ESPN draft analyst Jordan Reid has released his first set of rankings for the 2027 NFL draft class, a list of 50 prospects led by wide receiver Jeremiah Smith at No. 1, according to the outlet.
Reid's debut board includes six quarterbacks among the 50 ranked players, reflecting what ESPN describes as a notable group of passers entering the draft conversation this cycle.
Rankings released this early in a season are typically treated as a preliminary snapshot, subject to change as prospects' college seasons progress and as evaluators gather more information ahead of the following spring's draft.
ESPN did not detail the remaining 49 names on Reid's list or further analysis of individual prospects in the material reviewed.
