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 offensive tackle prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft, along with some initial scouting notes courtesy of lead draft analyst Trevor Sikkema.

1. T Will Campbell, LSU
PFF Big Board Rank: 6
Campbell is an offensive lineman's offensive lineman. He approaches the position with excellent respect for what it takes to be great in the trenches: fundamentals, IQ and competitive toughness. His length and flexibility limitations might push him inside in the NFL, but this is a starting-caliber player at all five spots on the line.
2. T Armand Membou, Missouri
PFF Big Board Rank: 9
Membou presented a high athletic ceiling in 2023 before his confidence and control took off in 2024. There are times when he could play with more power, but he brings starting-caliber length and movement ability to the NFL with good production as a zone blocker.
3. T Josh Simmons, Ohio State
PFF Big Board Rank: 18
Simmons brings impressive flexibility, leverage, foot speed, balance and hand work to the NFL with an adequate frame. He lacks a bit of power in the run game and is coming off an ACL tear in 2024, but his movement skills and football intelligence make him worthy of a top-50 pick and a shot to be a starter early on.
4. T Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas
PFF Big Board Rank: 22
Banks is an NFL-caliber athlete at the tackle position whose movement skills and run-blocking abilities give him positional versatility. His lack of arm length could hinder him at offensive tackle, but he projects as an impact starter at either tackle or guard.
5. T Grey Zabel, North Dakota State
PFF Big Board Rank: 27
Zabel is a five-position lineman who brings everything but elite arm length to the position. He is an easy projected starter at center or guard for primarily a zone blocking scheme, but he is well-rounded enough to be run-game versatile.
6. T Josh Conerly Jr., Oregon
PFF Big Board Rank: 30
Conerly has very good movement skills for a player who also brings adequate size and plus length to the tackle position. His game can lack some anticipation and strength, but if he continues to improve in those areas, he holds the skill set to be a reliable NFL starter — one who can be impactful for a zone blocking scheme.
7. T Donovan Jackson, Ohio State
PFF Big Board Rank: 46
Jackson isn't the flashiest player, but his footwork, technique and leadership give him Day 1 starter potential.
8. T Aireontae Ersery, Minnesota
PFF Big Board Rank: 69
Ersery brings alluring size and length to the tackle position for the NFL. He has good hands, an explosive first step forward and quick footwork to be an impactful zone run blocker, but his naturally high-waisted build impacts his leverage and may inhibit him from keeping NFL rushers in front of him.
9. T Ozzy Trapilo, Boston College
PFF Big Board Rank: 82
Trapilo brings an ideal build and a scheme-versatile football IQ to the tackle position. His size and versatility as a left and right tackle will make him a swing tackle at worst, with the potential to be a solid starter for any run scheme.
10. T Marcus Mbow, Purdue
PFF Big Board Rank: 84
Mbow is small and struggles with NFL-level strength in pass protection and when displacing in the run game. But he moves extremely well and should get a shot to start at guard or tackle at some point during his rookie contract.
11. T Jonah Savaiinaea, Arizona
PFF Big Board Rank: 86
Savaiinaea's feet and pass-blocking technique should keep him in the league for a while, regardless of his position. If he can get stronger, he has a chance to stick as a starter at right tackle or inside for a zone-rushing team.
12. T Wyatt Milum, West Virginia
PFF Big Board Rank: 91
Milum is a strong run blocker between the tackles with good power at contact, heavy/reliable hands, and good grip strength. He can get in trouble when truly left on an island in pass protection, which is why a move inside could be best to get the most out of his strength while mitigating flexibility/agility risks.
13. T Cameron Williams, Texas
PFF Big Board Rank: 93
Williams is a true “bet” of a prospect. His penalty-riddled lone year as a starter shows inexperience and inconsistency. But it also showed starting-caliber length and traits. He's not the kind of player you plug and play, but he could be a gem to develop on Day 2.
14. T Charles Grant, William & Mary
PFF Big Board Rank: 95
Grant's athleticism gives him a ton of raw potential. His lower body is a true asset, and he could develop into a solid contributor if he adds some upper-body strength and refines his hand technique.
15. T Anthony Belton, North Carolina State
PFF Big Board Rank: 98
While he is still unrefined, Belton's length and power could make him an ideal fit for a gap-heavy team. It'll require some patience, but he has starting potential.
16. T Jalen Rivers, Miami (FL)
PFF Big Board Rank: 143
Rivers is a sound technician wherever he plays, but his lack of athleticism and corresponding lack of answers for quicker rushers limits his ceiling. He is likely fit to serve as interior depth in an offense with a gap-based run scheme.
17. T Logan Brown, Kansas
PFF Big Board Rank: 150
Brown looks and grades like the kind of offensive tackle worth taking a chance on. He has an ideal athletic build for the position with great height, weight and length, and flashes power on contact and fluid movement skills. However, his fundamentals remain a work in progress — he plays too high, lunges into blocks and can misread run fits. Still, those issues appear coachable, making him a developmental tackle with upside.
18. T Emery Jones, LSU
PFF Big Board Rank: 153
Jones is still a raw player in a number of areas, but that also could be due to him playing out of position at tackle. A move inside to guard could help hide his flaws while simultaneously highlighting his strengths, making him a potential starting-caliber player there.
