2024 NFL Draft: Top 25 Offensive Linemen

College Positions: Right Tackle

NFL Positions: Right Tackle / Right Guard

"Taliese Fuaga is an NFL ready run blocker with the athleticism and power to succeed in any scheme. He is explosive out of his stance and can lock onto defenders at the second level and make them pay for getting in his way. As a pass blocker, he shows flashes but his average arm length creates issues that can't really be fixed. I think he can play tackle in the NFL, but he can be a pro-bowl (or even All-pro) at guard if he continues to progress." - Building the Board scout Steve Letizia

6. Graham Barton - Duke

College Positions: Left Tackle / Center

NFL Positions: Left Guard / Center

"Like Skoronski last year, it's a foregone conclusion that Graham Barton will be transitioning to the interior in the NFL due to his lack of length (32.875-inch arms). But unlike Skoronski, who moved to guard, Barton's future home most likely is at center. There will be a transition period, but Barton has all the tools to be a successful NFL pro." - Building the Board scout Steve Letizia

5. Zach Frazier - West Virginia

College Positions: Left Guard / Center

NFL Positions: Center

"I love smart centers. This guy will be in charge of all the protection calls. He needs to be smart, able to think on his feet, and able to communicate clearly and concisely. Moreover, I love centers with a wrestling background. The art of moving people and leveraging your position is something you constantly learn and perfect over many years of practice. His athleticism is only average, and there are still parts of his game that he can improve upon, but this is a player I'd bet on time and time again. The mental aspect of playing center is something we see get overlooked every year in draft season, and Zach Frazier's football IQ bleeds through the tape." - Building the Board scout Quinten Krzysko

4. Olu Fashanu - Penn State

College Positions: Left Tackle

NFL Positions: Left Tackle

"On tape, Olu Fashanu is a pass protector who's much more jazz than heavy metal. He wins in pass protection with excellent arm length, savvy hand usage, and an immovable anchor. His run blocking leaves a lot to be desired, though. While his athleticism shines in pass reps, it diminishes in the run-blocking reps. At times, he seems unsure or hesitant to initiate and use his full power as a run blocker. His ceiling is that of an All-Pro while his floor is a capable starter. With his pass-blocking skills, he's sure to start in the NFL for a long time." - Building the Board scout Quinten Krzysko

3. JC Latham - Alabama

College Positions: Right Tackle / Right Guard

NFL Positions: Right Tackle / Right Guard; also played Left Tackle in high school

"When watching JC Latham, you'd never guess he tops the scales at nearly 360 pounds. The first step of his kick slide is explosive, yet he remains completely under control, allowing him to get to his spot even when facing college football’s elite speed rushers in the SEC. So, if you can’t get around him, the only option is to go through him. This seems logical, but any attempt at a bull rush is shut down immediately by his ability to drop his hips, dig in his heels, and anchor with ease." - Building the Board scout Steve Letizia

2. Jackson Powers-Johnson

College Positions: Left Guard / Center / Right Guard

NFL Positions: Left Guard / Center / Right Guard

"When I initially watched several Oregon games, Jackson Powers-Johnson consistently stood out with his remarkable pancake blocks. However, once he declared for the draft and I studied him more, it became evident that he was much more than just a formidable mauler. Despite having only one year of starting experience in college, Powers-Johnson's hand placement and timing are remarkably advanced, showcasing a sound understanding of his assignments." - Building the Board scout Steve Letizia

1. Joe Alt - Notre Dame

College Positions: Left Tackle

NFL Positions: Left Tackle

"I love draft prospects who grew up around the NFL. These players seem to have a stronger grasp of what's expected from them and what it takes to stick around in the NFL. Because of that, I believe these prospects tend to have higher floors than others. Notre Dame has a history of producing quality offensive linemen. And Joe Alt is no different, possessing special size and athleticism for the offensive tackle position. Additionally, I like his background including time playing quarterback and tight end. That should help give him a better perspective of how he's impacting players around him. When I look at him, I see a nearly perfect offensive tackle prospect. The knocks on Alt are all either minor or fixable, for the most part, while the positives are clear as day." - Building the Board scout Quinten Krzysko
