Here, Dan Fornek brings his unique insight into analyzing the 2025 Rookie Offensive Line Rankings.

The importance of offensive line play has never been more obvious when watching the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense sputter against the excellent Eagles defensive line. 10 different tackles, nine guards, and six centers all made at least one NFL start from the 2024 rookie class. By all accounts, it was a significant youth movement across the league. Now that the season has ended, it is time for us to focus on the incoming 2025 draft class.

On the surface, the 2025 class isn’t nearly as talented as their 2024 counterparts. A good number of the tackles in this class figure to move inside to guard due to subpar measurements. However, this class does feature some talented players who will certainly fortify offensive lines in 2025 and beyond.

Below are my top 10 offensive linemen in the 2025 draft class (plus a few notable honorable mentions). Check them out below.

Top Rated Offensive Linemen for 2025

1. Armand Membou, Tackle/Guard | Missouri

6-4, 332-pounds. 20.9 years old.

Missouri’s Armand Membou was viewed as a guard heading into the offseason. Still, a strong combine in terms of measurables (6-4, 332 pounds with a 33-inch arm length) and athleticism (4.91 40-yard dash, 34-inch vertical, and 9-7 broad jump) establishes him as a tackle prospect in the NFL.

From a film perspective, Membou is more potential than polished. His athleticism and strength consistently show throughout his final season, but there are numerous examples of a raw prospect with his footwork and punch timing (especially in pass protection).

That said, Membou allowed just two sacks (zero in 2024) and 20 pressures over his last two seasons as a starter in the SEC. He only played right tackle at Missouri but has the kind of athleticism and size that would easily translate to the left side of the offensive line.

Armand Membou is far from a pristine prospect, but he has every physical and athletic tool needed to develop into a high-caliber tackle or, at worst, an impact guard. He will also be the first offensive lineman to hear his name called during the 2025 NFL draft.

2. Will Campbell, Guard/Tackle | LSU

6-6, 319 pounds. 21 years old.

Will Campbell was a three-year starter at left tackle for LSU, logging over 2,500 snaps on the blindside throughout his career. He surrendered just four sacks and 32 hurries on 1,594 pass protection snaps.

The LSU product also had a fantastic showing at the combine. He measured in at 6-6 and 319 pounds while running a 4.98 40-yard dash with a 32-inch vertical and 9-5 broad jump. Unfortunately, the most significant measurement didn’t go in his favor. Campbell’s arm length came in at just 32 5/8 inches. 34 tackles have entered the NFL with an arm length below 33 inches since 1999. The only players who have logged significant snaps at tackle are Alaric Jackson (32 ½ inches) and Kaleb McGary (32 7/8 inches).

On film, Campbell is an easy mover who is quick enough to reach second-level defenders and counter any speed rusher. However, some flaws show up due to his shorter arms. Campbell is forced to lunge at times to close space against defensive ends and can be pressed back by long-armed defensive ends who use speed to power rushes. Campbell struggles at times with his balance and movement in the run game due to his upright pad level and close stance.

There is far more good than bad in his film and he is worthy of being billed as the top offensive lineman in this class. However, there is enough doubt in his ability to stick at tackle that caps his upside.

3. Kelvin Banks, Tackle/Guard | Texas

6-5, 315 pounds. 21 years old.

Like Will Campbell, Kelvin Banks was a three-year starter at left tackle for the University of Texas. There were also plenty of questions about if he would be big enough to stick at tackle in the NFL. Thankfully for Banks, he passed all the major tests.

Unfortunately, his athletic testing wasn’t nearly as impressive. Banks ran a 5.16 40-yard dash (1.79 10-yard split) with a 32-inch vertical jump and an 8-8 broad jump. None of those numbers are bad for a tackle prospect, but they aren’t elite athletic numbers that align with the best left tackles in the NFL.

Banks played over 2,778 snaps at left tackle at Texas in three seasons. He allowed just four sacks and 26 hurries on 1,544 pass-blocking snaps. His film also shows a solid run blocker who moves well. However, Banks also lacks physicality in his punch (especially in pass protection) and the frequency with where his feet die in the run game. All of his flaws can be fixed with good coaching.

Still, Banks is a battle-tested left tackle who has enough length and athleticism to play the position at the NFL level. He may never develop into a top-5 player at the position, but he can anchor the left side of the offensive line for many years to come.

