- Summer edge rusher rankings for the 2027 NFL Draft
We have reached another week into the Summer Scouting process, and that means we have wrapped up watching the top edge rushers in the class heading into the Fall.
In total, I watched 13 edge rushers and will be sharing some notes on the top 10. I will share all the names at the end, but when we discuss the top options of this edge rushers class, there are some top-end pieces for teams to target. The Summer is all about being positive with players, with some notes to keep in mind when we watch them in the Fall.
