Here are the five main offensive line prospects in NFL 2025. (Davis Long / Yahoo Sports)
1. Armand Membou, Missouri
Charles McDonald: Membou checks so many boxes for a prospect of a franchise tackle. Athletic, strong, plays with a good lever effect and a good technique – there are really not many holes in his game, and he has even more in advance to draw.
For someone who weighs more than 330 pounds, Membou carries his weight, and his ability to be an executor on the second level of the defense is rare. He can end up being one of the THE The best players in the class when everything is said and done.

It is an offensive starting tackle of day 1 with the room to become an All-Pro.
Nate Tice: Membou has a unique construction for a tackle but always has the length, strength and athletics to stay there. He had an excellent day of NFL test combined with Indianapolis with 4.91 40 times while reaching a top speed of 20.28 miles per hour – the fastest among all offensive line players. It is a particularly absurd top speed to reach at 332 pounds.
Membou also decreases test numbers on the film. It is an easy engine in space and can constantly reach outdoor defenders on zone races, a capacity that has helped to unlock a lot of the best Missouri strike games.

Membou can absolutely stay on a scale, and although he has played on the right side this year for Missouri, I think he has the capacity for movement, the length and enough varnish to get started on the left side, if necessary. Membou could even get started at the next level, which is more a compliment to his skills than something that is necessary. Membou could always work on his technique and his placement in hand, but these are teaching things that will come over time and are much more acceptable by considering the youth of Membou (he was not 21 years before the end of March).
Membou is an ascending perspective with many things that are difficult to train and a lot to love.
2. Will Campbell, LSU
Nate Tice: A gentle technician who rarely comes out of the position with his feet or his body as a blocker, Campbell already shows good use of the hand and the ability to recover against defensive counters due to his calm and fast leg game.

LSU often puts Campbell on an island in withdrawal situations that will help his game translate at the next level, and he plays with good eyes and a conscience as a racing and protection blocker, often anticipating defensive cascades and an adjustment quickly. Its funky position often makes its athletics real a bad service; Campbell is an excellent athlete (which was supported in Indianapolis) with the turn to push in its blocks with ease.
The length of the Campbell arm will be the subject of discussion between the assessors: it was measured at 32 5/8 inches, just below the prerequisite of the common team of 33 inch for offensive plated in the NFL. He has not embarrassed him so far against the longer defenders at the university because of his placement in hand, his technique, his athletics and his ability to constantly create a lever effect on his blocks. It makes me think that it can at least have a chance to stay away in the NFL. He is also an extremely intelligent player, often calling blitz and a defensive movement on his side of the ball.
I think that the combination of athletics and technique allows Campbell to alleviate its shortcomings with the length of the arm and stay tackle, but even if it starts inside to keep, it could be a needle player inside.

Charles McDonald: The only thing that is missing from Campbell which separates it from the truly elite tackle prospects is the length of the arm (32 5/8 inches). This can cause him trouble at the next level because he receives the challenge of dealing with the NFL rushers, but his combined training showed that he had the following level athletics to be won outside.
Campbell has been considered a highest hope for years for years now and there haven't been too many things that have changed this. Unless injuries, it is a 10 -year starter.
3. Kelvin Banks Jr., Texas
Charles McDonald: Banks is a solid offensive line perspective which plans to tackle or keep the NFL, depending on where the teams see it in shape. It could be stronger when it was sometimes struggling against the most difficult adversaries in Texas, but the frame of a quality starter is there with a little seasoning.

The banks have entered the season as a perspective among the first 10, but it is not likely to go there at the time of the draft. However, not the worst jet of dice for teams looking for an offensive line helps early.
Nate Tice: Banks is an experienced blind blocker who is always under control. It is largely built and rarely comes out because of its light feet, its good base, its strength and its balance. He is a competitive and hard player who can move people in the racing game, and the coordinators will have no qualms about running behind him.
Banks is even more fun to look as a pass protector. He shows the ability to hit the defenders inside their stamps, allowing him to control and cancel them, but can be incompatible with his placement of the hand which can put it in bad positions sometimes.

Banks has a good construction to play inside or outside and enough arm length (33½ inches) which helps him compensate for errors. His combination of speed and strength, as well as 40 games to his credit when he enters the NFL, gives banks the profile of a high -quality offensive line perspective that can hit the soil as a professional.
I see him better at the goalkeeper at the next level, but his game this season, and measurable to the combine, have won him more than to stay on the platinum.
4. Josh Simmons, Ohio State
Nate Tice: Simmons organized a fantastic season before undergoing a knee injury that ended his campaign in 2024. Long and light on his feet, Simmons is a good athlete and an easy engine in the racing game. He is constantly able to remain balanced during climbing on the second level and is able to regularly pass the head inside the defenders at the rear of the zone races. His technique and strength in the protection of passes had improved considerably this season, which makes him a more balanced player than simply purely focused on finesse.

Simmons' game strength improved so much that it was starting to make a little contact in the race game before undergoing its injury.
Simmons can be injured, but it is size, enough length (33 inch arm) and talents to be a legitimate blind protector at the next level. His athletics and his ascending game make me think that there is even more to exploit for a team with a good offensive line coach once Simmons becomes 100%again.
Charles McDonald: Simmons is dealing with rehabilitation that comes out of a torn balloon tendon, but according to media reports, he is on the right track to be ready for the start of the training camp. If can be healthy, Simmons has the tools to become a regular offensive tackle in the NFL. It is a smooth engine which should be a protector of locking of day 1. It can end up being a choice of hiding place for a team, but it drips with talent and a frame to add more weight and strength.
5. Josh Conly Jr., Oregon
Charles McDonald: Another great athletic offensive line player who can contribute from the start. Conerly could be a right tackle in the NFL, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. This position group concerns the sum of its parts, and Conerly is a quality perspective with the place to develop. It is a good engine that can still become stronger, but the capacity for movement to its size is what makes it a coveted perspective.

Nate Tice: Conly has a good length and plays the light on her feet. He can really move in the racing game due to his explosive debate to the SNAP and has the ability to recover in a coherent way as a pass protector because of his athletics.
You can see Conerly work on his placement and technique while he plays, and he has improved considerably in this area this season. It is encouraging that Conerly can win on her blocks despite the inconsistencies because he is such a good athlete. And it must be remembered that he is also on the youngest side, having been 21 years old in November.
Conerly quickly improved during the season and, hopefully, will continue to go up and add even more diapers to her technique. He could bear to add more playing strength, especially on the lower half, but that is something that you hope to get aging. Overall, Conerly has a lot of tools, is young and the rise of a strong left -handed tackle, if her strength and her game technique continue to develop.
