Who Are the Top Running Back Prospects in the 2027 NFL Draft? The early 2027 NFL Draft RB rankings are led by Missouri’s Ahmad Hardy and Florida’s Jadan Baugh, giving the class two lead-back profiles with different paths to the top of the board. Hardy has one of the cleanest early evaluations in the group because of his production, contact balance, and yards-after-contact profile, while Baugh brings the size, physicality, receiving value, and three-down foundation to keep climbing in 2026. Behind them, Ole Miss’ Kewan Lacy, Georgia’s Nate Frazier, and Michigan’s Jordan Marshall give the class a strong mix of burst, power, efficiency, and feature-back upside entering the 2026 season. 2027 NFL Draft Running Back Class Overview The 2027 NFL Draft running back class enters summer scouting with more depth than the early list suggests. Missouri’s Ahmad Hardy sits at the top of the Football Scout 365 grading, with Ole Miss’ Kewan Lacy, Florida’s Jadan Baugh, Georgia’s Nate Frazier, and Michigan’s Jordan Marshall forming the next wave of backs with legitimate NFL traits. This early RB rankings article breaks down the top backs on the summer board through film-based grades, production context, and 2026 projection notes. I have graded eight running backs during the early summer scouting window, which feels like the right cutoff point for now, but this class has the upside to grow into a 12 to 15-player group of solid NFL Draft prospects by the time the 2027 cycle fully takes shape. 2027 NFL Draft Hub: Big Board, Rankings, and Summer Scouting Updates For the full Football Scout 365 2027 NFL Draft database, visit the 2027 NFL Draft Hub. The hub includes the updated 2027 Top 50 Big Board, position-by-position summer scouting rankings, player scouting reports, grade tiers, and draft projection updates as the 2026 college football season approaches. More Early 2027 NFL Draft Positional Rankings QB | RB | WR | TE | OL | IDL | EDGE | LB | CB | SAF 2027 NFL Draft RB Rankings: Summer Scouting 1). Ahmad Hardy | RB | Missouri Summer Grade Tier: High-End Starter Potential Analysis: Hardy is a compact, physical runner with RB1 traits built around vision, contact balance, tackle-breaking volume, and yards-after-contact creation. His 2025 profile was elite from a production standpoint: 1,649 rushing yards, 16 touchdowns, 6.4 YPC, 1,186 yards after contact, and 97 missed tackles forced. Hardy can push his 2027 NFL Draft stock higher if he returns fully from the May 2026 gunshot wound to his upper leg, reestablishes his pre-injury explosiveness and contact balance, and expands his receiving value. 2). Jadan Baugh | RB | Florida Summer Grade Tier: High End Starter Potential Analysis: Baugh brings a feature-back frame with three-down traits built around size, contact balance, patient vision, receiving value, and pass-protection utility. Baugh can elevate in 2026 if he proves his long speed and explosive-play consistency can match the rest of the lead-back profile. 3). Jordan Marshall | RB | Michigan Summer Grade Tier: High End Starter Potential Analysis: Marshall is a compact, downhill runner with a reliable early-down profile built around tempo, decisive cuts, contact balance, and efficient run pacing. Marshall can push higher in 2026 if he proves to be a true workhorse and expands his passing-down value. 4). Justice Haynes | RB | Georgia Tech Summer Grade Tier: High End Starter Potential Analysis: Haynes is a compact, urgent runner with one-cut burst, contact balance, and enough acceleration to create explosive gains when the blocking structure is clean. Haynes can climb in 2026 if he validates durability, pass protection, and receiving usage in a larger role. 5). Mark Fletcher | RB | Miami Summer Grade Tier: Mid-Level Starter Potential Analysis: Fletcher is a big-frame downhill runner with a defined power-back profile built around contact balance, short-yardage value, pass-protection utility, and steady early-down execution. The limitation is that Fletcher still has to show more explosive gains, lateral flexibility, and dynamic receiving value. He can push toward the next tier in 2026 if he creates more chunk plays and expands his third-down utility. 6). Nate Frazier | RB | Georgia Summer Grade Tier: Mid-Level Starter Potential Analysis: Frazier is one of the more explosive backs in the class, with a profile built around acceleration, long speed, space creation, and chunk-play ability. The athletic upside is clear, but the three-down projection still depends on improved ball security, pass protection, and consistency within the structure of the run game. He can climb in 2026 if the explosive traits become more reliable across a full RB1 workload. 7). Cam Cook | RB | West Virginia Summer Grade Tier: Mid-Level Starter Potential Analysis: Cook is a tough downhill runner who plays much harder than his 5’11”, 200-pound frame might suggest. In 2025 at Jacksonville State, he led the FBS with 1,659 rushing yards on 295 carries, scored 16 rushing touchdowns, and added 30 receptions for 286 yards, giving him one of the strongest production profiles in this early RB group. He wins between the tackles with pad level, burst, quick one-cut decisions, and high-end contact balance. 8). Kewan Lacy | RB | Ole Miss Summer Grade Tier: Mid-Level Starter Potential Analysis: Lacy is a tall, linear runner with a strong production profile built around decisive tempo, one-cut acceleration, tackle-breaking ability, and explosive gains when the crease is defined. He has enough functional receiving value to project beyond a pure early-down role, but the passing-game profile still needs confirmation. Lacy can elevate in 2026 if his pass protection, contact balance, and receiving usage hold up against stronger box defenders.

