CFN 2026 NFL Draft Offensive Tackle Rankings: Solid First-Round Talent, Strong Day 2 Depth

Best of the Rest Offensive Tackles
(In alphabetical order, with the projected draft round in parentheses)
Austin Barber, Florida (4); Jude Bowry, Boston College (4); Kage Casey, Boise State (4); Drew Shelton, Penn State (4); Isaiah World, Oregon (5)

Keagan Trost

CFN OT Rank: 10
College: Missouri
Projected Draft Round: 4
Height/Weight: 6-5, 311
Experience: Seven years in college, one-year starter in the FBS.

Superior frame and plenty of experience - mostly at Indiana State - he had a great last two years at Wake Forest. The talent is there to play just about anywhere on the line and could end up at guard.

Dametrious Crownover

CFN OT Rank: 9
College: Texas A&M
Projected Draft Round: 4
Height/Weight: 6-7, 319
Experience: Two-year starter at right tackle, four-year producer.

He might slip through the cracks, but there’s a lot to love with great athleticism and frame. He’s not a blaster, but he’ll be a versatile blocker who can really move.

Caleb Tiernan

CFN OT Rank: 8
College: Northwestern
Projected Draft Round: 3
Height/Weight: 6-8, 323
Experience: Two-time All-Big Ten starter, four-year starter.

Ready right away, he’s a team leader who can work at either tackle spot. He won’t destroy anyone, but he’s a rock-solid technician.

Max Iheanachor

CFN OT Rank: 7
College: Arizona State
Projected Draft Round: 2
Height/Weight: 6-6, 321
Experience: JUCO transfer who turned into an All-Big 12 star.

Three-year starter. Quick for his size, can play on the left or right side with a world of upside as a great Day Two value.

Blake Miller

CFN OT Rank: 6
College: Clemson
Projected Draft Round: 2
Height/Weight: 6-7, 317
Experience: Four-year starter, three-time All-ACC.

Ultra-durable, he might be a right tackle only, but he’s a plug-and-play technician who won’t miss a snap.

Kadyn Proctor

CFN OT Rank: 5
College: Alabama
Projected Draft Round: 1
Height/Weight: 6-7, 352
Experience: Three-year starter, two-time All-SEC, All-American

HUGE, he’s almost too big for an NFL tackle and might be better suited inside. He’ll blast for the run, meh in pass protection.

Caleb Lomu

CFN OT Rank: 4
College: Utah
Projected Draft Round: 2
Height/Weight: 6-6, 313
Experience: Two-year starter, All-Big 12 star last year.

The sky is the limit. A great athlete for his size, he has franchise tackle talent at a likely good value price. Give him a year of taking his lumps, and then look out.

Monroe Freeling

CFN OT Rank: 3
College: Georgia
Projected Draft Round: 1
Height/Weight: 6-7, 315
Experience: Two-year starter, All-SEC last year.

Moves great, perfect frame, and has the upside to be an elite left tackle with a little more time and seasoning.

Spencer Fano

CFN OT Rank: 2
College: Utah
Projected Draft Round: 1
Height/Weight: 6-6, 311
Experience: Three-year starter, three-time All-American.

He doesn’t exactly look the part, and he’s sort of a funky blocker by NFL standards and styles, but he shoves his guy out of the way and protects the quarterback - like, what you’re supposed to do as an offensive lineman. Don’t worry about how the sausage is made.

Francis Mauigoa

CFN OT Rank: 1
College: Miami
Projected Draft Round: 1
Height/Weight: 6-5, 329
Experience: Three-year starter, three-time All-ACC, All-American, Jacobs Trophy as the ACC’s top lineman last year.

The only knock is that he's a right tackle by trade - that’s not as big a problem as it used to be.

A powerful technician who doesn’t make mistakes, stick him on the right side - he won’t be a superstar pass protector on the left side - and enjoy the Pro Bowl production for the next ten years.

Best Value Prospect

Caleb Lomu, Utah
Okay, fine, he won't exactly be a great value prospect if he goes in the first round, which is possible. But he'll probably be about the fifth tackle off the board, and he's got the upside to be the best blocker in the draft.

So what's the knock? He got by a bit on his athleticism in college and could need some tweaking. Great, give him a year or so and enjoy.

Top Sleeper Prospect

Isaiah World, Oregon
A fantastic transfer pickup from Nevada, he's got 6-8 size with a solid pop when he drives into his man. It might take a little while, and it'll take a ton of patience for a likely late Day 3 pick, but there's way too much boom potential to ignore.

Will Go Too Early

Kadyn Proctor, Alabama
There were times when he moved and played like an elite, gigantic tackle with amazing athleticism for his size. At other times, he was just another part of an Alabama line that couldn't run block at all.

He's got all the positives in terms of NFL tools, but the first round - where he'll likely go - might be a tad rich, especially since he might end up at guard.
