WCG’s lead draft analyst shares his current top 50 prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft.
With 11 months left until the 2026 NFL Draft, what better time to share my first public player rankings than right now?
I’m being slightly facetious, since so much will change between now and next April that these rankings are anything but concrete. However, the dead of summer is the perfect time for a draft evaluator to beef up his or her big board so as to get as deep of an understanding of the class as possible. For someone who covers the draft, this is a better way to spend my time than debate the same tired Bears-related discussions over and over.
As of this writing, I’m at 130 prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft. Admittedly, I’m so early in these evaluations to where I wouldn’t feel as though revealing my top 100 would be an accurate representation of what this class looks like. That said, I feel pretty good about putting together a top 50 ranking.
Without further ado, here are the current top 50 prospects in my 2026 NFL Draft big board.
To show another way to look at the rankings, here is the distribution of positions inside my current top 50:
- QB: 6
- RB: 3
- WR: 6
- TE: 2
- OT: 5
- OG: 3
- C: 0
- DT: 3
- EDGE: 8
- LB: 3
- CB: 8
- S: 3