4. Josh Simmons, Tackle | Ohio State

6-5, 317 pounds. 22.2 years old.

On film, Josh Simmons has the best film of any tackle prospect in the NFL. He’s a fluid mover who has great technique as a pass protector with a powerful punch to throw off speed rushers. Simmons was stellar during his final season with Ohio State, allowing just one hurry on 158 passing snaps in 2024. His size and length are apparent on film.

Unfortunately, Simmons suffered a torn patellar tendon in Week 6’s game against Oregon. This is a complicated injury that has a poor recovery rate in the NFL (and a very limited sample size) that will certainly impact his rookie season and potentially beyond.

Simmons is ahead of schedule in his recovery (obviously a good sign) and could go through some workouts at his Pro Day to put some of his health worries to rest. If he is healthy, he’s got the highest upside of any player in this class at left tackle. If not, he could fall out of the first round entirely.

5. Tyler Booker, Guard | Alabama

6-5, 321 pounds. 20.9 years old.

Tyler Booker has all the tools to be an instant impact starter at guard at the NFL level. He has fantastic size (6-5, 321 pounds) and length (34-inch arms). His athletic testing was terrible, but that is not a dealbreaker for guards at the NFL level.

On film, Booker shows excellent footwork and functional speed in both the run game and pass protection. He can drop his weight to fight power rushers and get movement in the run game despite his height. The lack of athleticism in testing doesn’t always show in his film, but it does show at times throughout his final season.

Booker allegedly is a fantastic leader and was a tone-setter in the locker room at Alabama and he could easily hear his name get called in the first round. Whichever team drafts him will likely hear grumbling from the fanbase, but they will get a potential 10-year starter on the offensive line.

6. Josh Conerly Jr., Tackle | Oregon

6-5, 311 pounds. 21.3 years old.

Josh Conerly Jr. was a two-year starter at Oregon, logging over 1,800 snaps at left tackle over the last two seasons. He’s one of the few pure left tackles in the class after measuring in at 6-5, 311 pounds with 33 ½-unch arms. Conerly also showed the explosiveness to stick at left tackle with a 34.5-inch vertical jump and 5.05 40-yard dash.

His athletic ability is consistent throughout his film. Conerly Jr. is extremely fluid as a mover and is easily able to reach interior defensive linemen on outside runs. Conerly can drop quickly in his pass sets and times his punches well. He’s also strong enough to stop power rushers when he knows they are coming.

Conerly Jr.’s lack of strength does show up at times when it comes to moving defenders in the run game. His feet frequently die on contact, and he struggles to re-establish leverage.

Conerly Jr. will be especially enticing for teams drafting in the late first round in need of some upside on the blindside.

7. Grey Zabel, Center/Guard/Tackle | North Dakota State

6-6, 312 pounds. 22 years old.

Grey Zabel has two-plus years of starting experience at left tackle at North Dakota State, but will certainly move to an interior line position at the NFL level due to his lack of length. Zabel was able to audition for teams on the interior at the Senior Bowl and earned rave reviews as both a guard and center at the event.

Zabel dominated the FCS football level over the last two and a half seasons, establishing himself as a powerful run blocker with the athleticism to hold up in pass protection (four sacks and 16 pressures surrendered on 1,044 pass protection snaps). Zabel was able to consistently win with leverage despite his height in college and has the athleticism and demeanor to be an impact blocker as an interior offensive lineman at the NFL level.

There will likely be a learning curve for Zabel as he transitions from the FCS level to the NFL level, but teams that are patient and can surround him with solid pros on the interior of the offensive line could be rewarded with the best center in the class.

8. Tate Ratledge, Guard | Georgia

6-7, 308 pounds. 23.8 years old.

Tate Ratledge struggled with injuries in 2024 (498 snaps played) but was once again solid during his stretches of healthy play. During his three years as a starter (2,066 snaps) he allowed just two sacks and 10 pressures.

On film, Ratledge is a wrecking ball with quick feet and a powerful punch. He’s exceptional at getting movement (especially in double teams) thanks to his powerful punch. The right guard also does an exceptional job working against twists on the defensive line.

However, Ratledge skyrocketed up the offensive line rankings after having a jaw-dropping performance at the NFL combine.

Nobody would have been shocked if Ratledge was a run-blocking stud in the NFL, but his 117.0 Athleticism Score puts him as the third-best athlete in the draft class on PlayerProfiler.com.

