2027 NFL Draft Safety Rankings
All 41 ranked safeties 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 41 safeties currently sit on the consensus board, and the range of outcomes the public boards support for each.
Tae Johnson of Notre Dame leads the group at No. 9 overall, currently projected somewhere between 5 and 117.
2 safetys 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.
