It’s never too early to look ahead to the next group of top prospects in the college ranks, and the 2027 NFL Draft class should be loaded with high-level talent across the board.

This class is headlined by a generational wide receiver prospect in Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith, an elite shutdown corner in Notre Dame’s Leonard Moore, a strong crop of edge rushers headlined by Texas’ Colin Simmons, and a deep of starting caliber quarterbacks with tons of potential first-round talents.

As we look back on the first month of the college football season, here’s an updated look at how I stack the top 100 prospects in the 2027 NFL Draft class:
