easily the best right tackle in the game. lions run it 4.4 a carry and only gave up 7 sacks even with all the passing. you barely hear his name for getting beat.

bucs gave up 13 sacks in 3 games and he's still elite on his own. the line around him isn't doing him any favors.

- 315

Fourth overall pick out of Georgia by Giants in 2020.
Full player profile and scouting reports →Latest scouting report
giants only 7 sacks but under 4 a carry. still a talented left tackle, the offense just isn't helping him out.
#6
Laremy Tunsil
87/100- College
- Ole Miss
- Jersey
- 78
- Height (in)
- 77
- Weight (lb)
- 313
- Experience (years)
- 11
Drafted No. 13 overall by Dolphins in 2016.
Full player profile and scouting reports →Latest scouting report
Tunsil remains one of the roster's best players, but this report has to start with the triceps surgery. When healthy, he can handle premium rushers without constant help and boosts the run game. Washington's immediate challenge is replacing his play and leadership during recovery.
Strengths: High-end pass protection, run-blocking strength, veteran poise, and mentorship for younger tackles.
Weaknesses: The torn triceps and surgery make his 2026 availability the central issue; the offense cannot assume an immediate return to elite form.
#7
Darnell Wright

Full player profile and scouting reports →Latest scouting report
34 and still one of the best left tackles in the league. broncos only gave up 5 sacks even though the run game is 3.6 a carry. steady as ever.
#9
Taylor Moton
86/100- College
- Western Michigan
- Jersey
- 72
- Height (in)
- 77
- Weight (lb)
- 325
- Experience (years)
- 10
Carolina used a second-round pick on him in 2017.
Full player profile and scouting reports →Latest scouting report
Moton has been the adult in the tackle room for years: steady, physical and generous with the younger players. Health is the priority now, but his return would immediately make the whole unit more settled.
Strengths: Veteran leadership, right-tackle stability, mentoring value, contract security, and high-level experience.
Weaknesses: Blood-clot issue delays availability and creates a serious health/conditioning uncertainty.

cardinals run for 3.6 a carry and the offense is going nowhere on the ground. he's fine in pass pro.

77/100- College
- Oklahoma
- Jersey
- 75
- Height (in)
- 80
- Weight (lb)
- 350
- Experience (years)
- 9
R-signed with the Bengals for $32 million over two years in March 2026.
Full player profile and scouting reports →Latest scouting report
Brown gave the Bengals exactly what they needed last year: 17 starts and every offensive snap after injuries wrecked his 2024. He is enormous, experienced and very hard to get around once his hands land. I have him at an eight because dependable left tackles with 120 career starts do not grow on trees, and the offense was sixth in passing yards despite all the quarterback chaos. He is not quite at his old Pro Bowl peak every Sunday, and low speed rushers can make that 6-foot-8 frame work. Still, extending him was an easy call when Burrow's health is the franchise's biggest concern.
Strengths: Brown uses rare length, mass and grip strength to widen the pocket and erase power rushers. He understands protection angles, has played both tackle spots in multiple offenses and proved his durability again with 1,110 snaps in 2025.
Weaknesses: His height makes it difficult to mirror compact rushers who win low and turn the corner sharply. He can look heavy-footed in space, and his current consistency is a step below the four-year Pro Bowl run from earlier in his career.
#13
Charles Cross
77/100- College
- Mississippi State
- Jersey
- 67
- Height (in)
- 77
- Weight (lb)
- 317
- Experience (years)
- 5
Drafted ninth overall by the Seahawks in 2022.
Full player profile and scouting reports →Latest scouting report
Cross is a legitimate cornerstone left tackle with the feet and experience to handle high-level pass-rush assignments. His steadiness gives Seattle the freedom to keep building a more aggressive offense.
Strengths: Pass-protection athleticism, durability, starting experience and left-tackle value.
Weaknesses: Can improve power against bull rushes and run-blocking finish.
#14
Taliese Fuaga
77/100- College
- Oregon State
- Jersey
- 75
- Height (in)
- 78
- Weight (lb)
- 324
- Experience (years)
- 3
Drafted 14th overall by Saints in 2024.
Full player profile and scouting reports →Latest scouting report
Fuaga is the physical tone-setter on the right side: big, aggressive and built to move defenders. He already looks like a long-term fixture, though he still has room to smooth out his pass sets.
Strengths: Power, size, run-blocking force and young-starter upside.
Weaknesses: Pass-protection refinement and occasional balance issues in space.
#15
Jake Matthews
77/100- College
- Texas A&M
- Jersey