Who Are the Top Wide Receiver Prospects in the 2027 NFL Draft? The top wide receiver prospects in the 2027 NFL Draft entering summer scouting are led by Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith, with former Auburn, now Texas WR Cam Coleman, Alabama’s Ryan Coleman-Williams, and Indiana’s Charlie Becker also grading inside the early top tier. This ranking is organized by Football Scout 365 grade tiers and focuses on each receiver’s 2025 tape, production profile, WR archetype, translatable traits, and what must improve during the 2026 season. The early 2027 NFL Draft WR rankings are led by Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith, who enters summer scouting as the rare top-of-board talent in the group. Behind him, the class has the size and depth to become one of the strongest WR groups in recent cycles, with bigger-bodied perimeter targets like former Auburn, now Texas WR Cam Coleman and Indiana’s Charlie Becker giving the top tier real NFL starter upside. Alabama’s Ryan Coleman-Williams adds a different profile as an explosive vertical separator who could push closer to Smith’s range if he cleans up the hands, play strength, and consistency questions during the 2026 season. For Football Scout 365, this ranking is not just about raw grade. Wide receiver value depends on WR archetype, role clarity, ball skills, route development, play strength, alignment usage, and whether each player can win in a way that translates to NFL coverage. This summer checkpoint is built to separate true WR1 candidates, boundary X targets, vertical Z threats, slot/Z separators, and possession receivers before the 2026 tape gives us the next major grading update. 2027 NFL Draft Hub: Big Board, Rankings, and Summer Scouting Updates For the full Football Scout 365 2027 NFL Draft database, visit the 2027 NFL Draft Hub.

Strong traits and technical foundation create early impact potential, with development needed to reach the next level. 5). Mario Craver | Texas A&M | 5’9”, 165 lbs Archetype: Undersized Separator Scouting Report: Mario Craver is a high-end slot/Z weapon with rare speed, route suddenness, vertical separation, and explosive YAC value. He fits best in a spread, RPO, or motion-heavy system that creates space through crossers, screens, option routes, and manufactured touches. His 2026 checkpoint is play strength: handling NFL contact, improving blocking, and avoiding size-based limitations against physical coverage. 6). KJ Duff | Rutgers | 6’6”, 225 lbs Archetype: Big-Bodied Boundary WR Scouting Report: KJ Duff is a massive possession X WR with size, catch radius, ball tracking, contested-catch production, and red-zone value. He wins best along the boundary, where he can box out smaller corners and create quarterback-friendly targets without needing elite separation. His 2026 checkpoint is separation: cleaner releases, more route suddenness, better YAC value, and stronger blocking physicality. 7). Nick Marsh | Indiana | 6’3”, 203 lbs Archetype: Vertical X Receiver Scouting Report: Nick Marsh transferred from Michigan State to Indiana this offseason. He is a vertical X receiver with size, speed, catch radius, and physical YAC ability.

Wyatt Young | Oklahoma State | 6’0”, 195 lbs Archetype: High-End Slot/Possession WR Scouting Report: Wyatt Young transferred from North Texas to Oklahoma State this offseason alongside quarterback Drew Mestemaker. He is a high-volume receiver with reliable hands, concentration, zone awareness, and physical YAC ability. He fits best in a spread, tempo, RPO, or timing-based passing game that lets him work option routes, quick game, and intermediate spacing. His 2026 checkpoint is Power 4 translation: sharper route detail, better fluidity out of breaks, and stronger answers versus press coverage. 10). Omarion Miller | Arizona State | 6’2”, 210 lbs Archetype: Long-Framed Perimeter Receiver Scouting Report: Omarion Miller transferred from Colorado to Arizona State this offseason. He is a big-bodied outside receiver with size, ball-tracking ability, contested-catch value, and YAC strength. He fits best in a pro-style or spread offense that uses boundary isolation routes, vertical shots, red-zone targets, and play-action concepts. His 2026 checkpoint is separation, including sharper route detail, cleaner releases, and more consistent top-end burst to push into a stronger starter pathway.

His raw strength, functional athleticism, and aggressive mentality make him a great fit for gap/power running schemes, but he has enough athletic ability to contribute in inside zone concepts as well. His pass protection technique is solid, but he can struggle against quicker interior rushers due to occasional balance issues and forward lean. His high floor, SEC pedigree, and tone-setting physicality make him a Day 2 starter candidate for teams needing interior power.
