Top-25 Big Board: Who sits atop the 2027 NFL Draft class through summer scouting?

From Jeremiah Smith, Arch Manning, and Dylan Stewart, to more, here are my top-25 players in the 2027 NFL Draft class

We are now two and a half months removed from the 2026 NFL Draft, meaning 2027 NFL Draft summer scouting boards are beginning to be filled out.

Building out the board is not as easy as it sounds logistically, however, as I am just now to a point where I feel like I have a firm top-25. That is because we have been going position-by-position through summer scouting on the Daft on Draft Podcast, and not by consensus order. That means I am trying to fill in the consensus order breaks in time between positions.

We will get to a firm 50, 100, and 150 by the start of the season, but we are taking this process one step at a time right now. My board is currently right around 85 players, with a handful of positions left to cover on the podcast throughout summer scouting.

So, here is my 2027 NFL Draft top-25 big board as I continue to build it out to 50 and beyond by the start of the 2026 season.
