2027 NFL Draft Edge Rusher Rankings
All 51 ranked edge rushers in the 2027 class, with the range each is currently projected into.
Where the group stands
The 2027 draft has not been held, so nothing here is a result. What this page shows is where 51 edge rushers currently sit on the consensus board, and the range of outcomes the public boards support for each.
Colin Simmons of Texas leads the group at No. 4 overall, currently projected somewhere between 1 and 11.
3 edge rushers are currently projected inside the first round. Treat all of it as a starting map rather than a finished ranking: early boards move more than they look like they will, and the projected order they sit against does not yet include compensatory picks.