34 and 5.0 a carry for atlanta, he's a big reason Bijan is going crazy. still a steady left tackle.
#16
Josh Simmons
77/100- College
- Ohio State
- Jersey
- 71
- Height (in)
- 77
- Weight (lb)
- 310
- Experience (years)
- 2
Drafted with No. 32 pick by Chiefs in 2025.
Full player profile and scouting reports →Latest scouting report
Simmons has high-end tackle tools, and the encouraging part is that Kansas City is already trusting him with meaningful reps. The only question is whether the knee allows the athleticism to look fully natural over a full NFL season.
Strengths: First-round pedigree, advanced pass-protection tape, first-unit reps, athletic upside, and initial-53 role.
Weaknesses: Returning from a torn patellar tendon and still developing NFL technique and durability.
#17
Ozzy Trapilo
77/100- College
- Boston College
- Jersey
- 75
- Height (in)
- 80
- Weight (lb)
- 312
- Experience (years)
- 2
Drafted 56th overall by the Bears in 2025.
Full player profile and scouting reports →Latest scouting report
Trapilo has already shown he belongs when healthy. The immediate story is recovery, but his rookie emergence makes him more than just a name on the depth chart.
Strengths: Massive frame, encouraging rookie starting tape, left-tackle upside and ability to handle a high-leverage role.
Weaknesses: A major knee injury clouds his 2026 availability and delays the development momentum he built as a rookie.
#18
Christian Darrisaw
76/100- College
- Virginia Tech

Drafted 23rd overall by Vikings in 2021.
Full player profile and scouting reports →Latest scouting report
vikings are 3-0 but they gave up 9 sacks. he's fine, the line as a unit isn't as good as the record.

only 2 games and ravens are running for 5.2 a carry. when healthy he's still really good.
#22
Spencer Brown
75/100- College
- Northern Iowa
- Jersey
- 79
- Height (in)
- 80
- Weight (lb)
- 311
- Experience (years)
- 6
Drafted in 2021 third round out of Northern Iowa.
Full player profile and scouting reports →Latest scouting report
Brown's big-frame, right-tackle work benefits from rare continuity with Torrence. He can be a road-grader in the run game while using that familiarity to keep the edge secure for Allen.
Strengths: Size, right-side continuity, run blocking and accumulated starting experience.
Weaknesses: Longer tackle body can be stressed by quick edge rushers, requiring consistent hand placement and footwork.
#23
Jordan Mailata
75/100- Jersey

- 365

big dude who blocks well in the run game. eagles 8 sacks taken though, the line isn't clicking.
#24
Kingsley Suamataia
75/100- College
- BYU
- Jersey
- 76
- Height (in)
- 76
- Weight (lb)
- 326
- Experience (years)
- 3
Kansas City used a second-round pick on him in 2024.
Full player profile and scouting reports →Latest scouting report
Moving Suamataia inside looks like the right simplification for a gifted young blocker. He has the movement skills to be a problem in space; now the task is letting his guard technique become as dependable as his athletic profile.
Strengths: Returning starter, tackle-guard versatility, athletic movement, growing guard comfort, and strong surrounding line.
Weaknesses: Still early in the transition from tackle and must show more week-to-week consistency against powerful NFL interior rushers.
#25
Joe Alt
74/100- College
- Notre Dame
- Jersey
- 76
- Height (in)
- 80
- Weight (lb)
- 322

