Josh Queipo’s 2025 NFL Draft Top 10 Edge Rushers

As we continue to give you so much in the Pewter report 2025 NFL Draft Whenever possible, I plan to regularly rank my own position group. It focuses primarily on BUCS needs. Edge Rusher, even after adding Haason Reddick, is one of the most discussed position groups in Bucs, so I thought I’d start there.

2025 NFL Draft Edge Rush

Tier 1

Three players emphasize the class, but they are actually a group of 1A and 1B. The top of my board seems to be a lot of other analysts, led by Abdul Carter from Pennsylvania. He posted 23 bags of the Nittany Lions in three seasons, including 12 last year.

In the 1B group, we find it higher than almost everyone else at Donovan Ezeruak at Boston College. In addition to his ability to bend his long arms, the various moves he uses to win, combined with his production, competition and football IQ, he presents a consensus opinion on him, betting on Ozilak, where there were 16.5 out of 30 career sacks last year.

The final player in this group is Marshall’s Mike Green. In 17 bags last year, he has a production that matches Ozirak, but it is against a lower level of competition. In addition to the agility and bends of the elite, his ability to gain high sides with excellent departures and as well as advanced pass rush plans helps compensate for the shorter arms. I think the green as a run defender is lower than Ozilak.

Tier 2

There’s only one player creating this layer for me. This is Shemmer Stewart from Texas A&M. The RAS score was incredible as Stewart tested from the Indianapolis building. And physical features appear on the tape as he can make a good offensive lineman look stupid, just as he looks stupid in his burst, strength, speed, and hand fights.

There are probably no higher upside players in this position in this draft. But with just 4.5 career sacks, including just 4.5 sacks, Stewart had little college production. Especially after seeing Jotryon Show Inka for four years in Tampa Bay.

There are some contexts as the A&M system often placed him in a 4i alignment. Still, he didn’t have many ranstops either. Those red flags have him in a lower class than his pure athletic ability, and are the best person who originally led me.

Tier 3

Ole Miss’ Prince Uman Milen, who has a career sack of 25.5, leads the third tier. I love his bursts and flexibility at his ankles and hips. He posted a career-high 10.5 bags with the Rebels last season.

Jaron Walker in Georgia is Edge 6 on my board. I’m listed as Edge by him, but he might become an off-ball linebacker. In both positions, he is still raw, and is proven last year by a sack of just 6.5 as a part-time edge rush. But he is the smoothest initiator of the group, and his best reps are all on the edge. He can become a considerable chess piece for a team that can develop and utilize his rare traits.

Tier 4

Olafemi Oladejo is a slower position at edge position, playing off-ball linebacker throughout his UCLA career before switching to Edge in 2025. He has great first steps and juices that run through tackles. He needs to learn more positions and develop more advanced pass rush arsenals, but I love the guy who is always dialed up to 10. Oladejo had just 10 starts on the Bruins’ edge rushing and had a pair of sacks in the senior bowl.

James Pearce Jr. is Edge8 on my list. The length and bends come from the Tennessee speed rusher, but he is inconsistent and worries about his functional strength, especially in the run game. You can see the world where he ends up as a pass rusher designated for the high end, but someone’s team is leaving the field with an early down. Pierce had 19.5 bags in three seasons with volunteers, including 7.5 last year.

Tier 5

Another Georgia Pass Rush appears to me as Edge9. Mykel Williams has great speed and strength, but like Shemar Stewart, can he make it all of it in the full package? That’s possible, but I still have doubts. Unlike Stewart, Williams was given the opportunity to hurry from the outside, 5 bags It’s a disappointment from my perspective. And I understand that he played injured for most of last season.

Arkansas’ Landon Jackson has finished my list with the Razorbacks, who had 16 bags in three seasons. His measurableness was a bit debated next to Stewart, but his tests were almost equally impressive. He is a linear athlete and must translate a nifty hip twist at the next level instead of Bend. And because of all his explosiveness, I didn’t think Jackson was in a hurry with a ton of force. It’s as if his body and mind are playing in two different ways. He has had consecutive seasons with a 6.5 bag and may never be a professional double-digit football.
