1. Paris Johnson Jr., Ohio State

BIG BOARD RANK: 13

You can expect some growing pains early on due to Johnson's limited experience, but that's the nature of the tackle position. If he's dedicated to his craft, he'll be a stud.

2. Peter Skoronski, Northwestern

BIG BOARD RANK: 15

Skoronski has the highest floor of any offensive lineman in the draft class. It may just come at guard, though.

3. Broderick Jones, Georgia

BIG BOARD RANK: 18

Another year of seasoning could have made Jones a top-five pick. He still may end up close to that range with his dominant physical skill set.

4. Anton Harrison, Oklahoma

BIG BOARD RANK: 30

Harrison could have really upped his draft stock with another year in a college weight room. He may have to be “redshirted” out the gate, but I'd bet money on him being a plus pass protector in time.

5. Dawand Jones, Ohio State

BIG BOARD RANK: 44

He has to be put in a certain role, but in that, he could dominate. If you have a mobile quarterback, this is the guy you want at right tackle.

6. Matthew Bergeron, Syracuse

BIG BOARD RANK: 54

Bergeron is solid in so many ways, but he lacks a lot of high-end plays on tape that get you excited.

7. Darnell Wright, Tennessee

BIG BOARD RANK: 71

Wright is an ascending tackle with a ton of experience against top competition in a class chock-full of inexperienced tackles.

8. Jaelyn Duncan, Maryland

BIG BOARD RANK: 84

 

9. Cody Mauch, North Dakota State

BIG BOARD RANK: 91

Mauch is an outstanding fit for any team that gets their offensive linemen out on the move in the run game. It just might take him a few years to get there in pass protection.

10. Tyler Steen, Alabama

BIG BOARD RANK: 128
