2023 NFL draft: Consensus big board top 30 EDGE prospect rankings

The Seahawks struck gold when they signed Uchenna Nwosu last year in free agency. Nwosu became the team’s most consistent defensive player during the 2022 season, especially for an often overmatched defensive front seven. This offseason Pete Carroll and John Schneider will have to find him some help, either with another successful free agent investment or finding one in the 2023 NFL draft. The latter is more likely to be the case, since edge is the deepest and strongest overall position in this class outside of cornerback.

Here are the top 30 edge prospects in this class, according to the consensus big board.
