The 2026 college football season is coming up quickly and the Oregon Ducks are once again set to be a top-tier National Championship contender.

Led by head coach Dan Lanning and star quarterback Dante Moore, the Ducks are loaded with talent on both sides of the football. Following the 2026 season, it is likely that Oregon will end up losing quite a few players to the 2027 NFL Draft.

Keeping that in mind, a new outlook for the 2027 draft has 11 players being drafted from the Ducks.

Taking a Look at the Players Expected to Be Drafted

Obviously, Moore is the headline name. Many expected him to be a top-three pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, but he opted to return to the Ducks for one more season. It seems likely that he'll be at least a top-five pick in the 2027 draft class.

A'Mauri Washington is coming off of a 2025 season with Oregon that saw him rack up 33 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and seven defended passes. He's capable of even bigger production and is an intimidating presence on the line at 6-foot-3 and 330 pounds.

Tight end Jamar Johnson has been emerging as a hot prospect for the 2027 draft. Playing behind Kenyon Sadiq last season, Johnson caught 32 passes for 510 yards and three touchdowns. He'll have a chance to showcase what he's truly capable of this year.

Uiagalelei is one of the top defensive players in the country. In 2025, he totaled 34 tackles, six sacks, two forced fumbles, and three defended passes. He ended up with 38 tackles, 10.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, a defended pass, and an interception in 2024.

As for the rest of the players, they have all earned the right to be on this list.

Lanning has done an excellent job of recruiting NFL level of players since becoming the program's head coach. It will be interesting to see what the 2026 season has in store for the Ducks and then to see how many players actually end up being drafted.