19. T Chase Lundt, Connecticut
PFF Big Board Rank: 162
Lundt has intriguing length and movement skills to be a Day 3 flier. He must get stronger to be more consistent against NFL-caliber power and speed.
20. T Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, Florida
PFF Big Board Rank: 163
Crenshaw-Dickson is a long, experienced and patient player who played right and left tackle in college. He'll struggle against top-tier speed or power, but his calm approach to the game, length and balance give him a high floor to handle plenty of assignments as a backup NFL tackle, with a likely shot at a starting job in his rookie contract.
21. T Ajani Cornelius, Oregon
PFF Big Board Rank: 175
Cornelius is a big-bodied, powerful blocker with some foot quickness and overall speed limitations in pass protection, but he is a decent developmental player for man/gap scheme run-blocking concepts.
22. T Jalen Travis, Iowa State
PFF Big Board Rank: 180
Travis is a big, long, and explosive offensive tackle whose traits profile best in a zone-blocking scheme. While he has the size, his kick-slide quickness and length aren't quite at NFL starter levels yet, making edge protection a concern. Still, after allowing just a 2.5% pressure rate in 2024, he's an appealing Day 3 draft-and-develop candidate with upside.
23. T Caleb Rogers, Texas Tech
PFF Big Board Rank: 182
Rogers is a highly experienced lineman with 55 career starts and impressive athleticism. He lacks ideal lower-body power for anchoring and drive, but his frame and movement skills give him clear appeal as a developmental swing offensive lineman.
24. T Bryce Cabeldue, Kansas
PFF Big Board Rank: 194
Cabeldue is capable of overwhelming defenders in the run game with his size, but his poor lower-body agility makes him a liability in pass protection. His 65.0 PFF pass-blocking grade on true pass sets indicates he may need to slide inside to guard if he is to carve out a spot on an NFL roster.
25. T Myles Hinton, Michigan
PFF Big Board Rank: 214
Final scouting report coming soon!
26. T John Williams, Cincinnati
PFF Big Board Rank: 229
Williams possesses the quick footwork that makes him an intriguing late-round flier at offensive tackle. However, to earn serious starting consideration in the NFL, he'll need to improve his balance and play with more control.
27. T Jack Nelson, Wisconsin
PFF Big Board Rank: 231
Nelson has good size and length with quick footwork and good technique to create rush lanes as a zone blocker. But he needs more power and balance with fewer penalties to be a consistent member of a starting five in the NFL. He will more likely be a utility backup.
28. T Hollin Pierce, Rutgers
PFF Big Board Rank: 267
Pierce is an interesting player with an enticing frame. He improved in each of his college seasons, though he will likely always battle with his high pad level and lack of bend.
29. T Carson Vinson, Alabama A&M
PFF Big Board Rank: 277
Length (34 1/2-inch arms), experience and athleticism are Vinson's biggest assets, but struggles against limited FBS competition and a lack of polish to his game hurt his stock. Quick feet give him a chance to flourish as a pass protector, but his lack of strength showed up frequently against top-level talent (43.7 PFF grade against Auburn, 51.3 against Vanderbilt).
30. T Xavier Truss, Georgia
PFF Big Board Rank: 290
Truss started three years at Georgia, playing his first season at left guard before moving out to right tackle for the last two. His 71.7 pass-blocking grade in 2024 was his best mark in those three years. Truss likely needs to play guard at the next level due to his slower footwork, but he's a competitive player with plenty of experience.
31. T Trey Wedig, Indiana
PFF Big Board Rank: 314
Wedig floated around the offensive line before finding a home at right tackle in 2024, where he produced his best work (85.7 PFF overall grade). His solid footwork and play strength are assets in pass sets and help him reach landmarks in the run game. He can get into trouble with his punch at times, leading to poor block sustainability.
32. T Esa Pole, Washington State
PFF Big Board Rank: 327
Pole didn't allow a sack in 2024 and let up only three quarterback hits and six hurries on 498 pass-blocking snaps. His 85.8 PFF pass-blocking grade ranks eighth in the draft class.
33. T Dalton Cooper, Oklahoma State
PFF Big Board Rank: 337
Cooper amassed 3,699 career snaps at left tackle over his career at Texas State and Oklahoma State. While he played in only nine games in 2024, he didn't allow a single sack on his 464 pass-blocking snaps. His 85.5 PFF pass-blocking grade in 2024 ranks 10th in the draft class.
34. T Gerad Christian-Lichtenhan, Oregon State
PFF Big Board Rank: 345
Christian-Lichtenhan is an upright catch-blocker with limited lower-body flexibility. While he surrendered just 12 pressures last season, Oregon State's scheme helped mask some of his athletic deficiencies that will make it difficult for him to be a steady player beyond the college game.
35. T Gareth Warren, Lindenwood
PFF Big Board Rank: 351
Warren certainly looks the part at 6-foot-5 and 330 pounds, but his lack of punch and propensity to play upright allow defenders to get into his frame far too easily on bull rushes. He allowed seven sacks and 19 pressures at Lindenwood last year, making it difficult to foresee him translating effectively to the NFL level.
