Offensive tackle big board and rankings for the 2025 NFL Draft

The offensive tackles in the NFL Draft class of 2025 are a difficult position group to order. There aren't any surefire Pro Bowlers, but several tackle prospects appear capable of becoming long-term fixtures for teams that can work with a couple of questions — be it arm length, anchor strength, or schematic specialty.

Ranking them overall for the entire NFL is an awkward task. The No. 3 tackle for one team might be the No. 8 for another based on their coaching staff, scheme or personality fit. This class is that clustered.

Will Campbell, LSU

Folks knock Campbell's shorter-than-ideal arms (32 inches on a 6-6 frame), but his quick feet and outstanding reactions with his hands make him very difficult to beat. Great technique, impressive athleticism, good strength, higher aggression level than often credited. Campbell is a ready-made starter at tackle.

Armand Membou, Missouri

Three-year starter at right tackle with outstanding feet and hands but not a lot of length at 6-foot-4, though his 34-inch arm length helps compensate. As technically proficient as any blocker in this class, Membou is still learning how to unleash his power. If that clicks, he's a potential All-Pro.

Donovan Jackson, Ohio State*

Jackson gets an asterisk because he projects to play guard, which is where he spent most of his Ohio State career. His performance down the stretch at tackle was impressive enough for NFL teams to consider him a tackle prospect as well.

As a tackle, his footwork needs speeding up and more consistency. His punch and smart use of his powerful shoulders make him a high-end OT prospect for a gap/duo scheme more than a line that utilizes outside zone.

Josh Simmons, Ohio State

Simmons could have been No. 1 with a clean bill of health, but a torn patellar tendon in October clouds his outlook. He thrives by being quicker than the pass rusher and with exceptional balance and mirror-blocking skills. Simmons' play reminds me of Chargers standout RaShawn Slater.

Aireontae Ersery, Minnesota

Long and powerful blindside blocker who plays with an attitude (that's a good thing). Ersery doesn't have elite movement skills, but remains very difficult to beat around either shoulder. Should be a good starter on either side of the formation but has a lower floor than some ranked below him here.

Kelvin Banks, Texas

Banks won the Lombardi and Outland Trophies after a great career at left tackle for the Longhorns, but there are questions about his arm length, power and balance. Some teams might see Banks as a guard, though his hands and feet are suited to be a potential long-term starter at left tackle.

Josh Conerly, Oregon

Conerly flashes periods of dominance as a pass protector, notably against higher-level competition. The quickness and aggression are great, but Conerly needs more base strength and consistency to his game. High upside but also a lower floor than some teams will want in the 30-50 overall range, which is where Conerly typically projects to be drafted.

Ozzy Trapilo, Boston College

Four-year player with starting experience at both left and right tackle. Tall but short-armed and not always blessed with great power, Trapilo is a high-floor, lower-ceiling prospect best suited for a zone-heavy scheme.

Charles Grant, William & Mary

FCS standout plays with poise and impressive flexibility for a long-limbed player. Showed during Senior Bowl week he has the quickness and technical proficiency to handle the jump up in competition, but will need to work on the strength and anchor parts of his game before Grant is ready to start in the NFL.

Logan Brown, Kansas

Fairly green prospect for being in college for six years, but the physical traits are very impressive. Quick, powerful and mobile, Brown has upside but must clean up the technical inconsistencies that pockmark his game at both Wisconsin and Kansas.

Ajani Cornelius, Oregon

Cornelius started at right tackle for two years at Oregon after transferring up from Rhode Island. His length and ability to set a quick edge are his best qualities. Has the potential to be a very good No. 6 OL who can fill in at both tackle and guard.

Branson Taylor, Pittsburgh

Very physical and quick-footed but technically raw with both his hands and feet, Taylor is coming off a knee injury that makes taking him as a developmental-type of tackle a riskier proposition. The upside is definitely there for a patient team with a good OL coach.

Exclusions

There are a few collegiate tackles who project to play only inside in the NFL and will be ranked with the interior OL class. Among them are Grey Zabel, North Dakota State; Wyatt Milum, West Virginia; Jonah Savaiinaea, Arizona; Marcus Mbow, Purdue; Jonah Monheim, USC; Xavier Truss, Georgia.
