Updated 2025 offensive line preview … The 2024 draft was the best ever for the OTs as 7 players from the position – which tied the all-time high for the position set originally in 2002 – were selected in this past April’s opening round. That included 5 OTs selected within the first 18 picks overall, while a total of 14 OTs were taken in the first three rounds, which was a new high for the position. And while it appears that will also be some very good OTs available this coming April, they have a long way to go to match this past year’s crop at the position. That said, Will Campbell of LSU certainly looks all the part of a top 5-10 prospect for 2025, although he doesn’t appear to have quite the pedigree of the likes of John Alt, the top selected this past April. In fact, its not clear that Campbell has the same pedigree of Texas’ Kelvin Banks, who has quite literally been an AA LT since he stepped on campus in Austin. However, Banks, at barely 6-4 and without real long arms, lacks prototype OT length and could drop somewhat if teams think of him more as a RT or even OG candidate. Campbell and Banks, though, are currently the only OTs considered to be first-round locks, although there are several others at the position with either late first round or second day potential including Campbell’s LSU teammate Emory Jones, Jonah Savaiiaea of Arizona, and Aireontae Ersery of Minnesota, currently one of the faster risers in the upcoming draft class. There is also a solid group of second-tier OT prospects who should be available later in the second day including Josh Simmons of Ohio State, Josh Conerly of Oregon, Jack Nelson of Wisconsin, Josh Gray of Oregon State, and Blake Miller of Clemson. At the same time in something of a rarity, there is decent chance that an OT from the Ivy League is selected by the end of the second day as 6-8, 315-pound Jalen Travis of Princeton, a good athlete who hales from a family of basketball players, is one of the leading FCS prospects for the upcoming draft. Here is a updated list of the top OTs likely to be available for the 2025 draft.

Unlike their OT cousins, the interior line isn’t very often a premium position at the NFL draft and all signs tend to point to the fact that that will be the case again this coming April. At the same time, this could still be one of the more interesting position groupings in 2025, especially the OGs. On the one hand, it does not appear that there are any OGs considered to be a lock to be a first-round pick this year, at least at this time, although Alabama All-All-American Tyler Booker of Alabama and Georgia’s Earnest Greene, who actually plays LT for Bulldogs, are close and could ultimately get some late opening round interest. At the same time, though, there should be some very good OG prospects in the latter part of the second and into the third including Javontez Spraggins of Tennessee, Ohio State’s Donovan Jackson, and the veteran Georgia duo of Tate Rutledge and Dylan Fairchild. Meanwhile, in addition to UGA’s Greene, the OG position could be really spiced up by a number of college OTs that could very well project to kick inside at the next level including Ajani Cornelius of Oregon, NC State’s Anthony Belton, Xavier Truss of Georgia, and Penn State’s Drew Shelton. On the other hand, it does not look like it will be a banner year of any kind for the Cs, especially after three went in the top 50 picks or so last April. In fact, it may be kind of telling that the arguably the most talented C in college football these days is Parker Brailsford, who transferred from Washington to Alabama this winter, but he’s way undersized at a listed 6-2, 275 which needless to say could compromise his draft potential. Indeed, in the end, Bryce Foster, now at Kansas after transferring from Texas A&M who at least has prototype size at 6-4, 330, could be the first C off the board next April, but it may not be until the third day. For now, here are our preliminary listings for both the OGs and Cs.
