Interesting that the Lions are often said to have the best OLine given where their OTS are placed on this chart.
Yeah the Eagles are way ahead of everyone else at the tackles. And of all the teams I've seen our defensive front match up with this season they were the best. We had no chance to stop them because of how well they handled our boys.

Detroit has one of the best lines in the league, there's no doubt. But I think our boys can play with them. Eagles are just on a different level and it's why I dread going to Philly in the playoffs. I think our playoff run ends there for sure.

Still think the Rams go offense first or trade back, but if they go DB keep an eye on Texas DB Jahdae Barron. I expect his stock to rise during the process.

There are like 5 or 6 CB that we could grab in the 23-32 range potentially that are CB1 on day one. Even could be a couple with our first pick in the 3rd actually. Pending testing/workout changes of course. But yes Barron is right there with Morrison and Revel Jr in my book.

Aireontae Ersery, Minnesota​

One of the premier tackles in the class, Ersery can solidify himself as a first-round pick with a good week in Mobile. He’s looking to become the first Golden Gopher lineman to hear their name called on night one since center Brian Williams was taken 18th overall back in 1989 (New York Giants).

Armand Membou, Missouri​

Another potential lock for night one, Membou is tackle/guard versatile with excellent footwork and technique. He attacks opposing edge rushers before they can run their feet, an elite trait along the front five and something to watch in Membou’s game during the week.

Josh Conerly Jr., Oregon​

There may not be a player in attendance who has raised their draft stock more this fall than Conerly. A fleet-footed technician, Conerly allowed just a single sack all of 2024.

Clay Webb, Jacksonville State​

A small school standout, Webb’s wrestling background (45-1 in high school) is evident in the ways he can turn, relocate, and overpower defensive linemen. It won’t be hard to spot Webb as he’ll likely be the only non-QB in attendance to not wear gloves.

Wyatt Milum, West Virginia​

Senior Bowl week is big for Milum. Another prospect that has been discussed as both a tackle and guard, Milum’s work at both spots will go a long way as teams attempt to solidify his projection.

Taint Ratledge, Georgia​

One of the premier guards in the class, Ratledge’s tenacity up front can be felt on tape. In four seasons in the SEC, Ratledge allowed just two sacks on 1,180 pass pro snaps.

Jared Wilson, Georgia​

It would be a surprise if Wilson isn’t the first center taken in April. While some other players could make the move to the pivot spot down the line, Wilson is the far and away top prize at the position since Ohio State’s Seth McLaughlin went down late in the year.

Caleb Rogers, Texas Tech​

You never knew where Rogers was going to line up along the Red Raiders’ front. Sometimes he’s at right guard, then he’s on the opposite side, then he’s out at right tackle. That versatility will hold weight. He can play a bit over his toes at times, but he handles power extremely well and has a nastiness about him that offensive line coaches love. He’s also a workout warrior, with a 400-plus-pound power clean and 600-plus-pound squat on his resume. At 6-foot-5 and 310 pounds, Rogers has also been clocked near 19 mph via GPS in-game technology.

Jackson Slater, Sacramento State​

A first-team FCS All-American this year, Slater is a nasty mover within the interior who will have his way with players who are unable to anchor in the ground game. He’s a power-laden interior presence with more movement skills than given credit for.

Jonah Monheim, USC​

One of the most versatile linemen in the class, Monheim has more than 390 career snaps at both tackle spots, right guard, and center, where he made the full-time move before the 2024 season. His ability to play up and down a front five has held weight in conversations.

Ozzy Trapilo, Boston College​

Another product out of the Boston College pipeline, Trapilo is a large (6-foot-7) and long offensive lineman with the versatility to provide depth along an offensive line. He operated primarily in a gap scheme during his days in the ACC, although he has shown the ability to get out in space on occasion.

Jalen Travis, Iowa State​

A transfer from Princeton, Travis has been well-known in scouting circles for a few years now. He was fantastic in his final collegiate season allowing just one sack in 475 pass pro snaps, and is a player that could leave the week as a massive ‘riser’ if he can showcase a few of the traits that put him Mobile.

Carson Vinson, Alabama A&M​

The lone HBCU product set to attend the Senior Bowl, Vinson has some technical deficiencies to iron out but is the type of prospect that coaches look at and label as a project they’d love to get their fingerprints on. It’ll be a big step up in competition next week—the exact type of environment scouts want to see him succeed in.

Jack Nelson, Wisconsin​

You always know what you’re going to get with linemen out of Wisconsin. Nelson is long, physical, plays with good leverage, and has had a few occasions where he has blown defenders off their feet in the ground game.

Anthony Belton, NC State​

A massive man with an extremely strong lower half and athleticism to boot, it wasn’t long ago when discussions centered around Belton as a potential first-round pick. That won’t happen this spring, but he’s a player teams are intrigued about if everything comes together.

Emery Jones Jr., LSU​

Tackle or guard will be the golden question in regards to Jones. Looked more so as a guard at this point of his evaluation, Jones has a lofty performance ceiling at the position with as fluid a lower half as any lineman in the class.

Miles Frazier, LSU​

Frazier has some moments on tape that make you rewind a few times… in the best way possible. He’s got good feet and good hands, and while he’s not the most powerful athlete to hold his ground, he can boost an interior three. Good footwork sets the foundation in any sport at any level, and Frazier checks the box.

Garrett Dellinger, LSU​

A power-laden lineman with a wide upper half, Dellinger is best living on the vertical plane. He missed most of the back end of the campaign but will attempt to use his week in Mobile as a springboard toward the thick of the pre-draft cycle.

Marcus Mbow, Purdue​

One of the most unorthodox players you’ll watch at the tackle position, Mbow plays the position at his own tempo with varied punches, stabs, footwork, and all types of stuff to keep edge rushers off balance. He’s got a great test ahead of him and if he passes with flying colors, his stock will continue to rise.

Jonah Savaiinaea, Arizona​

Last year, we saw Arizona standout turned Packers first-rounder Jordan Morgan in Mobile. This year it’s Savaiinaea, a man mover with excellent athleticism and recovery footwork. He can play tight at times allowing opponents to work into his chest, but he’s a nightmare to work around when he’s in rhythm.

Jalen Rivers, Miami​

Rivers is a physically strong prospect whose success at guard/tackle showcases a well-rounded lineman that will add depth to an NFL front five. The blindside protectant for Cam Ward this fall, Rivers’ patience and IQ to identify stunts/twists remained evident on tape.

Grey Zabel, North Dakota State​

Another year, another draftable prospect to know from North Dakota State. Zabel enters the draft as one of the FCS’ premier offensive linemen, and for me, a player whose performance floor rivals any front-five contributor in the class.

Logan Brown, Kansas​

Brown can move at right tackle. He’s got excellent feet and movement skills to counter varying skill sets at the position but has to work on countering his inside shoulder. He’ll often overset and is forced to kick back up into the pocket. It’s a small detail that’s coachable, but it’s something to watch in Mobile especially as his opposing pass rushers at the event will watch his tape to see where his weaknesses are.

That’s the ROD censorship at work. His actual name is Tat e; it’s only censored because of Golden Tat e.
