The Oregon Ducks are making waves in the first wave of 2027 NFL mock drafts, and the buzz is impossible to ignore. Just days after the 2026 NFL draft, analysts have already turned their attention to next year's class, and it's clear that Eugene is a hotbed of future pro talent. In fact, a stunning seven different Ducks are drawing first-round attention, signaling a powerhouse season ahead for Oregon football.

We dug into five major mock drafts—from ESPN, The Athletic, CBS Sports, Tankathon, and Todd McShay—to see just how dominant the Ducks are projected to be. The results are eye-opening: a total of seven Oregon players appear as first-round picks across these mocks, with two of them landing in every single one. The highest any Duck is projected to go is No. 2 overall, and one mock draft features a record-setting five Oregon players in the first round. To put that in perspective, Oregon's previous program record was just two first-rounders in a single draft.

Leading the charge is quarterback Dante Moore, who is generating serious Heisman-level hype. He's a top-five lock in every mock, with two drafts slotting him at No. 2 overall to either the Arizona Cardinals or New York Jets. The other three mocks have him at No. 3, with Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning universally predicted as the No. 1 pick. If Moore delivers on expectations, he could be the face of a franchise in 2027.

Another standout is defensive lineman A'Mauri Washington, who also appears in all five mocks. His blend of size, power, and agility has scouts buzzing, and he's consistently projected as a mid-first-round pick. Meanwhile, tight end Jamari Johnson is turning heads with his athleticism and route-running, earning mentions in multiple mocks as a potential first-rounder.

For Oregon fans, this early draft buzz is a thrilling preview of what could be a historic season. With a roster packed with NFL-caliber talent, the Ducks are poised to make serious noise in the College Football Playoff race. And for those of us who love the game, it's a reminder that the future of football is bright—and it's wearing green and yellow.
