The 2025 NFL Draft is stacked with college tackles who could move inside at the next level. It means that the interior offensive line class is stacked with potential, with several talented prospects slated to start as rookies.
Multiple guards and centers likely come off the board in the first two days of the draft, with the deep position group poised ot make a big impact on teams’ evaluations.
10) Anthony Belton, NC State
Anthony Belton has been an outstanding college tackle and could survive outside at the next level, but he could be a stud at guard. The NC State Wolfpack offensive lineman plays with potent power, and a move inside would free him up to utilize his heavy hands and nasty demeanor.
At 6’6” and 336 pounds, Belton has shattering upper body strength and the ability to create leverage. He overwhelms defenders in the running game, where his physicality and mauling finishing drives opponents back. However, the Wolfpack offensive lineman has foot speed that can be negated by a move inside.
9) Jared Wilson, Georgia
Jared Wilson is just a one-year starter for the Georgia Bulldogs but has showcased elite athleticism snapping the ball in Athens. He was the fastest offensive lineman at the 2025 NFl Combine, running a 4.84 40-yard dash, and that leg drive and athletic ability shows up on tape.
Wilson plays low and bursts out of his stance. He consistently gets under larger defensive linemen and has striking hands. The 6’3”, 310-pound center has the movement skills to work in space as a puller and has good range. However, he needs to continue to develop his power profile and core strength as a pro.
8) Tate Ratledge, Georgia
Tate Ratledge is a strong, dense guard who is a combative blocker. The Georgia right guard has a grounded stance that provides a strong anchor in pass protection and brings quickness as a mover in the run game, which led to an impressive sub-five-second 40-yard dash at the 2025 NFL Combine.
The 6’6”, 308-pound Bulldog has clamping hand usage and a high-level motor to create leverage consistently. Meanwhile, his aggressive physicality, awareness, and athleticism give Ratledge a high floor at the next level.
7) Marcus Mbow, Purdue
Marcus Mbow started 12 games at right tackle in 2024 but has also played right guard with the Purdue Boilermakers. He projects best as a center in the NFL, where his natural athleticism and technique as a puller make him one of the top center prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft class.
At 6’4” and 303 pounds, Mbow has eye-popping burst and grappling, inescapable hands as a run blocker. He has awareness and anticipation before the snap. His active hands allow him to counter and reset as a pass protector, where his technique and lower half mobility can allow him to be a starter in year one.
6) Wyatt Milum, West Virginia
Wyatt Milum has starred 32 games at tackle but projects best as an interior offensive lineman in the NFL. With 32 ⅝ inch arms, the West Virginia Cavalier lacks the length, natural quickness, and flexibility to stick outside.
However, Milum is a powerful, physical, and forceful prospect who plays with incisive strength and a hot motor. The 6’6”, 313-pound lineman has vicious hand useage and locking grip to drive defenders off the ball.
5) Grey Zabel, North Dakota State
Grey Zabel could play all five spots across the offensive line. That versatility will be desirable for NFL teams. However, with 32 ¼ inch arm length, the North Dakota State Bison offensive lineman will kick inside at the next level.
At 6’6” and 312 pounds, Zabel keeps his pad level low, plays square despite his height, and is a master at attacking under a defender’s pads. He has exceptional footwork and fluid movement to work in space as a run blocker, while his fluid lower half allows him to secure his anchor as a pass protector.
4) Jonah Savaiinaea, Arizona
Jonah Savaiinaea plays right tackle for the Arizona Wildcats, but a move inside is projected at the next level. The 6’4”, 324-pound offensive lineman lacks the athleticism to stick outside in the NFL, as his agility, flexibility, and movement are below average. But his overall skill set is incredibly promising as a guard.
Savaiinaea’s dense frame, rooted center of gravity, and physicality allow him to win with dominating force. The Wildcats guard project is a mauler on the move and possesses stunning hand usage and displacing leg drive to stay square and open up running lanes.
3) Donovan Jackson, Ohio State
Donovan Jackson is clean. Going underrated in this draft class, he can claim to be the most underappreciated offensive lineman. The Ohio State offensive lineman already showcased excellent play strength, natural athleticism, and explosive movement. However, when he flexed out to play left tackle when Josh Simmons got injured, his tape was also some of the cleanest in the class.
A versatile lineman, Booker still projects best as a guard who can play tackle in a pinch. His top-tier intelligence, awareness, short-area quickness, and powerful stance make the Buckeyes’ guard one of the most consistent and reliable prospects.
2) Tyler Booker, Alabama
Tyler Booker is a pure guard with an imposing frame and clean technique. The 6’5”, 321-pound interior lineman plays low in his stance to generate leverage with his natural strength and punchy hands to attack under the pads. His lower body strength is punishing for defenders, where his physicality overwhelms.
While the Alabama Crimson Tide guard is sudden out of his stance, he doesn’t have the snappy footwork or natural athletic ability as others and is best projected into a power scheme.
1) Will Campbell, LSU
There is a raging debate over Will Campbell’s projection. He is the top overall offensive lineman in this class, but the LSU left tackle has 32 ⅝-inch arms and a wingspan of 77 ⅜-inches and doesn’t meet the necessary thresholds some NFL teams impose. That wingspan is the fifth-shortest recorded since 2003 among offensive tackles.
Nevertheless, Campbell has excellent play strength, natural balance, and elite footwork. His technique is refined and developed, while his hypermobility allows him to retain leverage.
However, the concerns on tape stem from the lack of length, which can be negated with a move inside.
