The 2025 NFL Draft class is starting to take shape, and that means we’re getting a clearer picture of some of the top prospects and the position groups with the most depth.
The running back, tight end and offensive tackle positions seem to be the deepest and strongest on the offensive side of the ball. On defense, the edge defender group is as deep as we’ve seen in several years, dominating the projected top 50. There are also more impact defensive backs this year than a year ago, with plenty of options on all three days of the draft, specifically on Days 2 and 3.
Here are PFF's top interior offensive linemen in the 2025 NFL Draft, along with some initial scouting notes courtesy of lead draft analyst Trevor Sikkema.

1. G Tyler Booker, Alabama
PFF Big Board Rank: 48
Booker has some foot speed and balance issues that keep him from being a blue-chip prospect, but there is still a lot to like as a powerful, well-built, competitive and high football IQ guard prospect for a man/gap heavy run scheme.
2. G Tate Ratledge, Georgia
PFF Big Board Rank: 68
Ratledge isn't the most dynamic athlete, but his solid pass-blocking technique and downhill power in the run game give him a chance to be a starter in the NFL.
3. C Jared Wilson, Georgia
PFF Big Board Rank: 88
Wilson may be just a one-year starter, but he has the movement skills to be a starting center in the NFL if he can continue to improve his IQ and anticipation with more snaps.
4. G Miles Frazier, LSU
PFF Big Board Rank: 128
Frazier's athletic ability and versatility give him a solid chance to be a swingman in the NFL (88.0 blocking grade in 2024). His lack of length makes him a better fit at guard, but he'll need to get stronger to have a chance at a starting role.
5. G Dylan Fairchild, Georgia
PFF Big Board Rank: 140
Fairchild is likely to at least serve as interior depth with his consistent pass protection skills. Whether or not he can improve his functional strength will determine if he can develop into a starter.
6. C Seth McLaughlin, Ohio State
PFF Big Board Rank: 147
McLaughlin's experience and toughness could be an asset to an offensive line room, but his status in 2025 will be in question due to his injury.
7. G Willie Lampkin, North Carolina
PFF Big Board Rank: 149
Lampkin's size is certainly concerning and could relegate him back to center, where he played just one game over the past two seasons. His technique and determination should give him a chance to prove his worth in the NFL with five years of outstanding college tape under his belt.
8. G Luke Kandra, Cincinnati
PFF Big Board Rank: 171
Kandra's athleticism and measured approach to the game give him the floor of a solid zone scheme backup and an average starter's ceiling. The end result will depend on his ability to play with better pad level and flexibility.
9. G Connor Colby, Iowa
PFF Big Board Rank: 198
Colby projects as potentially valuable depth in a Shanahan-style outside zone scheme. His lack of a plan and tendency to lunge in pass protection are currently major barriers to his earning a starting role.
10. G Tyler Cooper, Minnesota
PFF Big Board Rank: 202
Cooper has the potential to be at least a backup for a team with an outside zone-based running game. His strength development will be crucial to any further success, considering his lack of length and average athleticism.
11. C Jake Majors, Texas
PFF Big Board Rank: 209
With over 3,700 career snaps under his belt, Majors is as experienced as any player in this draft. He's also earned an 80.0-plus pass-blocking grade in three consecutive seasons and allowed just one sack in four years as a starter. He may not add much in the run game, but sound centers with his level of big game experience usually get a chance to claim a backup job.
12. C Jonah Monheim, USC
PFF Big Board Rank: 217
Monheim has the raw athleticism to succeed as a zone-scheme center if he can get stronger. His lack of length is the biggest deterrent to his success and will likely prevent him from playing a swing role at other positions.
13. C Drew Kendall, Boston College
PFF Big Board Rank: 222
Kendall, the son of 1996 first-round pick Pete Kendall, is a mover at the center position, with quick feet that show up off the snap and when running down defenders in the screen game. His hands are solid, and his understanding of angles and leverage is evident in his 90th-percentile negatively graded rate on run blocks. His struggles are in anchoring due to his tendency to reach.
