Offensive linemen do not get the same spotlight as quarterbacks or receivers, but when you do not have good ones, your offense falls apart fast. The 2025 NFL Draft features a handful of offensive linemen who have proven themselves at the college level and look ready to make the jump to the pros. These guys bring toughness, skill, and a lot of experience. Here are three linemen near the top of every draft board this year.
Will Campbell has been one of the most reliable left tackles in college football over the past three seasons. He took over the starting job at LSU as a freshman, and he never looked back. At six-foot-six and around 320 pounds, he has the size teams want, and he knows how to use it. He does not panic when facing speed rushers and has the strength to deal with power too.
In 2024, Campbell was named an All-American and won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy, which goes to the best offensive lineman in the SEC. His technique is clean, and he rarely gets caught off balance. Some scouts have nitpicked his arm length, but he has shown he can handle top-tier competition without issue. If your team needs a left tackle who can start right away and stay solid for the next decade, Campbell might be your guy.
Kelvin Banks Jr. has been the anchor of Texas’s offensive line. He started 42 games at left tackle, showing off his consistency and durability. At six-foot-five and 315 pounds, he moves well and has a good base. He was a key part of Texas making their playoff run in 2024, and he handled some of the best pass rushers in the country without needing extra help.
Banks earned unanimous All-American honors and also won the Outland Trophy, which is given to the best interior lineman, even though he played on the edge. He plays with great control, and he does not lose many reps. Like Campbell, he has had a few questions about arm length, but his tape speaks louder than any measurement. Banks looks like a plug-and-play starter who could thrive at either tackle or guard, depending on what a team needs.
Armand Membou has not gotten as much national attention as some others, but scouts have taken notice. He played right tackle at Missouri, and while he is a bit shorter at six foot three, he makes up for it with power and footwork. In 2024, he posted a 90.6 overall grade from Pro Football Focus and did not allow a sack all season.
Membou started his college career as a guard and moved to tackle, showing he can play multiple positions across the line. That kind of versatility matters in the NFL, where injuries force teams to shuffle players often. He is aggressive, finishes blocks, and has quick hands. He may not be a top-five pick, but he has the tools to become a long-term starter at either guard or right tackle.
This draft class has its stars, and Campbell, Banks Jr., and Membou are at the top when it comes to offensive linemen. Campbell is polished and dependable, Banks brings athleticism and experience, and Membou is the tough, versatile guy who can line up wherever you need him. If your team is looking for protection up front, these are the names you will want to watch when draft night rolls around. Expect them to go high in the 2025 NFL Draft. These linemen should turn out to be high-value.
