2026 offensive tackle rankings

I feel like Freeling and Proctor are being overvalued, while Lomu is vastly underrated. If Lomu gets to 19 I'd be happy to take him. 

I want Lomu, but would understand Freeling or Proctor.

Lomu has the best movement skills of any of the top tackles in this draft. He can mirror, he can pull, he can trap, he can get to the second level, he finishes, and he has great hands and balance. I don't actually understand why Fano is considered to be so much higher in the rankings. The only thing Fano has on him is strength and a year or two of NFL training will fix that.

Freeling’s got the highest ceiling. Maui won’t be there. Both Utes aren’t great in the power game. Proctor gets beat FAST too much for my liking…Ickey style. Proctor could stand to get in better shape, might benefit from better coaching. I’m cold on the Utes, just not a fan of using a 1st on guys who didn’t physically manhandle college kids in the Big 12.

OTs are getting bigger and this team especially likes bigger ones.

 

would not be surprised if they really like Proctor more than the average fan does. He’s got atypical movement skills for a guy his size-a valuable attribute they are pretty familiar with after watching the Rams twice up close this past season.

Thanks for this post. I hope we can find someone who can handle the speed rush. 

You are welcome

I was glad to find a simple picture of all of them 

let’s hope for the best …a different player caller might change things for the better too

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