14. G Jackson Slater, Sacramento State
PFF Big Board Rank: 234
Slater has a ton of experience, intriguing athleticism and a good build for the NFL. He lacks the natural strength and density to be a starting NFL lineman, but he can lean into his unique quickness as a backup and potential starting center for a zone-blocking scheme (67.7 zone-blocking grade in 2024).
15. G Timothy McKay, North Carolina State
PFF Big Board Rank: 278
McKay is one of the more experienced interior offensive linemen in this class, having started for three years at right tackle and right guard for the Wolfpack. He had his best year yet this past season, earning a 70.5 PFF grade. McKay has good size and athleticism on the interior, though it hasn't quite translated to dominant play after six years in college.
16. G Joshua Gray, Oregon State
PFF Big Board Rank: 281
Gray is an incredibly experienced lineman, starting the last five years for the Beavers. Four of those seasons were spent at left tackle before he kicked inside to left guard in 2024. That move was helpful for his NFL projection because he has poor length, even for a guard. Gray has elite movement ability, which should translate well to an outside-zone-heavy scheme (16.5% run-blocking positively graded play rate in 2024; 77th percentile).
17. C Eli Cox, Kentucky
PFF Big Board Rank: 282
Final scouting report coming soon!
18. G Clay Webb, Jacksonville State
PFF Big Board Rank: 285
Webb is a grinder who has the athleticism and attitude to give himself a chance in the run game. His short arms and mediocre strength could cap his ceiling in pass protection.
19. G Garrett Dellinger, LSU
PFF Big Board Rank: 287
Dellinger has the experience and play strength to earn a spot on an NFL roster, with three straight seasons of 80.0-plus pass-blocking grades to his name. He'll need to overcome average athleticism and limited length to develop into more than a depth piece at the next level.
20. G Marcus Wehr, Montana State
PFF Big Board Rank: 302
An FCS standout who wins with strength. Wehr maintains an excellent grading profile, allowing just nine pressures (zero sacks) across over 700 pass sets. He can win in a zone scheme, evidenced by his 92.7 PFF grade running the concept. Issues with length will limit his ceiling, and his lack of FBS competition will leave questions regarding his floor at the next level.
21. C Cooper Mays, Tennessee
PFF Big Board Rank: 330
Mays started 22 games at center over the past two seasons for the Volunteers and surrendered only one sack in that span.
22. G Luke Newman, Michigan State
PFF Big Board Rank: 340
Newman played 2,217 snaps at left tackle for Holy Cross before featuring at left guard for Michigan State in 2024. He didn't allow a sack or quarterback hit on his 417 pass-blocking snaps in 2024.
23. G Nash Jones, Texas State
PFF Big Board Rank: 342
Jones began his career at Incarnate Word before finishing it at Texas State. He played left tackle, right tackle and left guard during his career. In 2024, he didn't allow a sack on his 458 pass-blocking snaps at left guard and also earned a 71.1 PFF run-blocking grade.
24. G Jack Conley, Boston College
PFF Big Board Rank: 349
At 6-foot-6 and 327 pounds, Conley struggles to play with consistent leverage, which allows defenders to get into his frame and knock him off the ball. Boston College's gap-based run scheme should have been a better fit for his skill level, but his 58.6 PFF run-blocking grade suggests he'll need to improve his lower-body flexibility considerably for the next level.
25. G Joe Huber, Wisconsin
PFF Big Board Rank: 356
Huber started at both guard positions at Wisconsin and sprinkled in 15 snaps at center in 2024. He is short-armed (32 1/4 inches) and sometimes stops his feet on contact, causing him to fall off blocks early, but his versatility will likely help him get drafted late on Day 3.
26. C Gus Hartwig, Purdue
PFF Big Board Rank: 358
Hartwig started at center all four years at Purdue. In his last three seasons, he combined to surrender just three sacks. He struggles to hold the point of attack when defenders get into his frame and appears to lack the ability to anchor needed to warrant more than a late-round selection.
