would have gone No. 2 behind Fernando Mendoza. Now they are competing with others to go No. 1.

Moore delivered a steady 2025, completing 71.8% of his passes while showing accuracy to every level.

He had some inconsistent performances early in the season before a head injury knocked him out, potentially for the season. He still have the physical tools

Manning struggled early in 2025 but became one of the country’s best QBs in the second half. He threw 13 TDs vs. 2 INTs over his final six games as his footwork and pocket awareness improved.

Manning also brings more rushing upside to the NFL, with 399 rushing yards vs. Moore’s 156 -- though sack yardage is subtracted from those rushing totals. He fares MUCH better than uncles Peyton and Eli in that area, and that rushing edge could tip fantasy value his way even if Moore ends up going higher.

New Top Contenders Enter The Conversation

Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss obliterated LSU this season, putting himself in the QB1 conversation. He threw for 363 yards and 2 TDs while rushing for another. Chambliss' impressive arm strength and decision making pushed him to gain national recognition.

The drawback for Chambliss? He stands just below 6'0 tall (as verified in the spring by BLESTO), and around 200 pounds. Plus, he will be 25-years old before his first NFL snap. 

NFL teams will have to decide how that affects Chambliss' stock.

Miami QB Darian Mensah has also put himself in the conversation with 1,211 yards passing, 14 TDs, and no INTs through four games. 

Julian Sayin: Better in College Than NFL?

Sayin had a strong freshman season in 2025, entering the Big Ten Championship as the Heisman favorite after posting a record 78.9% completion rate in the regular season, beating Bo Nix’s 2023 mark.

That gaudy completion percentage doesn’t erase the holes in Sayin’s NFL profile, though.

Sayin is listed at 6’1 (likely closer to 6’0), 208 pounds, and his thin build shows up in an arm with merely average strength and zip. He also struggled to work through his reads against tougher competition, notably Indiana and Miami.

His numbers certainly benefited by throwing to Carnell Tate (who went fourth overall in 2026) and Jeremiah Smith (likely a Top-5 lock in 2027).

Sayin could be a Bo Nix-type passer, which certainly has worked for fantasy, but Sayin lacks the rushing ability Nix provides. Sayin ended the season with -44 rushing yards, whereas Nix’s lowest career rushing total was 168.

Despite those limitations, Sayin could still be a first-round pick with another season of elite accuracy and a playoff run for Ohio State. If he declares, though, the fantasy debate will center on how much upside he has without the rushing.

Sayin looks more like a superflex QB2 swing than a cornerstone rookie pick, barring a significant change to his running.

Sellers, Carr, and Sorsby: Three Different Bets

Several other QBs could play their way to the top of the 2027 Draft.

South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers has never quite lived up to expectations, but the upside is tremendous. At 6’3, 240 pounds with a projected 40 time in the mid-4.5 range, he brings Anthony Richardson-like traits with three years of starting experience.

Sellers’ size, rushing upside, and rocket arm give him top-5 fantasy upside if he develops into an NFL starter.

Notre Dame’s CJ Carr appears most pro-ready of this group. He already operates a pro-style system centered on play action, and his quick release and sharp footwork should translate to the NFL. Notre Dame’s easy 2026 schedule could help Carr’s numbers this season, too.

You probably know Brendan Sorsby’s story by now. He was ruled ineligible after evidence surfaced that he gambled on his own team while redshirting at Indiana. The NFL also declined to hold a supplemental draft, so Sorsby will spend a year away from football before becoming eligible in 2027.

Sorsby’s highlights are among the best in the class, but his inconsistency makes him tough to evaluate. He probably lands on Day 2 or early Day 3, though the off-field issues and year away from football could push him further down the board.

Jayden Maiava, Drew Mestemaker, and even Moore's back-up Dylan Raiola could also play their way into first-round consideration.
