Since just Eight Tails Chakra was all it took for Nagato to start moving again, and then easily take down two jinchurikis then yes, Nagato is the second strongest Edo there was, considering he can abosrb other people and get even stronger, if Itachi wasn't there, then Nagato would probably have caught Narut and Killer B in both rounds.

And since Madara is basically himself, plus some percentage of Hashirama, and a full mastered Nagato(In the sense of him being the original user of the Rinnegen), Madara took the firt place.