- 3
Drafted with No. 5 pick in 2024.
Full player profile and scouting reports →Latest scouting report
young tackle on a chargers team that's 0-3 and giving up sacks. he's fine, line isn't.
#26
Amarius Mims
74/100- College
- Georgia
- Jersey
- 71
- Height (in)
- 80
- Weight (lb)
- 350
- Experience (years)
- 3
Taken with No. 18 overall pick by Bengals in 2024.
Full player profile and scouting reports →Latest scouting report
Mims took the jump everybody hoped for. He started all 17 games, played 94.6 percent of the snaps and somehow got through 1,051 plays without a holding penalty. At 6-foot-8 and 350 pounds, his length can make the edge feel closed before the rusher even gets started. I have him at an eight, and there is a path to nine if the consistency keeps improving. He is still learning how to handle low, twitchy rushers and cannot always rely on being the biggest man on the field. But after only eight college starts, 30 NFL starts in two years is serious progress.
Strengths: Mims has elite size, reach and recovery range, allowing him to absorb power and steer rushers beyond the quarterback. His 2025 durability and remarkable penalty discipline showed rapid technical development.
Weaknesses: His height can expose his pads and make leverage difficult against compact speed rushers. He remains relatively inexperienced and can be late adjusting when opponents counter inside after threatening the edge.

colts are 1-2 and 3.7 a carry. he's a solid tackle but the whole offense isn't clicking.
#29
Jude Bowry
69/100- College
- Boston College
- Jersey
- 74
- Height (in)
- 77
- Weight (lb)
- 314
- Experience (years)
- 0
Drafted out of Boston College in 2026 fourth round.
Full player profile and scouting reports →Latest scouting report
Bowry has the length and movement skills to be worth developing at either tackle spot. His rookie season is about mastering protection communication and turning traits into steady snaps.
Strengths: Length, athleticism, left-right tackle experience, leadership and pass-protection college tape.
Weaknesses: Rookie adjustment, technique consistency and the challenge of NFL edge speed.
#30
Tytus Howard
69/100- College
- Alabama State
- Jersey
- 71
- Height (in)
- 77
- Weight (lb)
- 320
- Experience (years)
- 8
First-round pick of Texans in 2019.
Full player profile and scouting reports →Latest scouting report
Howard is the veteran athletic tackle Cleveland needs while its rookie tackles grow. His movement skills can help the scheme, but the important work is building five-man timing in a front that changed dramatically.
Strengths: Veteran tackle experience, size-athleticism combination, projected-starter status, and familiarity with Jenkins.
Weaknesses: Must adapt to a new system and line partners, while health and consistency remain crucial for a roster counting on him.
#31
Ikem Ekwonu
68/100- College
- NC State
- Jersey
- 79
- Height (in)
- 76
- Weight (lb)
- 320
- Experience (years)
- 5
Drafted No. 6 overall by Panthers in 2022.
Full player profile and scouting reports →Latest scouting report
Ekwonu remains a tone-setting tackle when healthy, with the physical edge Carolina's run game appreciates. The 2026 season starts as a recovery challenge; getting his explosion and confidence back matters more than rushing him.
Strengths: Physical run blocking, prior starting role, fifth-year option, toughness, and franchise-tackle upside.
Weaknesses: Recovering from torn patellar tendon with no fixed return timeline and a contract-year uncertainty.
#32
Jermaine Eluemunor
68/100- College
- Texas A&M
- Jersey
- 72
- Height (in)
- 76
- Weight (lb)
- 338
- Experience (years)
- 10
Moved to United States at age 14.
Full player profile and scouting reports →Latest scouting report
Eluemunor gives the Giants veteran tackle flexibility in an offense that expects to lean on its line. His best value is making the unit less fragile when a heavy personnel game plan requires every blocker to be assignment-sound.
Strengths: Veteran tackle experience, flexibility and physical-scheme fit.
Weaknesses: Must maintain consistency in a line with several new or young pieces.
