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
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
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
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
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
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
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 Aireontae Ersery, Minnesota
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.
8. T Donovan Jackson, Ohio State
Jackson isn't the flashiest player, but his footwork, technique and leadership give him Day 1 starter potential.
9. T Ozzy Trapilo, Boston College
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
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
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
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
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
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
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)
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 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, Florida
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.
18. T Chase Lundt, Connecticut
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.
19. T Ajani Cornelius, Oregon
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.
20. T Logan Brown, Kansas

21. T Emery Jones, LSU
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.
22. T John Williams, Cincinnati
Scouting summary coming soon!
23. T Jack Nelson, Wisconsin
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.
24. T Hollin Pierce, Rutgers
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.
25. T Xavier Truss, Georgia

26. T Trey Wedig, Indiana

27. T Carson Vinson, Alabama A&M
