Jordan Reid Oct 1, 2026, 06:25 AM ET Close Jordan Reid is an NFL draft analyst for ESPN, providing in-depth scouting on the nation's top pro prospects. With the calendar turning to October, it's time to start stacking the top prospects in the 2027 NFL draft class, which begins on April 29 in Washington, D.C. These rankings are a compilation of my scouting and conversations with scouts and evaluators around the NFL.
We're starting with 50 players, with scouting reports on the top 25, but this list will expand. These rankings will evolve. But this is how I currently see things in the 2027 class, starting with arguably the best wide receiver prospect of the past 15-20 years.