Ratledge should hear his name called quickly on day 2 of the draft and could be an impact interior offensive lineman in the NFL the second he steps on the field.

9. Aireontae Ersery, Tackle | Minnesota

6-6, 331 pounds.

Aireontae Ersery was a three-year starter at Minnesota, logging over 2,300 snaps at left tackle for the Golden Gophers. He allowed just five sacks and 26 pressures on 1,125 pass-blocking snaps during his collegiate career.

Ersery showed that he has the athleticism and length to warrant a shot at left tackle in the NFL, although it will likely be as a late-first or early-second-round pick. Ersery has an exceptional first step and flashes a good understanding of cutting off angles in pass protection and body positioning in the run game. However, he frequently plays with high pads which causes him to lack movement at times in the run game.

There are plenty of teams with tackle needs late in the first round that should be willing to take a chance on Ersery. And while he isn’t a prototype build or athlete for left tackle at the NFL level, there are enough tools for teams looking to strike gold to upgrade the blindside for their quarterback.

10. Donovan Jackson, Guard/Tackle | Ohio State

6-4, 315 pounds. 22.2 years old.

Donovan Jackson was highly regarded as an interior offensive lineman, but his draft stock soared when he moved out to left tackle to replace the injured Josh Simmons during Ohio State’s National Championship run.

Jackson won’t play tackle at the NFL level (although he could in a pinch), but his move to left tackle for Ohio State showed his strengths as a pure technician as an offensive lineman. On film, Jackson frequently shows the athleticism to attack defenders in space or attack linebackers on run plays while working off a double team. In pass protection, Jackson is light on his feet and delivers a powerful punch to disrupt interior pass rushers.

Jackson struggles with his pad level (which leads to stalemates in the run game) and doesn’t always recognize twists, but he could easily hear his name called on the first round of the NFL draft for teams looking to bolster their interior offensive line. At worst, this will be an early day 2 pick that has starting-level upside as soon as the training camp his rookie year.

Other Names to Know

Jonah Savaiinea, Guard/Tackle | Arizona

6-4, 324 pounds.

Many expected Jonah Savaiinea to be a guard-only prospect before he measured in with adequate length at the combine (6-4, 324 pounds with a 33-inch arm length). Savaiinea likely moves inside, but at least now he has the chance to stick at right tackle.

On the field, Savaiinea has exceptional movement abilities to close space between him and the defender and to counter secondary pass rush moves. He is a light puncher who struggles to maintain a low pad level, which makes his long-term potential at tackle hard to see.

Marcus Mbow, Center/Guard/Tackle | Purdue

6-4, 303 pounds. 21.9 years old.

Purdue’s Marcus Mbow might be one of the most intriguing players in this draft class thanks to his clear athleticism on film. Mbow is exceptionally smooth as a mover on pulls and in pass sets and frequently sets the tone as a down blocker.

However, he is raw on film and needs to add serious strength to his lower body to avoid getting dominated by power rushers going forward. Mbow also has inconsistent punch timing that allowed pass rushers to get the better of him in 2024.

Mbow could benefit from a move inside at the NFL level (specifically at center) thanks to his elite quickness and athleticism. He will, however, require time to bulk up before hitting the NFL field regardless of what his final position is.

Cameron Williams, Tackle | Texas

6-6, 317 pounds. 21 years old.

Cameron Williams is the prototypical right tackle with excellent footwork and a mean streak in the run game. However, he is more of a project than a finished product heading into the NFL. Williams struggles to generate much pop with his punch and also struggles to get movement in the run game due to his upright pad level.

He has all of the tools required to play tackle at the NFL level but needs some serious technical work before he can be used as a starter.

Jared Wilson, Center | Georgia

6-3, 310 pounds. 21 years old.

Georgia’s Jared Wilson is the top center prospect (depending on how you view Grey Zabel in a weak center class). He also verified his status as a freak athlete at the combine, blowing his testing out of the water with a 4.84 40-yard dash, 32-inch vertical, and 9-4 broad jump at 310 pounds.

Wilson’s athleticism flashes on film blocking back to replace pulling linemen and when he gets to the second level to block linebackers. However, he sometimes overextends himself on these blocks (due to inconsistent technique) and can be exploited in space. He also needs to add strength when facing power rushers.
