The 2025 NFL Draft is now right around the corner. The order at the top of the draft has been decided and fans now are looking ahead to the future playmakers of their team.
Our team of NFL Draft contributors at A to Z Sports is already fully engaged in 2025 NFL Draft preparations, so we decided to rank our Top 10 prospects at every position collectively.
Eight of our draft analysts ranked our top ten prospects, then tallied the point totals like the AP Poll in college football to create the A to Z Sports Top 10 Positional Rankings series. Here's where we landed on the incoming 2025 NFL Draft offensive tackle class.
It's a difficult tackle group to project, as every analyst had different rankings of players and rarely had much consensus. However, that means this class will offer plenty of discussion throughout the offseason.
1. Tyler Booker, Alabama
Tyler Booker being ranked as the top interior offensive lineman was almost a near consensus decision from the A to Z Sports staff. The Alabama star ranked as the top interior player by five of the eight NFL Draft analysts and never finished below second-place.
At 6-4 and 345 pounds, Booker is a massive offensive guard who cut his weight a little bit this past offseason. He looks more flexible and explosive and has been dominant this season. Booker has the look of a future Pro Bowler with upside, and a very attractive floor to work with.
2. Armand Membou, Missouri
Armand Membou was only ranked in the top ten by two of A to Z's scouts, but a first-place finish carried him high up the rankings.
I don't think it's hyperbole to say Armand Membou has the most enjoyable film of the entire offensive line class. He frequently buries defenders with his power, delivering punishing body blow after body blow as the game goes on. some mixed opinions on where he should play at the next level, but he is a talented offensive lineman.
3. Tate Ratledge, Georgia
Tate Ratledge battled some injuries this season, but when he plays, he has been a dominant fixture for the Bulldogs. At 6-6 and 315 pounds, Ratledge’s presence is even bigger than his frame. While his upside might not be quite as high as some other interior offensive lineman in this class, his floor might be the highest.
One A to Z analyst is especially high on Ratledge, having him ranked as their top interior offensive lineman. The majority of the staff had him ranked second, and nobody on the staff had him lower than third. Ratledge is incredibly well-liked, not only by the A to Z staff but by the NFL as well.
4. Donovan Jackson, Ohio State
People who follow college football and the NFL Draft have known Donovan Jackson for quite some time. He began his career as a hot commodity for the Buckeyes, and after some bumpy early moments, he has developed into one of the top offensive linemen in the country, especially after a move to left tackle worked out in his favor this season.
There weren’t many varying opinions on Jackson, who the A to Z staff certainly likes. The 6-4, 320-pound offensive guard is a good combination of traits, experience, and leadership. The NFL has a nice opinion of him, as do various media platforms right now.
5. Marcus Mbow, Purdue
Marcus Mbow is a collegiate tackle, but many project him to play inside at the next level at guard and/or center.
He's an effortless mover with the technical ability that makes him capable of starting right away. Mbow is a high-floor prospect who is capable of playing a variety of positions in any scheme.
6. Dylan Fairchild, Georgia
While Ratledge gets most of the fanfare, Dylan Fairchild has been a pillar of the offensive line this season. The 6-5, 315-pound offensive lineman is a powerful and dependable player, who can play multiple positions inside. While there isn’t anything flashy about him, there is efficiency.
Like Jackson, there isn’t a large amount of varying opinions on Fairchild. He is viewed as a solid prospect who brings a lot to the table.
7. Jared Wilson, Georgia
The last of the Georgia trio to make our top ten, Jared Wilson is a first-year starter for the Bulldogs but has handled his first year with aplomb, as evidenced by a third-place ranking from one of A to Z's scouts.
He isn't the longest player out there, but he has good play strength and awareness despite starting just one year. He can likely be a starting center while on his rookie contract.
8. Garrett Dellinger, LSU
Garrett Dellinger is one of the more intriguing Day Two prospects on the offensive line this year. He's played at four different positions over his LSU career. Dellinger was hurt late, but was putting together a stellar season at left guard for the Tigers in 2024.
9. Seth McLaughlin, Ohio State
After an inauspicious end to his time at Alabama in last year's Rose Bowl, Seth McLaughlin transferred to Ohio State to find a fresh start. It paid off, as McLaughlin's game improved and put him firmly on NFL Draft radars, with one of our scouts giving him a fifth-place nod in his rankings.
McLaughlin was hurt at the end of the season, but he still has plenty of fans in the league and with our scouts.
10. Grey Zabel, North Dakota State
North Dakota State has become a offensive line pipeline in recent years, with players like Dillon Radunz, Cordell Volson, and Cody Mauch all being taken early in the last three drafts. Grey Zabel is next in line to join that group.
A left tackle his final year with the Bison, Zabel's experience playing all five positions will be a boon to his move inside. I think he can stick at guard and handle it well, but there is some discussion he might move to center. He can play either role well and fit in any scheme. Zabel can be a starting-caliber player at either spot while on his rookie contract.
